In Memoriam - Villagio Fire Tragedy

Forgive me 'cause I didn't go to the vigil or mess today to show support. Forgive me for being coward no to face you, 'cause I wouldn't bare the pain. Forgive me to dare to feel your pain, 'cause in truth I don't know If I'd be strong enough. Please accept my words below and I hope somehow, someday you find the peace you probably are looking for.

Death is nothing. I only spent to the other side of the road. I am me, you are you. What I did was for you, I remain. Give me the name you always gave me, talk to me as you have always done. You continue to live the world of creatures, I'm living Creator of the world. Do not use a solemn tone or sad, keep laughing what made us laugh together. Pray, smile, think of me. Pray for me. That my name is pronounced as always, without emphasis of any kind. Without any trace of shadow or sadness. Life means all what it always meant, the cord was not cut. Because I would be out their thoughts, Now I'm just out their views? I'm not far I'm just across the road ... You got it there, go ahead, life goes on, beautiful, beautiful as ever.
St. Augustine

La muerte no es nada. Yo sólo pasamos al otro lado de la carretera. Yo soy yo, tú eres tú. Lo que hice fue por ti, Me quedo. Dadme el nombre siempre se me dio, hablar conmigo como has hecho siempre. Usted sigue viviendo el mundo de las criaturas, Estoy viviendo Creador del mundo. No utilice un tono solemne o triste, mantenga riendo lo que nos hacía reír juntos. Ora, sonríe, piensa en mí. Ruega por mí. Que mi nombre se pronuncia como siempre, sin énfasis de ninguna clase. Sin ningún rastro de la sombra o la tristeza. La vida significa todo lo que siempre quiso decir, el cable no se cortó. Porque yo estaría fuera sus pensamientos, Ahora sólo estoy fuera sus puntos de vista? No estoy muy Yo sólo soy al cruzar la calle ... Ya lo tienes ahí, seguir adelante, la vida sigue, bella hermosa, como siempre.

San Agustin

May ALLAH give the strength and courage to all affected families to bear this great loss.
May ALLAH save all of us from such disasters.
Amen.

Inna Lillahi wa inna Illaihi Rajioon

Angel Whispers

Dear Mommy,
before we said our first hello,
the time had already passed.
For when you held us in your arms,
we had gone to heaven to rest.
We felt angelic tears down our cheeks,
and watched you as you wept.
We wish we could have changed it all,
Your tears touched our souls so deep.
But Mommy when you are sad,
please be assured we know.
For death cannot take away your love,
it will only continue to grow.
Time and distance cannot erase,
a love and bond so deep.
There is no bond that can compare,
and in your heart we'll keep.
When you are feeling far away,
and missing us so much,
close your eyes and feel our wings,
there soft and gentle touch.
Or at night as you sleep,
we'll join you in a dream.
You will see us standing close to you,
and we'll be lost within our wings.
So dear Mommy,
as you go from day to day.
Find comfort in the knowledge,
we are never that far away.

I read these words somewhere and want to dedicate 'em to unfortunate victims...

I M SICK...
I M SPEECHLESS...
inna lillah wa inna ilayhi rajiyoune...

I would like to extend my deep and sincere condolences to the families of this horrid tragedy.. I really don't know what to say :(

Seeing the pictures of the triplets on the news brought tears to my eyes. I looked at them and then at my grand daughter who is nearly the same age. I thought about how much pain I went through when she was ill and I shed a tear for the parents who lost those lovely children.

I also felt admiration and grief for the adults who lost their lives in trying to save the little ones.

Yes, I am very angry that this has happened, but for now, I just want to pray for those who died and their loved ones who must be trying to find answers to the thousand of questions going through their heads.

May the Lord bless them and give them the strength to bear their losses.

My heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families, may you all find the strenght, courage and peace during your journey of grief. May God bless you.

My prayers are with you.

God put mercy on us

For certain is death for the born
And certain is birth for the dead;
Therefore over the inevitable
Thou shouldst not grieve.

No pain in this world could ever come close to the pain of losing a child. May no parent ever get subjected to this experience no matter who they are. I can feel the devastating experience those parents must be going through. Vocabularies fall apart, words express their dismay when someone attempts to convey the feeling after such an experience. I know what the parents must be going through on the basis of how I felt 2 years ago. My heartfelt condolences go to those parents and I wish Allah give them the courage to overcome the toughest time of their lives. My heart goes out to the teachers who lost their lives in the tragedy and I salute those brave firemen who fought till their last breath to rescue the little angels.

My Family and the entire Filipino Community in Qatar sincerely condole with the bereaved families and praying that the Almighty God give rest to the souls of the departed and give comfort to the grieving families. It was tragic, painful and difficult to accept. God is the most merciful, kind and just, everything happened with a purpose and within His judgement and divine will.

Do not harden your heart for God prepared a place for the departed wherein no pain, no sadness, no worries but all happiness peace and joy. For God so love the world, that whoever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. Peace be with you all brothers and sisters.

Condolences to the Families Who Lost their Loved ones, May GOD Give YOU Courage to Bare the Loss.

19 Innocent Souls Who Lost their Lives, Indeed they are not Coming back, But They Are, Will be in our Prayers forever. May Your Souls Rest in Peace, May You All be In Heavens... AMEN

Heaven and the spirit world are much more real, beautiful and lasting than the world which you can see with your natural eyes at this very moment...

The husband of the Accountant (one of the 3 Filipinas who died in the fire)could have saved herself but she opted to stay with the kids hoping they will be saved.

It was said that the husband tried to save her but the firefighters and rescuers couldn't let him in as he might also die.

He heard her last words/breath as they spoke on the mobile phone as he hear the children crying.

This is what one guy (who personally knew the bereaved husband).

MY SINCEREST CONDOLENCES for those who lost their loved ones. I don't know anyone of them...but as a mother/parent/sister, I felt the grief of losing someone we dearly love.

Let not this incident be forgotten. Let there be justice..the one responsible be punished. They may escape the hands of justice...but their soul will burn and KARMA will catch up with them...sooner or later.

Qatar is a multi-national but one community grieving for the nonsensical death of innocent lives. May the LORD guide them to ETERNAL PEACE & HAPPINESS.

My apologies if I seemed to be incoherent...

Warm condolences to all families who have lost their loved ones, May God give you patience

When You feel Lonely
When a person you love passes away
Look to the night sky on a clear day.
The star that to you, appears to be bright,
Will be your loved one,
Looking upon you during the night.
The lights of heaven are what shows through
As your loved one watches all that you do.
When you feel lonely for the one that you love,
Look to the Heavens in the night sky above.

It is not growing like a tree
In bulk, doth make men better be;
Or standing long as oak, three hundred year,
To fall at last, dry, bald and sere:
A lily of a day
Is fairer far in May.
Although it fall and die that night
It was the plant and flower of light.
In small proportion we just beauty see;
And in short measure, life may perfect be.

Ben Jonson

Exalted, compassionate God, grant perfect peace in Your sheltering Presence, among the holy and the pure who shine with the splendor of the firmament, to the soul of our dear ones who has gone to their eternal home. May their soul be bound up in the bond of life. The Lord is his portion. May they rest in peace.. Amen.

Dear Lord,

Please blessed these little angels that you called upon to be with you. Blessed the souls of the two fire fighters who risk their lives to save other's lives...bless those 3 Filipino teachers who were far away from their family to earn money..as well as their other colleague who we've lost as well... and for those people who still suffers pain and got hurt by this tragedy...give courage and strength for their loved ones for them to be strong and go on to face the world and the future..Please take away the pain that we're feeling right now.. Guide them Lord that they will be with you in your paradise..

God bless Qatar..God bless us and be with us all!

...with those angel faces smile at Vill. nursery, although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrows of the tragic, in fact it’s in destiny. No one has in control…can’t even question at all:(... my deepest sympathy and offer my prayer to thier love ones(parents) to have strenght and courage,keep hold with faith to our almighty God the alpha and Omega.

unbelivably sad!!!

Hope that family memebers concerned have the strength to endure this ever lasting pain which will never go away!!

I cry at everything - was a the vet today to pay my account. Saw one of our rescue dogs with her new mommy.... I burst into tears.

Everytime I see pics of the families, videos, I ball my eyes out.

I cannot fathom what any of them must be feeling and I just want to say to them, I cannot know what losing a child feels like, but I can tell you that I am grieving with you for the loss of your children, and with the families of the teachers and firefighters.

I pray for your stength during this testing time, and have faith that if you cling to Allah/God during this period, your aching hearts will eventually be releaved, but your memories will never die.

I cannot imagine and I am too cowardly to dare to, the abyss of harrowing pain these families must be going through. I hope you all somehow find peace and eventually learn to smile again. If there was someway we could take away just a fraction of your pain and suffering many of us would. My heart and many others all around the world go out to you.

i was all dressed up to go pick my 4 year old daughter from school and take her along to Villagio when I received a text saying that there was a fire and that it wasn't serious. My daughter and I actually went up to the signal just before Villagio with the intention of going to Hyatt Plaza instead when we saw the police vehicles, civil defence vehicles and the ambulances zipping past. We turned around when we saw that they had suddenly blocked the road and came back home wondering what the fuss was all about. It was around 5pm that my husband, who works in Aspire, called me and told me about the indescribable tragedy that happened there. I don't think it sunk in till I went to lie down beside my daughter at night and simply lay there looking at her. I haven't been able to let her out of my sight since.

I hope and pray to God to give the families the ability to live each day with a little less pain than the day before...to remember the good times they had with the wonderful people who perished, and to be able to let go when the time is right. God is immensely merciful in that He has definitely taken those beautiful children and those brave teachers and firefighters to a much better place. May they all rest in peace. God Bless.

May their Spirit rest in Heaven, God take care of those little babies...:(

Though I am working in Baladiya, I have to tell the truth. I have a big concern from day one in Qatar as quality of MEP sector is very poor. You cannot take risk with specially Electrical components. In my villa at AL-Waab all electrical components are very low quality. There is no quality checking in Qatar. one of my neighbor left the house, because of purely fear of fire. If anybody visit my house they can see by their naked eye how many plug points are burned. You have to have a good quality checking team in Baladiya before give final approval for human living.

What a sad incident.

RIP all those, who have given their innocent lifes.

Answers to be given how this happened, to avoid such a horrific indicent repeating itself again.

The tears of sorrows are being mortal, the feeling of grief and despair comes along with. Being human is the best part of life, and living your life is the culmination of your time.

But for the 13 young souls being redeemed so young in a tragic incident have been truly dismal. The grief of those parents by loosing someone so especial cannot be measure and it cut so deep in their heart. It was truly sad.

Word is not enough to express condolences and sympathy, But prayers will surely guide the little angels on their journey ahead. May you all rest in peace!

And to the families left behind, there is still life ahead. Be strong, sooner or later that sadness will eventually end but the memories will remain forever as it is the only thing you can hold that will never change in time.

My condolence to All those who lost their loved ones and we will not forget this loss "May Allah give patience to you all and give you strength to bear this loss"........... Ameen

about the cause of the fire?
Any outcome of an official investigation?
Are they still investigating or is it finished but no outcome?
