Read the elergy below:

‘If only I could have one last conversation, one last dance, one last hug, one last letter, just a little more memorable time with you. 5 years and still feels like yesterday. We love you but I’m positive God loves you more. Continue to sleep well Father. Ina Lilahi Wa Ina Ilehi Rajiun.’

She has been buried Saturday according to Muslim rites. She definitely didn't plan to meet her dad so soon.
