The memorial service of 26-year-old air hostess Yara Hani Tawfik who
died on the EgyptAir MS804 flight was held yesterday, May 21 at St. Mary
and St Athanasius Church in Cairo.
The victim’s elderly grandmother Anna Yara collapsed at the service
and concerned friends and relatives rushed to her aid. One held the
grandmother face as she was overcome with grief. Nahla Wagih, a friend of Miss Tawfik, said: “It is so sad to see the
family in this state. There are no words to describe her loss. Yara was
the perfect daughter and grand-daughter. The family must be broken. I
don’t know what words of comfort to say to them”
Mrs Wagih, who worked with Miss Tawfik as a flight attendant on Egypt
Air, was one of hundreds of relatives, friends and colleagues who
attended the memorial, to which MailOnline was invited.
A large picture of Miss Tawfik was put up in the church between
cross of flowers during the 40-minute service. Afterwards, members of
her family stood in a line outside the orthodox church as mourners paid
their respects.
