Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Saleem was one of the nicest, brightest and most thoughtful people I have ever known. When a difficult topic came up, you could count on Saleem to provide a well reasoned response. Saleem will be greatly missed.
I was fortunate to have worked with Saleem at Coleman in 2006 before returning home to the East Coast. Saleem was welcoming, helpful, intelligent, hard working. He was a fair and accomplished attorney. I valued his judgement and thoughtful perspective. May the Lord watch over his children and offer peace to his family, friends and former colleagues during this very painful time.
There are no words to express my sympathy and regret. He is missed. You, your children, and Saleem are in my prayers.
Dear Pam, Aydan, and Ava, I worked with Saleem. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Saleem will be mised.
I am sorry for your loss Pam. May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
I am thinking of each of you and shall pray for peace and comfort during this difficult and sad time. Please feel free contacting me, any time. Sincerely and with sympathy, across the miles,in Boca Raton, FL

Pam- You don’t know me, but we have mutual friends here in Andover and I hope one day we meet. My name is Ame Brubaker-Bourque and last year my children and I walked the path you walk today, my ex husband was also 41. I am a resident of Andover and had heard about this but no name was mentioned. I suggested Kidzcope – it’s a great program and I am actively involved with them now. I saw the obituary and wanted to reach to you privately – I am here if you need a someone who truly understands – my heart and prayers go out to you, Ayden and Ava. Please know you are not alone…
Dear Pam Ayden and Ava, Our thoughts and prayers are with you and our hearts are broken by your loss. Your father and husband was an extraordinary man in many ways. He will be missed in many ways and we wish you you all only the best going forward. We remember so many special moments with Saleem and will hold these in our hearts as we know you will as well. If there is ever anything yuo need, our time and resources are yours. God bless you. Gary, Cyndy, Justin & Sage Kiedaisch all who knew and worked with Saleem at The Coleman Company.
No amount of words can ease what you’re feeling. I wish peace and comfort were a tangible gift I could give you. Please accept my deepest sympathies. I hope all the love of family and friends help relieve some of the pain of Saleem’s sudden loss. I will miss him too.
Pam, Aydan, and Ava, I am so sorry for your loss. I worked with Saleem. He was a great colleague and very bright attorney. He always spoke of his love for his family and especially his children.
Pam, Ayden, and Ava, Our hearts are heavy for your family’s sudden loss. We realize that there are no words to ease the pain of such magnitude. I can only remind you that WE ARE HERE to ‘lighten your load,’ however that might be. You are in our thoughts, hearts, and prayers. Fondly, Jing, David, Miles, Savannah, and Luke The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit’ (Psalm 34:15,1).
Dear Pam, Ayden, and Ava, We are so sorry for your loss. We are thinking of you all.
