Other Twitter users are sharing truly beautiful messages in his honour

“We are all departed, but some people are special in their departure by leaving a fingerprint behind them. This fingerprint is either a fingerprint of hope, optimism, love or struggle.”

كلنا راحلون ولكن بعض الأشخاص مميزون في رحيلهم وذلك بترك بصمة خلفهم وهذه البصمة اما تكون بصمة أمل أو تفاؤل أو محبة أو كفاح فتبقى في ذاكرة كل من عرفهم فأقول ان الله وان اليه راجعون
اعمل لدنياك كأنك تعيش دوما واعمل لاخرتك وكأنك تموت غدا🤗
