I know that Heeneh will miss Asa just as you miss him greatly. I will take Asa's memory with me to Heeneh, and to Mount Hermon (Jabal Al-Sheikh), when I go to Syria next time. I am honored Asa was part of my life. I will always remember how he welcomed me in his home when I first arrived from Syria and made me feel at home. I pray that his memory will always give you the love and strength that carry you forward so that you touch others' lives like he did so many.
