Malika - I have thought about you over the years, wondering how you are doing. I fondly remember out times in Rabat as school girls. What I remember most about you was your laugh, love for life and beautiful spirit. I am so sorry to hear that you are no longer with us. I guess the heavens needed one of their angels back. XOXO

I have missed you for so many years and I cannot believe that you made your transition. Now, I have a beautiful girlfriend, named Jessica Morales, whom I told all about you, what good of a person that you were. She would have been more than happy to meet you.

Malika made every Tuesday and Friday awesome for me because she had so much happiness and love in her. I only delivered food to her at Canyon Manor, but her smile and her laughter could make the worst days into the best days. My deepest sympathy goes out to her family. I will miss hearing her voice and seeing her during our routine meetings.

I first met Malika when she was a young lady visiting her Mom at work. She always had a smile on her face. I was fortunate to see her again last summer all grown up. It was her smile that I recognized and her kind voice. She was truly a beautiful person inside and out. My prayers go out to her family and friends.
