Dearest Aunt Mariam, Leila, Danny, Mike and Johnny, My sincerest condolences on your loss. While Uncle Phil has left us, he has likely found himself in excellent company in heaven where he continues to watch out for us all. Much love, Salma xo
Dear Mrs Abboud, Danny, Leila, Johnny and Mike, We would like to send you our condolences for your loss. I am very happy to have had the opportunity to spend some time with your family over the years and to have gotten to know your husband and dad. A particular birthday celebration does come to mind, and will remember that day with a smile. I know he will be missed dearly. Sending you all much love and our sympathies.
Uncle Phillip, I didn't know you too well, but I really enjoyed meeting you that time the whole family went to London for Leila's wedding. I will also never forget that time we were at Uncle Joseph's, and you and Aunt Mariam gave me that bag of candy. I am so happy that you are with all of your brothers and sisters again. I know that you welcomed Uncle Joe to Heaven with open arms, and you two are having fun up there. The entire Miri/Assaad/Abboud family will miss you greatly.
