Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
We are saddened to hear of your loss. We will miss Mr. Saad’s friendly face and easy conversation at Byblos where my mother and I have often lingered over tea long after our meal. Byblos has long been my first destination after returning home from northeastern Kansas and Georgia. We have enjoyed watching your girls grow up. We look forward to seeing you next year, Ilham, for our usual lentil and rice pilaf. Our hearts are heavy for you and your family.
