American Bedu has passed away today after a long battle with cancer. I always felt that we were good friends despite the fact that our friendship was digital. I suspect that all the people whose paths crossed with Carol felt the same way.

I am sad I never got the chance to meet her face to face. I am happy she is no longer in pain and will, God willing, be united with her husband whom she lost to this horrible disease.

Please keep her in your prayers. Please keep her family in your prayers.

يأَيَّتُهَا النَّفْسُ الْمُطْمَئِنَّةُ ارْجِعِى إِلَى رَبِّكِ رَّاضِيَةٍ مَّرْضِيَّةً فَادْخُلِى فِى عِبَادِى وَادْخُلِى جَنَّتِى  

O tranquil soul. Come back to your Lord well-pleased and well pleasing. Enter then among My worshipers and enter My Paradise.

    Allah yr7amha. She truly will be missed. I noticed she was among the last people to comment on your blog. As you said, enshallah she is now at peace, and hopefully along side her dear husband. May she rest in eternal peace.

      True… I was rereading her comments and it makes me so sad I never got to meet her face to face. I will miss her.
