It is with a heavy heart and profound sadness that I write to you today, to share the news of the passing of Talal's beloved father, Amer Kassem. Amer was not only a loving father but also a founding member of Roads for Life. His departure from this world leaves an irreplaceable void in our lives and in the hearts of all who knew him.
Amer was my partner in the journey to find meaning after we lost our dear son, Talal, in a tragic road accident. Our world was shattered, and our family was forever changed. It was during these difficult moments that we found the strength and resilience to transform our grief into a powerful force for change.
Amer's impact was resounding. He worked tirelessly behind the scenes, providing steadfast support and guidance to the organization. His quiet determination and commitment became the bedrock upon which Roads for Life flourished. His dedication inspired all those around him, and his influence will forever be woven into the fabric of the organization he helped shape.
Beyond his passion, Amer had an unwavering love for life. He embraced each day with an enthusiasm that was infectious. Amer's vibrant spirit and zest for life touched the lives of everyone he encountered. His infectious laughter and warm smile brightened even our darkest days.
As we mourn Amer's loss, we also celebrate his remarkable legacy. He leaves behind our strong and resilient children. We are eternally grateful for the outpouring of love and support we have received during this time. Your kindness and compassion have provided us with strength and solace, reminding us that we do not walk this path alone.
With heartfelt gratitude, Zeina Kassar Kassem
