I feel teta is still with me, i remember everyday - really every single day, she left us early but the impact she had and still has on me is huge. I thank her so much for some of the best memories i've had in her house and with her spirit in us:

- when we used to come to lebanon when i was really tiny she'd tell me really nice stories about "princess carolina" she used to complement me so much since i was small about how i have small eveys and small lips (2 things i didnt like!)
- me and dalia disco dancing in her hallway, like really disco dancing.
- me and dalia and victor just slouching on the couches and the floor and her around us telling us to please stop being such couch potatoes.
- me doing wierd games for carla and fadia whenever i learnt them from um-el-noor
- carla always painting pics of me (really wierd ones)
- the way she'd swear as a joke but like really BIG WORDS and theyd always be so cute on her
- the way she was not only a teta but a cool person and a good freind
- me doing the "crab dance" to her and shed keep telling me to stop being stupid UNTIL i got enjured actually doing that dance.
- her helping with complicated foods ive made like borghol betfin and makhlobet jazar.
- always hearing her saying such positive things about all of us, she was so proud of her kids and grandchildren
- the way she NEVER ever complained about anything (except blacky staying at her house)
- me and dalia and vistor putting a pic of samir ja3ja3 on her door

There are so many many more memories...they all bring a smile to my face =)

I love you so much teta! Hugs and kisses from all of us!

hi Leila , I am still waiting for you to come back to Lebanon ,I don't agree with anybody who say you are dead in my brain you are still alive ,as I know you with your elegance your beauty your laugh our secrets shared between us may be some day we shall meet I love you too much echtaatellek and nobody can take your place in my heart kisses

I met Leila a few times when she came to visit Hoda in Oman. I remember her as a strong woman in whose eyes one can read so much. She had a strong family ties and was happy to spend so much time patience with children. When I met her for the first time, I was very impressed by her warm personality and despite all odds, she had a positive manner of life generally. May she rest in peace.

Although I met Leila a few times while she visited Hoda in Oman, I was very impressed by her strong tolerance, courage in dealing with issues both positive and negative and her balanced view about people. I always remember her as a strong woman who went through so much yet held her head high. In her eyes, I saw she had so much to tell. Bless her sole.

Dear Teta Leila, six years have passed since you left us and the memories that I have of you keep reminding me of how lucky I am to have you as my grandmother. You were always such a positive person who remained strong and happy even when facing difficulties. I wish that we had more time together but I'm also very grateful that I had a person like you in my life. Being around you was always fun and whenever I remember being with you, what I remember most is laughing and enjoying our time. You were, and still are, a source of strength and inspiration to so many people around you and the love that you showed for us really made a difference in our lives. We all miss you and love you a lot!

Maman, ma jolie maman, ma belle maman, maman, ce petit mot qui veut tout dire, maman tu me manques !!!! Chaque jour je me dis j'aurai du passer plus de temps avec toi, chaque jour je me dis j'aurai du faire plus attention a toi,. Tu es la, dans mon coeur, toujours avec moi. Ne me quitte jamais Maman. Je t'aime.

oh maman si tu savais
combien de fois je l'ai regretté
de t'avoir fait tant crier
a cause de mes stupidités

maman je ne sais pas comment tu as fait pour me supporter
car tant de bêtises j'ai déjà fait
mais malgré tout ça, j'espére que tu sais que je t'aime
et excuse moi si je t'ai fait tant de peine...

Tante Leila, I miss you sooo much, I love you, you are always in my heart, and I always remember the special wonderful moments that we share when we were together, pray for us we need your prayer badly, take care of my Aurel. You were and still the only best friend that I have ever had. Love you soooooo much. Rest in peace habibti.

Leila Memorial est devenu permanent aujourd'hui lundi 27 Janvier 2014 et sans limite de photos. Merci Hoda de l'avoir fait et merci à mes soeurs car c'est de leur part aussi. Deux nouvelles photos de portrait de Leila. En espérant qu'elles vous plairont.

Forever MISSED, forever YOUNG...
Taunt Leila was - and some times i feel that she is still is - my aunt, my mom, my sister, and my friend...
Some sad moments in her life, however, always full of endless joy and energy...
I remember the day we decided to go out for fun...ready for any kind of adventure, with the young as well as the old...never says no...
Will always be YOUNG at heart and in EVERY heart...

Notre Maman etait une des personnes les plus extraordinaires que j'aie jamais connues. Ce memorial est pour l'hopnorer, la remercier de tout son amour inconditionnel, la remercier de tout ce qu'elle a represente pour nous. Sa perte etait l'un des chocs les plus durs de ma vie. Je t'aime Maman.
