Hello Abdirahman Family: How painful a sudden loss is of a dear one, so tender in years. A terrible enemy the Bible likens death, and assure us - as the last enemy, death will be brought to nothing. What a grand day it will be when Ahmed returns walking toward you with open arms. We are promised that all who have fallen asleep in death will hear the commanding call of Christ Jesus voice and come forth. Keep your heads up, this day is quickly approaching us. My deepest regards Kimberly.

Brooklyn was in Ahmed kindergarten class and was fortunate enough to sit next to him through out the year. She would come home and let us know that she was sitting by Ahmed again. She loved being around him and talked about him all the time. She would tell us how he made her laugh that day in school. Our whole family was saddened to hear of his passing. Brooki will tell me almost everyday "I missed Ahmed today". He is a friend that will stay in her heart forever.
Our family shares our deepest sympathies and our prayers are with you.

Ahmed was a wonderful child with a smile that radiated pure joy. He was the first new classmate of our son that my husband and I met. He sat by us in the lunchroom and told us about his day. The second time I saw him he came up to me and gave me a hug. He was such a sweet boy. I will never forget his excitement over eating spaghetti for the first time during the Kindergarten field trip or the way he lay on the couch in the lobby and stretched, saying "ahh, this is so comfortable" with a huge grin spread across his face.
Connor sat next to him in class and played tag with him at every recess. Ahmed was one of his best friends. Sometimes I hear him saying "Hi Ahmed" as he waves to the sky. The other day at the park Connor felt a wet drop on his cheek and said "Mommy, I felt something wet - I think Ahmed gave me a kiss".
We miss him. He and his family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Ahmed was in my daughter's class. She remembers most when he was calendar helper. Also that he loved playing basketball. Ann speaks of him often. My 4th grader Luke, ran with him in running club. We hold him in our hearts forever.

Ahmed was in my daughter's kindergarten class at CTA Liberty. He was the first person Hayley sat by at school. I heard all the things that she and Ahmed did every day for at least the first 3 weeks of school. He was also in her reading group, so I heard about what a wonderful reader Ahmed was. She also talked about sitting by him in music and always leaning on his shoulder and "how soft he was".
I also volunteered in their class often and will miss his smile that could light up a room. Although, only part of our lives for a short while, his memories will never be forgotten. He and his family will be in our hearts always.

Ahmed and my son were in the same class together. Every day Brody sheds a tear for his dear friend. He misses playing soccer, kickball and tag with Ahmed. The boys in this class are very close and they truely miss their dear friend.
I have volunteered in their class and always loved to see Ahmed and his warm smile. He is such a great kid and will never be forgotten. I keep remindnig Brody that although he can not physically see Ahmed, he is still there as his guardian angel and will always be there.

I will miss him, and will be praying for your family and for his dear sister. May God carry you through this terrible time, and draw you to Himself. God bless you, Nurse Nicole

I'm sorry to read of the loss of your son.
The Bible speakes of “time and unforeseen occurrence.” (Ecclesiastes 9:11)
I'm so sorry this happened. The “Hearer of prayer” promises to give holy spirit to his servants who sincerely ask for it. (Psalm 65:2; Luke 11:13) And God’s holy spirit, or active force, can equip you with “power beyond what is normal” to go from one day to the next.

My son Andrew is one of Ahmed's classmates. This is a very close knit group of kids. Andrew has been talking about his friend all day, mentioning how he always had a big smile, was funny, in my son's reading group, how he was a REALLY good reader, sat in my son's row, how they would play on the play ground after school,and what a nice friend Ahmed was. I also saw Ahmed three times this week through volunteering at CTA. Always had a warm genuine smile. Thank you for sharing him with us. He was a precious gift to my son and our family. May you feel God's presence in this time.

I cannot even imagine this pain. I pray for you all that you may somehow make sense of this. We were only 90 secs behind this accident and witnessed the scene and cannot get these images out of our mind.
