Rest in peace
I had the pleasure of meeting Arfa Karim Randhawa during the Pakistan Developer Conference and I felt she would go a long way in the service of her country ("Arfa’s death dashes hopes of the nation", Gulf News, January 16). However, unfortunately life betrayed her. May she rest in peace and have eternal blessings. We miss her.

Feeling the void
I offer my sincere condolences to her family — it is also a big loss for Pakistan as a nation. May she rest in peace. I saw her videos on YouTube and can’t stop crying — life is just so unfair sometimes. No words can express the feeling of loss, just prayers for Arfa and her parents. We miss you.

Alive in spirit
Pakistan is a country full of talent and pride. But the loss of Arfa applies not just to the country but to the world given her achievements at such a young age. I would say that she is alive in spirit given the sense of pride she instilled in her country and fellow citizens globally. May her soul rest in peace.

Ray of hope
We have been praying for her every day and, when we heard about her demise, the tears just kept flowing. Most of us have not met her but we shared a conviction that she would continue to remain a ray of hope that would help redeem an aura we almost lost.

Shooting star
She was like a star in the sky that dazzled everyone for a short time, then disappeared forever, leaving an everlasting energy to fuel the minds and hearts of so many who see her as a role model.

A debt of gratitude
Our prayers are with her family. May they have the strength to get through this. This is not just a loss for the family, but a loss for the entire nation. I feel that Pakistan should somehow honour this remarkable young girl for her achievements and show the world the positive side of Pakistan.
