We miss you dad. Many people came to church today to celebrate your first year anniversary. However your alive in our hearts.

Love you,

Your son Sameer Sirhed

Love you dad my father whom been there for me

Dear Dad,

It's been almost 1 year anniversary for you this September 11th, 2016.  I really miss you.  I miss our conversations in length over the phone and in person.  Sometimes I wish I was there to have made a difference in your condition, by discovering it sooner.  I learned from my brother its hard to know, which made me at ease.

I do love you, still love you and you are in my heart.  I remember telling you I wanted you to live much longer, and in your wisdom you said, what for?  I have accomplished my job in God's eyes, gave you (me) all the wisdom I have, nothing left on this earth for me except waiting for the Lord to get me to be with my mother(my grandmother Najla).  I was scared of that, you taught me that death is an exit from this world to the Lord's heaven.  Everything God created has a purpose and an exit out.  Only God knows when to give an exit, keep the Lord first, ask yourself, would Jesus approve of what I am doing?  Should he knock on my door?

You gave me all the tools of life that can give. We talked about your life in detail. What you told me was like the most deepest things, no one probably knows except me.  You were sound when you spoke them the last few years.  Even your predictions based on your knowledge were true in someway.  I know you tried to raise us best you can without a mother, and no one can fill that void.  The world and yourself taught us to be strong. You repeatedly gave me your blessings over the phone.  You even told me, that you don't know what I am doing since your not here, but God knows.  Never put God on the shelve.  He isn't someone you use when you need to and when you don't you forget him.  He will provide when he wants at his own time.  You had an answer for everything, giving me many examples that were true, I don't think of them in life daily, you seem to have them in mind and used them as an example. You had a pure heart to everyone around you, to me, Nada, Rami and the rest of the family.  Even the ones that hurt you, to be better than them as you always said.  We live among people, like us..treat them the way they we wanted to be treated, not an eye for an eye.

You loved relatives, your family brothers and sisters and did good by them.  I miss you, and love you. Now we need to take care of ourselves and be a close family and may your wisdom and words keep reminding me on how to carry on life in the fear of God the Lord all mighty.  And to pray, ask, and he shall give at his own time his way and what I need not what I want. 

I love you, may this weekend be a remembrance for your 1st year anniversary.

Love,

Your son, Sameer

EMIL WAS A DEAR BROTHER IN CHRIST. A MAN OF GOD. HE IS HOME WITH JESUS. WILL BE MISSED DEARLY. GOD BLESS HIS WIFE, NEDA, WITH HIS PEACE AND COMFORT. OUR DEEPEST TO THE FAMILY.

Uncle Emil,

I felt very sad when my dad told me that you weren't with us anymore. I was very sorry, but I'll always remember you as the lovely uncle you were. I know you are reading this wherever you are, and you have to know that my parents and I will always remember your kindness and your sense of humor.

I met you in 1993 when you came in Barcelona. I was 7 years old and I didn't speak english, but you seemed a cool uncle, I can remember once that you tried to catch a cat because you knew taht I loved cats! The next time you came in Barcelona was in 2002, then I already spoke english and I could talk to you and to auntie Nada and I realized what a good person you were and how much you loved us. We'll always remember you shouting "Tarragona Tarragona...!!!" in the  the street in the middle of the night and how much we laughed.
After this, you visited us in 2008, 2012 and 2014. In this last visit I remember you and Nada very happy to see my brother's wedding. I often watch the photos of this day and I can't take my smile watching you and auntie Nada in the pictures, for my brother was very important your presence, specially because we knew about your knee's problems.

For this moments and many more I'll remember you, you will be always in our hearts. I pray for you, for your soul and for auntie Nada, Sameer and Rami. They will miss you, but they are strong and I know that you'll always be there with them and with all of us.

Your nephew,
Elias

En tu memoria querido Emil. 
Te queremos.

Dear Dad,

I know your in a better place now.  I sometimes wish I spent more time with you.  However, I am content I had your blessings as we spent numerous amount of time together visiting and on the phone.  I now have have to make my own decisions as I did before, but learning from your proverbs.  God is everywhere and in my heart.  You are still in my heart forever.  It's hard to bear your loss to me and our family.  You were my example to life in general.  You did your best to bring me up as a man, being content with what I have.  You taught me a lot, pride vs. proud, keeping my head up in public and in my heart ad God sees the heart.  I learned so much from you, and I am you in many ways.  I turned out to be like you, which is the best thing that happened to me.  You are a wise father, loving, carrying about me and my brother, and mom.  I won't forget the great memories and your stories of your success in life and being an example to others.  Truly, you are wise. You are my hero as i said before.  You loved your brothers and sisters regardless of any circumstances.  And you were loving to your mother and father as I saw that growing up.  Your friends respect you, the community as well.  You made best friends from work, from mom's family, Nada.  My brother Rami and I are the men of the house now.  Keeping watch on mom Nada.  We will follow in the footsteps of Jesus our lord as you taught us.

We love you and never forget you ever.  You are in our hearts forever.  God wanted you sooner.  You told me death is even an exit.  A man's world is full of suffering, and a small part of his life is joy.  And you had nothing to offer at your age, since you gave us all your wisdom and advice and up to us to take it.  In many ways, I have followed that and came to my own conclusions, which is what you wanted me to choose.  I can't be more thankful to God that you been the father I had.  I am successful in my life from God first in heaven, second from you and the world that taught me a lot.  Yes, perhaps i realized it at a later age, but it was never too late as you told me no matter what age I become.

I won't forget you, I know you are watching over us in a way...your spirit is around me.  I do miss you a lot.  I can't explain how much I miss you. God wanted you sooner, his will shall be done.

Your loving son,

Sameer Sirhed

Querido Emil siempre me acordaré de ti y espero que estes en el cielo en compañía de Jesús y de todas nuestros familiares difuntos. 
Requiescas in pace.

Dear dad,

I couldn't bring myself into putting anything on your obituary because there isn't enough words to describe your goodness to other people, friends and family.  I know you are a God fearing man.  You taught me a lot, we talked a lot, we spent more time chatting about wisdom, God's will and to even accept death as an exit.  I did and I know you are proud of me as your son Sameer.  I know so much about life and how to be a man, a man's man.  You are one, and still one and you are my hero dad.  I can write a book about us, but I'd rather leave it in my heart.  Yes, it hurts to see you depart this earth, but you are in a good place now.  You've always said, a man spends most of his life since birth in pain, and less joy.  You are right, we are visitors on this earth.  For a fact you were good to your parents, loved your family myself, Rami and Nada your wife.  You also kept the peace within your brothers and sisters.

I want to say this in memory of you, you will always be my father, irreplaceable.  You had many sons and daughters you have adopted and grandchildren of relatives and friends...I am sure they know whom they are as they read this.

You were and still alive in my heart and mind, God loves you and you followed his ways to best you can and taught me that, always love...God is about love.

I remember this once you told me while working in maintenance you passed by a tree of figs, you had a craving, you ate one fig, realized it's roots were coming out of neighbor's yard, you told me it was steeling, your heart kept blaming you.  Then you knocked on the door and asked the house owner if you can have some figs since they are falling on the street and he gave you permission.  You told me this is how a person has to be in front of himself and God.  God is watching.  And many examples like this that sets you to be an example to others.

I, we your family love you forever.  Thank you father (dad) for raising me to be a man that I am and to have dignity, respect and in your honor and God's will, I shall always try to follow you as an example, a hero in life.

I love you baba...my father.  
Your son Sameer Sirhed

Mi familia y yo nos ha dolido muchísimo que nos hayas dejado tan pronto. Siempre te hemos querido con todo nuestro amor. 
Hoy día si yo soy lo que soy con familia y estudios universitarios, era en parte gracias a ti. 
A parte de ser mi hermano, eras mi mejor amigo y consejero. 
Se que estas con mamá y papá y con Alfred en la Luz eterna y que de Ella esperamos misericordia y salvación a lo largo de nuestra vida. 
Querido hermano siempre estás en mi corazón.

Pauline & I were shocked when we got the news. We remember uncle Emil last year at our wedding, we were so happy that he joined us with auntie Nada! It has been difficult for us to receive this sad moment being so far away. We pray for auntie Nada, sameer and rami and all the family. Our thoughts and our hearts are with you. Uncle Emil, we miss you and you will always be in our hearts forever. May God bless your soul dear uncle.

We are torn between two emotions with the passing of our Friend, Emil--1) The deep sense of loss that WE feel by having him taken so suddenly, before we were done enjoying his company; and, 2) The unbridled joy we realize he is experiencing by being in the presence of his Creator, Lord and Savior.
Emil was, on one hand, a very erudite & articulate gentlemen--proud of his heritage and Family; a upstanding Husband & Father, exemplary neighbor and loyal Friend.  He was a colorful story-teller, a witty humorist, a sensitive care-giver and a proud citizen and traveller of the world.  We pray for his wife, Nada, and his entire extended family....for the loss we all feel and share.
Emil got a slight head-start on our up-coming heavenly journey and know he is organizing the host of angels for a grand homecoming welcoming when our time arrives.
May God richly bless all those you've touched, while here, on earth with us, Emil.  Thank you for being such a memorable Friend.  Your memory will reside in our hearts and minds forever.
Kaye & David Cartnal
