Dearest Sarkis, Ani, Mimi, Talin and children,
As the holidays are near, I remembered Ara as we last saw him around this season gathered in Beirut in 2008. We were so happy to see him well. I still cannot comprehend the loss of a kind man like him. He will be missed dearly. Our childhood friend you will always be in our hearts.We convey our sincere condolences to you all from the Minassian family in Danville, PA-Vatche, Natalie, Nareg and Gassia. Also I forward my parent's deepest sympathy to your family and relatives from Kantarjian family - Rosanna, Yenovk-Shavarsh and Robert.

Chère famille Arabian,

I knew Ara when he was very young, he used to come to LORI dance group with his sister Mimi in Beirut. I was really surprised to see his picture, grown up to be a handsome man and a father, and I am still under shock to hear about his death. May his soul rest in heavenly peace. and may God comfort his family and all those who love him with His Holy Spirit.

It is with much pain and sorrow that we took the news of Ara's departure.

Life has so many unanswered questions and this one shall forever be added to the list.

To the family of Ara Arabian,

I just heard the sad news of my friend Ara.
My sincere tzavaktzutunneres (condolences) to all of you. We had graduated together from Armenian High School, and we had great times together. I still have photos of our picnic together at Nahr-Ibrahim. I also have other pictures of him on my Facebook. Although he liked to play practical jokes (especially when he was with Alek Mouradian), he was a good friend and he was fun to be with. He liked helping people.
He also liked rock music, such as Duran Duran. At school, I directed him & other friends and they performed a Duran Duran song. I shall miss him.
I was in Montreal in February, I tried to contact him but I couldn't. I had heard of his illness & I was going to organize a school-reunion party in Beirut, but I guess God didn't want that.
Asdvadz Hokin Lousavore & give patience to all of you & ease your pain & sorrow, He shall never be forgotten as long we all remember him.

Ara was my classmate for many years in Beirut. He was always kind. He had a good sense of humor. I am deeply saddened by his passing. My condolenses to his family. May God guard his two lovely children. May God give you strength and patience in this difficult time.

Dear Taline,

For the past two days, I have been trying to put things into perspective from the last time i spoke to Ara on the Sunday of 24 October by going back through history to the early days of sitting next to Ara at school and all the activities that we used to do together from sports and adventures, hunting, snorkeling, camping, hiking, skiing, outing and the list goes on. These were the merry innocent days of high school until the time of college where we all departed into the wild west chasing our higher education dreams. Throughout this time, we managed to keep in touch in some form or way wherever the winds of change took us in the world.

As the years progressed, Ara settled down and started a family with you and established his own business practice and made it happen as it is come to be known. All this of course was through the grace of God. When his health problems started, we all questioned why Ara, the good personality, physically, mentally and morally. During his ailment years, Ara endured and persevered the harsh times by enriching his faith in God and becoming a stronger believer. I personally felt this every time I spoke to him. Those years were difficult ones for him and to his immediate family and friends. Although it is easier said than done and especially in your case, I am confident that you will not lose faith and continue in his path. For let me recite verses from Corinthians 1:4 'Blessed be the God of all consolation who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them who are in any trouble by the consolation with which we ourselves are comforted by God'. Complementing this is an all time favourite verse of mine that has accompanied me thourghout my life Corinthians 10:13 'God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.'

With your permission, i have decided to add another remembrance day for Ara by contributing in his name to a fund that caters to needy Armenian children's annual education(the San program) until they graduate from high school. This is a symbolic gesture to remember Ara every year through a good cause.

I am sorry that I couldn't be with you this time although my thoughts and prayers are. Until we meet again, i would like to extend my most sincere and heartfelt condolences to you and Ara's parents and relatives. May God be with you in those difficult times and may Ara rest in peace until such time that we all unite again.


Yours Faithfully,
Alec Mouradian
