Nega, You will truly be missed by everyone you came into contact with especially at Nordstrom. I reminisce that I have known you for around 30 yrs and your infectious smile and your happiness really is something I will always remember. Just us talking and sharing memories of working in the store and of our families is something I will always treasure . So blessed to have worked with you.

I will always remember his genuine smile that he´d always great me with. Our chats when we´d walk past eachother in the store were always positive and he´d make sure to throw in a joke. The hardest working person but would always stop to say hi and ask about my family. He will be missed by so so many.

Nega was the most hardworking and dedicated person to his company like I never met before, an honest person. He was also a loving father who always looked out for his children, an unconditional friend who always had words of comfort when one was sad and someone Who you could count on when you had problems. a great man.

This man was the most uplifting person I ever met in my 20 years at Nordstrom . We would tell each other we loved each other like family. We would buy each other stuff and we danced and made fun of each other everyday non stop . He would tell me he was proud of me . He was super proud of his kids . We listened to Ethiopian music and helped each other as much as possible.
