You weren’t just a boss to me. You have been a kind leader, a mentor and someone who always encourages and supports the people around you. While working with you, I learned not only about my profession but also about dedication, professionalism, and the importance of kindness toward others. Your guidance has shaped my career, and your trust has given me confidence in my work.

Your kindness and support will always stay with me. Even though you are no longer with us today, your impact on our lives will remain forever.
May God have mercy on your soul and grant you the highest paradise in heaven. You will remain alive in our memories, and your absence will always be felt.The loss comes just weeks after Salman mourned the death of another close friend.
