Dear Magdi
I met you shortly after I moved to Florida and you have been a very good friend ever since. You were one of the most generous persons I have ever met. Always ready to help in any way you could and you enjoyed doing just that. When you had the Travel Agency you arranged for some free flights or upgrades and that was always appreciated. You insisted on throwing a party for my sixties birthday. It was wonderful affaire where you invited all my friends. We went to a nice restaurant and had a wonderful evening. This was just one the many nice dinners we had over the years. It was also nice to have a couple of drinks and some laughs at the Veranda Bar. I still remember the day on a flight back from Pairs where you were the Purser and treated me like king all along the way. You actually made arrangements so you would be on this particular flight, Needless to say I was pretty buzzed by the time I got to my destination.
One day I was playing golf with my friend John in Michigan. You came along and you were driving the cart. It was early in the morning and the grass was wet. As you drove down a hill you went to fast, hit the breaks which made the cart spinning down the hill. I still remember the look on your face.
Magdi, you left us much too soon and we will remember you for the rest of our lives.
Werner and Sholeh
