She always sat in her usual spot at the old Dubai souks… People loved her for her boundless positivity, her love for life and for others, her kindness in feeding birds and cats, and her tolerance towards all creatures. She loved everyone, and everyone loved her. May God have mercy on her, grant her the highest place in paradise, and rest her soul in peace."
