I feel extremely sad by this news.
During Wikimania, I attended the Learning Clinic : Networking for introverts.
We were sitting at the same table, next to one another. During the session, we naturally paired and told one another about who we were, what our journey had been so far, and shared our personal dreams, personal and for Wikimedia. Time was limited, but the session was targetted to get to know one another. And this is what we did. I remember us discussing the work on the leadership development plan recently published (and which I found awesome), but also food science, translations, travelling... We continued our discussion as the session was closing, beyond the session, exchanged our contacts, and expressed the wish to work together in the future. I am fairly sure I had already seen her, at another conference I suppose. But that Clinic was the first time I talked to Nada Kareem (she made me repeat Kareem several times till I get it right :)).
I felt connected to her. She could become a friend. I had not read her diff until today, but I now realize she mentionned my name in her report. So I guess the feeling of connection was likely reciprocal. My memory of her, from Wikimania, is a sunny personnality, friendly and warm person, clear-minded, smart, definitly smart.
I am deeply sorry Nada. Rest in Peace

This is sad, especially she wrote a thoughtful diff post a month prior about her struggle in going to Singapore in Wikimania, a prior before that.
