I cannot believe that you are already gone, dear Farah. I look back at the years we spent together at Icom Publications with fondness, longing, and gratitude: we were young, we had dreams, and we held the world in our hands.
My heart aches, knowing that I won't have the opportunity to hear your stories, share our accomplishments of the last 20+ years, and reminisce about the good old times.
Sit tibi terra levis - may the earth rest lightly on you, dear girl.

Gone far too soon - from a former colleague and friend back in the days of Icom Publications - a place where many of us started our journey in journalism, learning our trade, making mistakes, but always having lots of fun. I will always cherish those times and Farah was the brightest and best of us all. Love, condolences and thoughts with your family.

Dearest Mobina, Tammy and Shaezi the news of Farah's sudden death was like a blow to the solar plexus - our hearts were filled with the deepest sorrow! We can only reassure you all of our love and support at this time. Time passes so quickly and it was like it was yesterday that all our children were together in Hebron School spreading laughter and joy for all of us! We are with you in spirit and it's very sad to think that Farah is no more! Lots of Love. Malini and Teddy White.
Dearest FA
You said to me ‘may you find the strength to bear this terrible loss, Kallam’s spirit and courage lives on in you all and I know it will sustain you.’
Those words have been in my heart from the day I heard you left us. I pray those words will be comforting to mum, Tammy and Shez, to your extended family and friends.
Till we meet again.
Mercedes Webb
May your atman be at Shanthi and till we meet again.
Love always

I will miss you Farah. Such a beautiful and wonderful soul.

Farah comes from a fabulous lineage of grandmother, aunts and her own mother. She has inherited three generations of kindness, integrity and a sweetness that surpasses most. I have known Farah since she was 2 years old but have met her only a couple of times in her adult life. She was the adored daughter of Mobina who herself is as complete a human being as can be imagined. Having read all the testimonials from her colleagues I truly believe she did not lead an ordinary life but a life of excellence and admiration. Wherever she goes on her journey may she be surrounded by a halo of goodwill and wonder. Our love for her will always remain.

I was so shocked when I heard that Farah had died. It seemed inconceivable that such a kind and gentle soul could have gone so suddenly. Dearest Farah, you will be sorely missed. You have left us far too soon. I will hold you and Ripley close to my heart. You were a very special woman. X

Fa was a caring, kind and thoughtful friend. She was like a sister to me, and all of you my second family while I was in school at Hebron.
Fa was a beautiful human, although we did not keep in touch as frequently, she never missed connecting on my birthday every year.
Over the past days I have been rereading her letters to me, looking at pictures of our times together. She had a way with words, knew what to say to give you the needed encouragement or smile. I will miss her tremendously and feel privileged and grateful that I had her as a friend.
Wishing you all peace, courage and lots of love during this time of sorrow.

Heartfelt condolences. Farah was so kind and gentle all through school and that's my overwhelming memory of her - her kindness and patience. I know her dog was so precious to her and it's wonderful to know she had a great companion.
Thoughts and prayers are very much with you.

So sorry to hear of Farahs passing. Same class at Hebron School many moons ago. May God bring comfort to the family.
