Mourning your death is a somber and sad event
Is only a sad moment in a life full of joy and Peace

Socially ethically and Morally.
May Eternal Life be your’s in Christ Jesus

I’ve had the privilege of knowing George for many years He was an interesting and kind man. He was always smiling and ready to discuss books that he read. He loved his family and was always available to attend anyone of his grandchildren’s school function. My condolences to the Obagi and Fakhouri families. Wishing you peace during this difficult time and my prayers are with you all. Nouha, as your friend know that I am here for you should you need anything.
