There are no words to express how deeply saddened I am by the loss of my dearest Sue.
For over 50 years, she was an important part of my life—more than a friend, she was family to me.
I will never forget all the Christmases we spent together with all our kids.
I will forever cherish the countless memories, laughter, and moments we shared throughout all these years.
Even though the distance became big between us, we kept the love and the memories with every phone call.
My heart goes out to all of you. I wish I could be there with you.
May you find strength and comfort in knowing how deeply she was loved and how many lives she touched.
She will always have a very special place in my heart. May she rest in peace. ❤️
God bless her soul. She has been a remarkable mother and a beautiful person. She is now without pain. She is united with her husband and my dad. God bless her soul.
Dear Nehme family,
Gary and I would like to extend our very sincere condolences to all of you. I have wonderful, fond memories of Aunt Soheila, with her vivacious laugh, her warmth, and her shining presence. She was very dear to all of us. My father felt a strong affiliation with his sister, and we all enjoyed many happy family times together.
You are all in our thoughts during this very difficult time, and we hold you dear in our hearts.
Love Petra and Gary

Suesue has always been an important part of our lives and our children’s lives as we shared every holiday, celebration and important moment together.

Love Nizar, Reem, Gabby, Elena, Nick and little Mona ❤️
Tante Sue’s light will always shine bright.
Soheila’s unwavering love and kindness towards her family and friends is a source of inspiration. She has a unique ability to unite all and bring everyone closer together. A true definition of an angel.
May you rest in peace, Tante Sue.
Love You!
Susan, Mike, Cora, Joey and James
Lyne and I are very sorry to hear of Soheila’s passing. I have fond memories as a child of the family gatherings where all of us cousins where playing together at the Nehme household, and in the background you could hear the laughter and fun times had by the adults. Whenever, my Dad said we were going over to Soheila’s I was always excited to see my cousins and the great food. Aunt Soheila will be dearly missed. Our deepest sympathies to the Helewa and Nehme families.
Lyne and Norm
