My beautiful, sweet daughter, you are very deeply loved and missed. Not a day goes by that I don't shed tears of sorrow that you are gone. I miss your sweet smile, your wave goodbye and the kiss you always blew to me. I look forward to seeing you again in heaven.
Love,
Your Mom

When a daughter is born, she opens the heavens to her father.
When a girl gets married, she completes the other half of her husband's religion.
When a woman gives birth, the heavens are open under her feet.
May Allah grant you Paradise, Inshallah!
May Allah let you follow your baby daughter from wherever you are!
RIP! My most sincere condolences to the family!
