Nematallah, Zakiah, Anwar and Nisrene,
My deepest sympathies on your great loss. I'll never forget the time I spent in your village 37 years ago with Faten and all the Fares kids (the best days!). Sometimes life is very hard!
I cannot imagine the pain and heartache you’re feeling today. I know no words can ease your pain, but I want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers with the hope that the beautiful memories with Faten will give you peace and comfort. Memory Eternal!

Dr. Faten was our family optometrist. Never hesitated to see any of us when we needed, she always had the best sense of humor. This is a huge loss for everyone, she will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace.
We will all miss you,

It is with great difficulty to believe that Dr. Fares is no longer with us. Six members of our family have been her patients for almost 20 years. Her professionalism, friendliness and charisma were reason why we were looking forward to go to see her. She was more than a doctor to her patients. Memory of her smiling will always stay with us. May God give your family strength to overcome these most difficult times. Rest in peace dear Dr. Fares
