Today, we gather not only to mourn Satina’s passing but to honor a life defined by quiet strength, boundless compassion, and an unwavering belief in others. For forty years, she walked among us as a mentor, partner, and guardian of hope.
 
 Satina’s gift was her ability to see the unseen: the spark in a struggling student, the fear in a young heart, or the yearning in someone at life’s crossroads. To me, she was both anchor and sail, grounding me in integrity during storms of doubt, yet urging me to chase horizons I feared were beyond reach. Her wisdom lives on in the countless lives she shaped—colleagues, students, friends—who now carry her quiet courage in their work, relationships, and acts of kindness.
 
 As we bid farewell, let us honor her by living her greatest lesson: that love grows stronger when shared. Let us see potential in strangers, offer kindness without expectation, and nurture the seeds of hope she planted in us all.
 
 To you, Satina—our teacher, compass, and friend—thank you. Thank you for showing us that the deepest love speaks in whispers, and that a life lived for others leaves a light that never fades. Rest now, knowing your work here was a masterpiece.
 
 You will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.
 
 With love and gratitude,
 Simon and Liyana
