Rest in Peace Doris
ReplyDeleteDear Rima, Allah Yerhamha ! She was really an outstanding personage and Nadia and I vividly remember the very pleasant evening we spent with both of you at your Dag Hammarsjkold apartment. We also cannot forget the delicious Palestinian cooking that she was famous for, of which we partook and enjoyed. Her pleasant and open personality endeared her to us even if it was that one time.
ReplyDeleteMay She Rest in Peace.
رحم الله دوريس. اصدق العزاء عزيزتي ريما

Dear Rima, a big hug! Viva Palestina!
ReplyDeleteSo saddened to hear this. Stanley and I had the pleasure of meeting Doris on several occasions .Our heartfelt condolences.
ReplyDeleteDear Rima. It is so sad to learn of the passing of Doris. A very pleasant person with skill and resilience dedicated to the service of others in Palestine under the most difficult conditions of occupation. The memory of her good works lives on. May she rest in peace in God's loving care. Thinking of you at this difficult time and recalling pleasant times with you and Doris. Hanan and Nassib join me in sending you and the family our deep condolences. Habib Hammam
DeleteMy heartfelt condolences on the passing away of your sister Doris. Although I haven't met her but heard a lot about her. My sister in law worked as her secretary in Jerusalem in early seventies and spoke very highly of her. May her dear soul rest in eternal peace.

ReplyDeleteC'est avec tristesse que j'ai appris la mort de ta soeur Doris. Certes ce depart represente une lourde perte pour toi. Neanmoins penses que Doris a eu une belle vie personnelle et professionnelle. En temoigne cet hommage de la YWCA. Certainement cette realite qu'elle n'est plus est assez cruelle. Mais il ne faut pas ceder. Il faut faire preuve de foi et de courage avec cette pensee qu'elle nous a precedes car un jour nous partirons aussi. Que son ame repose en paix!

Dearest Rima,
ReplyDeleteWe don't know what to say. We had just finished our thanksgiving message to you and Doris when we read that Doris had left us. We cannot imagine the depth of your sorrow and wish we had words to comfort you. Doris was your sister and, through you, she became ours too. As they say in French, she was "a force tranquille". A sweet but ferocious fighter of injustice.
She will be very much missed. May her soul rest in eternal peace. You, Gisèle and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerest condolences, Saad and Hoda

With warm regards,

Sincere condolences dear Rima! Arms around you!
ReplyDeleteDear Rima, so sorry to hear of Doris passing. She was such a kind person and I loved listening to her stories of her work. She hosted us when we visited on your behalf with tea and cookies till you arrived back from your meetings. She will be with the angels. Our sympathies to you and family. Much love Rohini and Luke
ReplyDeleteA sister is such a blessing……She was devoted to our work for human rights and social justice. An inspiration to us all. She will be fondly remembered and deeply missed.

DeleteDear Rima,
ReplyDeleteI am saddened at this news. Doris is on her way to her desired destination, I know in my heart. May she rest in peace.
And for you, I pray for courage. I understand your pain– I have also tasted loss. Time doesn't heal––the heart carries the grief and continues . . . but at some point one learns to manage and live with it. One day, it will happen. Please take care of yourself. Sending you warm hugs.
Dear Rima, sending you and yours condolences on the loss of your dear sister. God bless. Jim Mayrides

My dear Rima,
ReplyDeleteI am so very sad to learn about the passing of your dear sister Doris.
Binata and I recall our multiple meetings with her - and her graceful hospitality at your apartment, at the UN & UNICEF. She was such a lovely sister — not just to you but to me and so many of our UN/UNICEF colleagues as well. I can imagine how hard it must be for you to cope with life without Doris. I can also imagine how hard it must have been for Doris and you in recent months to witness the horrific tragedy that is befalling the Palestinian people. Please accept my heartfelt sympathies. May Doris' noble heart rest in eternal peace, and may you have the strength to cope with her loss.
Cordially, Kul G
