To my dearest father. I am going to miss you so much...especially talking to you daily on the phone and hearing your voice and remembering your daily advice to me on how to take care of my husband Bradlee and my daughter Veronica. We shared so many times together, both happy and sad. During our long life together you made me feel so special all the time. You taught me how to be strong, responsible and independent and you were an example for me which helped me to be there for you in the hospital when you really needed me, to pray for you, and to help you cross over. You gave me so much courage and love which is what I draw on each day. I love you and your memory will be with me forever in my heart for the rest of my life. Love, Nadia

It is with greatest sympathy that we mourn the loss of my beloved father in law Issa. We have countless fond memories of the time spent together enjoying the sunshine and fun times in Florida and Boston. Issa was more than a father in law to me, I felt closer to him, more love and repect than my own father and I even used to call him Abu-Bradlee. He taught me so many Arabic words and phrases, and told me jokes that made me laugh. I used to always look forward to seeing him and talking to him on the phone. He loved the fetat hummous and feta with chicken and taught me how to make them so we could continue to enjoy the Arabic treats. We used to enjoy watching the Arabic movies together and laugh so loud. I learned from him to be generous, humble and kind to everyone and loving. The best news was to hear his experience with Pastor Khaled to receive Christ and establish his eternal destiny in April. Words fall short to express the extent of the feelings I hold for Issa.

My brother-in-law Issa loved life and lived it with joy and constant optimism. Now he left us to another life and left us with lots of precious memories. Nearly 48 years ago, he took me to the movies in Damascus, Syria. He loved the movies and tracked the actors, their roles and lives. At home, he kept a vast library of videos of most any old movies you can think of. Dear Issa; thanks for the good memories.

In Loving Memory of Issa Souri, may your family be blessed with warm thoughts of such a loving and caring person. He enjoyed everyone that came to visit. He opened his house, heart, and kitchen to celebrate the simple pleasures of life. I remember all the times he cooked a meal just because I came over for a casual visit. As soon as he received word I was stopping over. Issa would go to the market and come back to make the most delicious meals. He will always be loved and cherrished. Issa was, and still, is a pround husband and father who extended his love to others beyond his immediate family. He always considered me one of his daughters.
Issa will never be forgotten and always remember. His spirit lives on even in the Kingdom of God and heaven above.
God Bless!
Love,
Kimberly & Patrick Cipriano Jr.
