May God Strenghthen you in this time of Loss

To Bayt Taha,

Abu Ayman/Um Ayman,

Ayman and I were classmates at Berkeley in the late '90's. In fact he was my best friend. Since I am from Yemen and he from Al-Sudan, we were instant friends, he was a year younger than me but I used to tell him he was wise beyond his years. He was a mentor, scholar, athlete, positive thinker and a huge impact in my life. We share common life goals and the love of sweet music. He was my Hero, he was everything a Good Man should be. My family, who loved Ayman so, also extend their deep remorse. It is my deepest regret I could not be of any help to him in more recent years. If there is anything I can do please do not hesitiate to ask or call, I owe him so much and so I am at your service.

Respectfully Yours
