I only knew her as a makeup mutual, but even then I know she’s such a unique creative beautiful soul that deserved so much more. I hope you’re resting in peace !!! 🖤

Oh, Guelila... how can you be gone? How can you have left this world? I have so many regrets. The things we never got to do together, the things I never got to say... I'm so sorry, for all of it, for everything I didn't do and everything I didn't say, and for everything I couldn't do and everything I couldn't say. 

You were so beautiful. The good truly do die young. You were such a breath of sunshine, summer in the midst of winter. You were always so kind, so funny, so driven, so loving. I could fill a book with praises for you, and it still wouldn't be enough. You were a shooting star. You always cared for others. You loved everyone so deeply and desperately. 

I miss you so much. I hope when you saw him again, your father gave you the biggest, greatest hug. I hope you're enjoying everything that the beyond has to offer you. You deserve happiness. You deserve the best. 

I'm beyond devastated. I only found out an hour ago, but I don't want it to be true. She was an incredibly kind, compassionate person who led with her heart. We shared a deep passion for the same social issues and a deep love for the beauty community. Thank you for all the late-night FT sessions, the giggly audio messages, and the genuine empathy you showed me for the duration of our friendship. Rest easy, Guelila. Love you always.

Gigi and our foreign exchange student friend Julka from Poland, I spent every day with Gigi in a chambers Choir, she is one of the only contacts I have left from Damascus High School. She made my experience there worthwhile.

Gigi was a true angel to the world. Even as kids in high school she was not only an advocate for so many but just a real and kind person. An amazing artist with a kind heart and conviction to her beliefs. We were never close but her confidence and her vision touched my spirit anytime she came across my screen. 

Thankful to have met you Gigi. I hope you knew the distance of your reach. 

I simply cannot put into word…

I simply cannot put into words how I have been feeling since losing you. It was an honor to get to spend so many years growing with you. I love you always. 🤍

Its so hard to comprehend that the sweetest people go first. Gigi is literally the reason i started talking on social media ever. She gave me the confidence to put more content out. The way he spoke and acted even tho i never met her irl, just made my day whenever we had a talk. 

Wishes to her family and all the people that cared about her. Inshallah her good work always passes on to the others.

So grateful for this day we shared together, our first time hanging out in person. It was an honor to share my teenage years with Gigi. We watched each other grow into adulthood, and Gigi grew to be one of the most radiant human beings to ever grace my life.
It’s so hard for me to fix my mouth to speak about you in the past tense. I can’t make sense of what’s going on but I miss you. You were one of my favourite people in the world. Over the last 5 years, with everything happening in the world, you were the one constant thing that I looked forward to. I looked forward to our FaceTime calls, your makeup looks, your cooking skills, and just about anything that you did. I admired you in so many ways. I won’t speak about the love I have for you in the past tense because that will never stop. I hope we find our way back to each other. 
I thank God I got to share space and time with Guelila, even for a moment. She was so precious and so lovely. Every room was better with her in it. 
Guelila was such a light. She was such an amazing person who was always considerate, kind and caring. I loved seeing how contagious her smile was, and how she was able to make me laugh. She will be missed forever ❤️‍🩹
