It is to you ... our dearest graceful Nathalie Atalla that we all.. in one spirit .. dedicate this prestigious worldwide award 'Country Partner of the Year' 2011.
Recognition moments are supposed to be moments of pride, excitement and strength but the news of your departure from our world, have made them moments that were very tough to take.
You worked anxiously, enthusiastically on this award submission, you broke the news to me about winning the award and you were all along proud about it and about LINK Dev.
For everything you stood for; passion, spirit, energy, inspiration, pride, warmth, life, excitement, beauty and colours, we dedicate this to you.
I Wrote your name on the Egyptian flag on Wed 13th July in Los Angeles, and on stage in front of 15,000 attendees from around the globe, I waved it real high - as high as i could- it might have even touched the clouds! Did you look down and see that!
With loads of love, i waved it, feeling proud and privileged to have known you, worked closely with you, friended you and enjoyed you - the whole of you!
For sure, you have found heaven a more comforting place that our Maadi offices! We will miss you terribly but will remain both, strong and inspired by YOU..
Yours,
Irini Raafat
