Nahed will always be remembered for the good in her and the value she added to humanity. We shared teenage dreams when she was still living in Cairo, Egypt before her marriage and moving to the US with Dean. She had big dreams for the vulnerable communities, and I am happy she saw part of her dreams become true. The news came shocking to me, i googled her name to make plans to meet after so long in my coming visit to the US, and there I find an article about her with the sad news!! May God help her family in their grievance. She has left a legacy that will remain. RIP Nahed.

Nahed was such a beautiful person, inside and out. She was kind, poised, and possessed a generous spirit. She was one person I could speak to in my little remembered Arabic, as I lived in North Africa and studied Arabic. Sincere sympathy to her family.
