In your loving memory! Gone From Sight But Not From Our Minds, You will Remain Forever In Our Hearts!

I am sorry about your loss. May God be with you during this time. Peace be with you always.

Gone From Sight -
A sailing ship raises its white sails and glides out onto the open waters. You see it get smaller and smaller and where the sea and sky meet it slowly disappears. Someone sadly remarks, It has gone. Cheers of jubilation sound across the ocean announcing, It has arrived. For Death is a horizon and a horizon is nothing more than the limits of our vision. When we mourn the transition of our loved ones. Others are happy to see them again on the other side of the horizon. 

The many years we have known each other were truly special. Our fun filled days with Mr. Hakki,the story behind Michael Jackson and other celebrities - oh, the stories we could tell! You will be missed at our dinners with L'Espirit de Corps where we solved all the global challenges. Your words were always poetry to my ears. Until we meet again Mohamed. Peace be your journey!

Good FRIENDS are hard to find, harder to leave, and impossible to forget, Mohamed one of them :-(

Mohamed was like a father to me, he help me out a lot, he was always there for me. He actually help me get my first car and taught me how to drive. He also taught me great things about life and how to deal with crisis. Mohamed is a real man and I will always remember him and share his great stories. Now he is in God's hand.

He has the most kind heart and peace with self I have ever seen in the US. May God bliss his soul. He will always be remembered as a decent, caring and humble journalist that has become rare in our life.

Mohamed was a kind, honorable, compassionate, loving, selfless, gentle, empathetic, generous family man who did all he could for his close friends and loved ones.  There are not enough kind words to describe him.  He never stopped giving and he always went out of his way for other people's happiness.  He loved spending time with his seven grand-babies. 
Mohamed (my father) was a kind and honorable man who was a compassionate, loving, selfless, most gentle, empathetic, and generous family man who did all he could for his close friends and loved ones. He always made himself available for anyone who needed help no matter what.  He was at all times joyful and smiling, especially when assisting and helping others. He was consistently there for family and friends when they needed him and never missed an opportunity to give his time, energy, and efforts to help those he loved.  There are merely not enough kind words to describe the most honorable gentle man I've ever known.  I'm truly blessed that he was chosen to be my dear fatherfor he was simply unique, one of a kind, and irreplaceable soul. 

While the past few days have been exhausting and the hardest days of our lives, we have had unbelievable outreach of friends and family from all over the world, it has been truly one of the greatest moments to talk to all who loved my father and cherished his warm heart.  All who reached out to us wrote how Daddy was one of their best friends and how wonderful he was.   He will be remembered by all of his friends and colleagues as the ultimate professional journalist, always prepared with thoughtful and serious questions, and above all, a kind man with great respect for others.  Mohamed (my father) will definitely be missed by all those who knew him.  


Thank you for your kindness and love for him, we will truly miss his smile and special laugh.  

My God bless his soul and help us keep his memory alive.
