Hala Musafat

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I always think of you and wish things had been better for you. God bless your soul

You will always live in our hearts and prayers.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

My daughter is a treasure, a blessing from above. She’s laughter, warmth, and special charm, she’s beauty, and she’s love.

My daughter brings a special joy that comes from deep inside, as she grows into womanhood, she fills my heart with pride. With every year that passes, she’s more special than before, through every stage, through every age, you love her even more.

No words can describe the warm memories, the pride and gratitude too, that come from having a daughter to love, and to cherish.

Hello,
Can someone tell me if Hala's grave has a headstone installed? if so, please attach a picture.

Good Bye my beloved Hala..I think of you everyday..

You were an angel from above,
Pure heart filled with love,
Whit peaceful soul like a dove,
Once sent to me from heavens above.

Dear Hala,
I missed you in the family gathering on Dec 25th/09. Your smile will always live with us.

Although I cannot stop thinking about you with each passing day, I thought of you today in this very moment and felt the need to cry and write these words to you.

God bless your soul.

Love,

Dear sweet heart Hala
From time to time I remember how sweet heart you were, full of life and energy. It is so sad we lost you. Your innocent face and lovely smile will never be forgotten. May God be with you...

God bless those people who barely knew her who once more did the most beautiful thing of respect, humility, and final magnificent tribute to a beautiful and God loving woman, who died in sadness and sorrow.

I am very relieved now that Hala's resting place has a headstone to be identified as to whom is buried in this grave.

Hala will remain part of our lives, and she will be in our consciousness as long as we live.

Tomorrow is your 40th anniversary Hala. God bless your soul and place you in his paradise.

You will always hold special place in my heart. No matter how far you're from here, to my heart, you're always so close and near.

Your cousin,

Amal

Dear J.P. Thank you for your support. My email address was posted, so please feel free to email me anytime. I might come for another visit to her grave in few months so we might get together and talk in person.

Thank you.
Amal

Amal, this is J.P. I wished I could be there for you but I was so busy for a couple of weeks trying to get all the papers done for our house and moving last weekend.I am really thankful that I have the address of the cemetery now. I will visit my dearest friend, Hala, this weekend. I just totally miss her.

She was such an adoring person.

Thanks...

J.P.

Last night (Sept. 19th/2009) I came from Windsor after saying my last good bye and paying my respect to Hala. I traced her address, school, and the intersection where she was killed. I can't tell you how much I was moved by the sad emotions that have flooded my heart and soul. In those moments, I imagined her short life in that city, and how she had lived alone trying to create a new life for herself, after her divorce, and the death of her father.

Visiting the intersection when she was killed, and meeting with her friend, who witness the accident was a complete emotional time for me, especially when he described the accident and how it happened. Him and I cried together and hugged each other, and both of us were moved by her untimely death.

Looking at the building where she lived was very moving experience, particularly, knowing she had lived alone without any family or relative near by. I also traced the road that she walked to the bus stop, where she went to school to learn and better herself.

Visiting her grave was very overwhelming. It crushed my heart seeing a grave in which a young woman, who barley turned 30 laying inside forever far way from her family and loved ones. She died without seeing her youthful dreams come true.

I prayed, cried, touched the grave, and I asked Allah to shower her with his mercy, love, and his compassion. I prayed from the depth of my heart to Allah to give her the peace she failed to have in her life since she came to Canada.

God Bless Your Soul Hala.

Cousin, Amal

I wish It was in my power to ease your pain and sorrow. Hala, forgive us all for not supporting you enough....

There are no words can describe my sorrow when I laid my flowers on you grave. I said my prayers and asked mighty God for his blessing, forgiveness and kindness to look after you.
Your were an angle sent to us from heaven, but is there place for angles on earth!
It has been few weeks since you left us. My world is not the same, my nights are so long ,my days are so short. Thinking of you makes sad and angery of how unfair your life was.
God watched you crying, God watched you suffering and it was time for you to leave this ugly life and go to better place where there will be no tears to cry and no pain to suffer.
Rest in peace my dear Hala, you will always be in our prayes

My Dear Sweetheart Hala,

My precious niece, you were so kind and tender. I loved you so much and wished you would not had to live far away. I will always miss you. My eyes swell with stinging tears every time I look at your picture. I will always remember you. I pray to God to embrace you with his mercy and love.

-Your loving aunt

It's so hard to believe you're not with us anymore! Hala, you were so sweet and down to earth. You loved Canada so much and you just wanted to be with us, you did not ask for much. You will always live with us in our hearts and minds. Rest in peace dear Hala. Love you.

Thank you.

Amal Al-badri

There are no words to describe the utter grief that I am feeling right now Hala. I am still completely shocked at the sudden of your death.
You were a good person and a pleasant cousin to be with and I will sorely miss you.

I am grateful to have known you and you will always be remembered as the sweet, gentle, fun, my dear beloved Hala.

Love you,
Cousin Amal

I had hoped things would really work better for you, unfortunately your journey had ended so sudden, so soon. I look at your pictures and think you are truly an angle Hala..

We are still in disbelief of this tragedy and shockingly sad news. We have met Hala during her stay in California. She was cordial, sincere, optimistic about the future of her studies and generous. We last saw her almost a year ago when she cooked us a delicious Iraqi dinner. Hala will always be in our hearts and minds. Her memory will always be with us.
Our deepest sympathy and condolences to Hala's family. May God give you the courage to overcome this great loss.
Rest in peace. With love. Please let us know if we can help in any way.

Pavla & Mo

No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. My deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.

Rafah and I met Hala but once, yet that one meeting was enough to recognize that she was a genuinly nice person.

My condolences to you all.

This is very tragic news

Hala was a very nice person, and I knew that the first moment I met her in Baghdad

Our condolences to you all

Sami, Sanaa, Smiljka, Mustafa & Mustafa

There is always a face before me,
A voice I would love to hear,
A smile I will always remember,
Of a cousin I loved so dear.
Deep in my heart lies a picture,
More precious than silver or gold,
It's a picture of my cousin,
Whose memory will never grow old.

Rest in peace my sweatheart, I know God will look after you, now you are truly alive

You will always live in our hearts and prayers.

My beloved sweetheart Hala,

when I heard the news this morning, I could not believe it. I think I may have fell off my chair. What has happened to you is such a tragedy. I keep getting flash backs of your beautiful face, and innocent smile.

I remember when we went downtown together, we had so much fun. The laughter, the jokes, the belly dance store we went to, etc.... Then our delicious dinner afterwords, followed by some belly dancing =) .. Oooo memories. Beautiful memories...I will hold you dear and close to my heart. You were a beautiful person, inside and out. You were taken from us too soon..but even though you're gone, you'll never be forgotten. I'll always have a place for you in my heart. May God...Keep you safe with him. And may you Rest in Peace.

I Love You,

Amal

My sweet Hala,

There are no words that can express the pain and sadness that lies in my heart. It is still so hard to believe that you're gone forever. You did not deserve this. You deserved a great life, full of happiness and joy, because that is all you spread whenever you walk into a room. You never hurt a soul, never done any wrong to anyone.

When you left Toronto, you took a piece of all of us with you.

You were so brave to start your life all over again, after all the difficult times you went through.

All we wanted was to hear your voice and tell us that you are doing good again.

It is truly unfortunate and sad that your life ended, just as it was beginning.

You will stay forever in our hearts. You are an angel that came into our lives, and left too soon. We will always pray for you and will never, ever forget you.

Rest in peace my love.

May God be with your family in Baghdad, London, and New York. We pray that they stay strong and survive this difficult time.

Dear sweet Hala,
I will cry and pray for you for the rest of my life. I wish I keept in touch with you. My life is empty without you. My heart will be broken forever. I will love you and miss you forever. God bless your soul.

Love

Hala, my dear cousin it was a shock to hear of this tragic accident. Forever and always it will engrave a scar into my heart we will always remember your beautiful smile and how it filled the room with joy.

May Allah bless your soul.
You will not be forgotten.

It was great Shocked to me to hear that Hala My dearest Cousin was gone , She was an innocent woman and simple, My heart broked when I heard her tragic end ,Hala you be always in our mind

Hala, my sweet and wonderful cousin. May you rest in peace. I will always remember your loving and warm kisses.

My dear sweetheart, beautiful Hala.
You were my cousin, my sister, and my best friend. You were always in my mind and my heart.

When I heard the tragic news I hoped and prayed it was not true; I hoped it was just a nightmare. I was shocked and I still am shocked. I missed you from the moment you left Toronto, and I will miss you forever.

You were my innocent angel. Just thinking of you, my eyes swell with tears.

Hala you are in a better place now. I hope that I will join you one day. Rest in peace my love. God bless your soul. You will always be in my mind and my heart, never forgotten.

Love,

"Ina lil lahi wa in ilayhe raji3oon"
"we all belong to God and to God we shal all return"
Allah rihamik

Friend

She was a sweetheart, never hurt anyone, kind and sincere. Her tragic ending is shocking. Rest in peace dear Hala, I'll always remember your kindness. God bless you.

I was so shocked to hear the tragic news. I'm so sorry that this happened to you. I will always remember how sweet and kind you where to me, I'll never forget your smile, and laugh. May you rest in peace and be in a better place.

She was as dear to me as my own daughters. I could not believe that she was gone, and I am still trying to make sense of it.

Hala: you will always be with us.

It was sad and tragic news to see you leaving us to better place without saying proper farewell to you.
You may rest in peace, we are sure that you are in a better place than ours.
You were such a nice person that never hearts anyone. You never complain for what you went threw in the past year with all difficulties. My God bless your soul.
It's like a train journey each one of us will reach their destination at a time is not determined by us. This train has never stopped and keeps going till a time beyond our imagination.
What will be left of us is the only good deed and what we leave as last impression (print) for the other to remember us for who we are.

i never got to see her in a long time ever since she had gone to the U.S.A i had missed since then a couple years later i found out she was dead. I'll never forget that last smile she gave me the last smile she will ever give to me she liked me alot i liked her alot i will remeber her as she smiles down at me.

In loving memory of our dearest cousin Hala. We will love you and miss you always.

Hala you were the sweetest nicest person I have ever met truely genuine and loving. My heart broke when I heard what happend I just wished it wasn't you.

And I now have nothing
but your heartbeat in my head
and a photograph of my traveling friend

I will never forget you and I will always keep you close.

Love

It was a great shock for me and my family to hear about this very tragic event. May God bless her soul.

We will always remember you Hala.

Cousin Ahlam Mustafa

Hala, my dear sweet and beautiful cousin. May God see your family through those tough times.

For all sad words of tongue and pen, the saddest are those 'She lived such a short life!'

We will miss you Hala and the good times we had when you were among us. You brought with you much joy and hope for a better future. Your journey has just began, yet it ended so suddenly. Our only solace is that you are now in a far far better place.

Hala, my dear, sweet and beautiful cousin. May god bless your soul and see your family through those tough times.

I was shocked to hear the news of her tragic death. May Allah bless her soul and give solace to her family. Al-Fatiha

Today I had a vision

that God came to my door.

The feeling in my heart,

I'd never had before.



He said He had a gift for me,

a very precious one.

He said it was because of all

the nice things I have done.



He said I have been kind,

and not much did I seek,

So He stopped by to give this gift,

to make my life complete.



I couldn't help but wonder,

what God must have in mind,

But in my heart I knew for sure,

nowhere else would I find.



He told me I must cherish this,

and give back all I could,

And without I doubt I knew,

I'd do everything I should.



I waited then to see,

what this precious gift would be,

He said I must give half of me;

that would be my guarantee.



He told me to hold out my hand,

but still I had no clue,

Then He placed His hand in mine,

and said my gift was YOU.

you was such a nice friend, and such a nice person, we can't beleive we lost such a nice friend and is so hard to say you goodbye to you , rest in peace, alllah blessed you

HALA REST IN PEACE WE ARE GOING TO MISS YOU A LOT, AND IS SO HARD TOO SAY TO YOU GOODBYE FORVERE,
your friends miss yoou a lot , , and we cant believe that we lost you forvere
rest in peace

HALA REST IN PEACE WE ARE GOING TO MISS YOU A LOT, AND IS SO HARD TOO SAY TO YOU GOODBYE FORVERE,

When Hala was four years old......

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Rest in peace Hala. May Allah grant you jannah. We will always remember and pray for you.

So tragic and so young. This is a reminder for us all that lives can be changed at any second.

Peace be upon you

Wesam
Hala's cousin

Hala was born on the 26th of June 1979, which coincided with the first day of the blessed month of Ramadhan for that year. That is why her uncle named her “Hala” which is derived from “crescent” or “hilal”, the sighting of which marks the beginning of the month prayer, fasting and reflection. She was raised in her grandfather’s household and she has always enjoyed a special place in the hearts our family, being the firstborn grandchild. Hala was a most beautiful a well-behaved little girl. Throughout her school days she was a diligent student who respected her teachers. Hala studied biology at university in Baghdad, where she was one of the top students.

Hala’s love for knowledge and religion was profound, and she prayed and fasted from the age of 9 years old. She was always conscious of the way she treated people and tried not to upset or hurt anyone. In her final days she had hoped to be successful in her studies at Windsor College, but her Lord chose her for the next world, in which she will by Allah’s Will be successful. The accident has been a huge shock for all of her family and we are strengthened and extremely grateful for all the condolence messages we have received. Hala met her Lord in the month she was born, fasting and carrying out the duties of this holy month, and hence we pray He will treat her with His grace and love.

We would like to thank all those who participated in her funeral and burial, and to ask that you remember her and her family in your prayers.

Hala’s family
