I miss you more than I describe you have been so heavy on my heart lately. So has David but over the years I've lost contact with them. David if you are reading this look me up brother.

Happy Birthday,
Thank you for always being there for us no matter what. You were our rock, and J.J. was our soldier. You are both missed and loved very much.

Hey Dad its Theressa,
You woulda been so proud yesterday. me and dee spent a few hours catching up with David for the first time in so many years. he has grown up to be an incredible individual, and a man of his word.
he was telling me how much you love Georgia, so i found it kinda funny that i got a full scholarship to go play there. i loved it there deep inside and i didnt know why, and thats kinda what made me run away from the offer. i know that if you were there u woulda kicked my but for turning that down, n you woulda pushed me to my greatest potential, like i knw you did when i prayed to you before all those big soccer games, and you helped me play incredible!
me and deena have grown up so much, and all we ever wanted was to come back and get to know you, and although that cant happen anymore, we think of you all the time, and continue to love you unconditionally. we know you probably had something to do with sending David our way too, an incredible blessing, through which we can experience yourself in.
i love you so much dad. always have and always will

Hey Dad,
It has been a while since anyone has written anything for you here. I have been so busy with everything that I have neglected some of the more important things in life. However, one must make sacrifices in order to achieve high goals. To whom much is given, much is required.
Well, I always tell you about school, so why break the tradition now? I am down to seven classes left for my undergraduate degree. The time has really flown by without notice. I have learned so much along the way. The classes are getting really intense now, and they will not let up until I am completely done. Hopefully the next four years will pass as fast as the first four years. They say that education is meant to replace an empty mind with an open one. The more I learn, the more I realize how true this is for everyone. A true measure of a man's knowledge is his ability to realize how much he does not know. The more I learn, the more I realize that I do not know.
The promise I made to you that night in your bedroom upstairs has not been forgotten and has never been as persisted as now. I will succeed in my goals and keep my promise to you. I can do anything with you and JJ behind me; no matter the odds or the enemy. We are going to do it!
Love always,
Sabrina El-Hassan

Hey Baby,
I meant to write you yesterday and wish you a Happy Birthday but I didn't make it to the computer. Work was terrible. It is said that it is the biggest shopping day of the year and I believe it. It makes one hate shopping. People have totally took the meaning of Christmas away. Anyway I know you know I was thinking of you and you was in my heart. Happy Birthday

Dad,
Well, it is almost over. I am down to one more year before Med School and I have never been as ready. We have made it this far and I do not intend on giving up now. We have made it through some rough and controversial times, but we made it. Soon enough I will begin my medical studies at whatever school will accept me. We are almost there, Dad. Please continue to be my guiding light and my inspiration to do the best. I am going to make you proud, Dad, just like I promised you. I love you.

My beloved Father,
I miss you so much! I miss everything about you, Dad. I miss your wisdom, your strength, your gentle heart, and your bold character. I am sure that no other man has exhibited such characteristics in perfect balance since your Father, my Sedo. Just as you learned from him, I learned from you.
The rumor is true! We had a great time in Georgia with the crew out there. Every last one of them were amazingly pleasant and hospitable. It was just like you told me: beautiful and relaxing. For one day I was able to let go of all stresses and obligations back in Jacksonville. Most importantly, however, I felt YOU there! I took a minute to myself in Uncle Joe's backyard and connected with you. I raised my arms to my sides tilted my head back and closed my eyes. As I took a deep breath in and out, I listened to the Georgia wind blowing back and forth between the trees. Wtih my eyes still closed I could almost feel you wrapping your loving arms around my ribs (because you couldn't reach much higher:)) and firmly embracing me again. I was saddened to realize that when I opened my eyes you were not there. However, I was overjoyed to know that I can go there, to that very same spot in Uncle Joe's back yard, and be one with you again spiritually.
Since you have left, the world has become more and more violent and tragedy-stricken. All of the recent events lend such credibility to the fact that God takes the good at a young age. You and my brother JJ were too good-hearted for this world and God called you both home. Now you both serve as my guardian angels helping me to keep my dream alive. I love you guys.
David
PS School is still going great!! I could not be doing better, unless you can make higher than A's! It's getting all the more real now that I am shadowing real surgeons!

Hey Baby,
I remember you telling me that you loved it when I called you that:).I hope you was watching that day we went fishing. It was great I don't think I have smiled as much in a long time. I'm only sorry you wasn't there to enjoy the day we had. But I know you was smiling too and I know you are so proud of your family and especially David. He really is great Jim. They will always be welcome here anytime they want to come. Your family is mine. I love you Sheila and tell mom and David I love them too and I said hi. I love you always and forever Jim

Uncle Jim,
Man I miss you more an more each day. I just want to tell you how much fun we all had in Georgia. Now I know why you loved it out there. It's so peaceful and the people there are so nice, they make you feel right at home. We saw everything. We saw the deer horns you cut off a deer, the lake you fished in, and the bed you slept in. Donna and Joe made me feel right at home. They really showed us a good time. It's very hard not to love them, now I know why you loved them so much, because I love them just as much. I can't wait until the next time we go out there. David and I FINALLY spent some time together. We went fishing together and man let me tell you about David, I think we need to teach him how to fish:) He did good after about an hour(David if you read this I love ya buddy). Him and I had fun together we just wish you were there to share the fun. Well I have to go to work now and make some $$$(you know what I mean:) Love Uncle Jimbo

Dad, sorry it's been so long since I have written you. I have been a busy man lately. I know you already know this, but I graduated from FCCJ this December and I am now attending the University of North Florida. I am one step closer to accomplishing our dream and keeping my promise. I could not be doing any better in the courses, as I currently hold the highest grade in two of my classes. I know you and JJ are with me everyday as I do this, and I could not do it without you guys. I love you guys so much and miss you two even more. It won't be long now until I am off to med school to accomplish our dream.

Dad, not a day goes by that I do not miss and think about you. I pray to God that you and my brother are okay in heaven, which I know you are. One day we will be re-united in the land of the Lord. Until then, I will miss you forever and maintain the family name you have left for me. I will keep my promise to graduate one day and make you proud. I love you, Dad.
P.S. Tell J.J. I said what's up..

Uncle Jim, I know you feel my pain and see how I wish everyday for that ONE wish to come true. But I guess that sometimes life is like a broken wing bird; it cannot fly. I know that I can come to you for anything and uncle Jim this is what I'm asking you for, just that ONE wish. I know you hear my prayers and you try your best to come through for me. You always have and you always will. Give J.J. a huge hug for me. I love you.(Good luck David)

Dad, I miss you more and more everyday. I miss seeing your smile the most, I believe. You are truly the reason I get up every morning and fight against the odds. You are my raging will to succeed, yet also my patience and tranquility for wisdom. I will try my best to succeed and become nothing short of what I promised you, and more. I can't wait until I graduate, yet I'm also enjoying every minute of it along the way. The true way to succeed in this world is through education, one of the only things no one can take from you. No matter the battle, no enemy can strip you of this weapon. I love you and my brother with all of my heart and miss you both dearly. Talk to you soon. (Wish me luck on my Chemistry exam tonight):)

Uncle Jalal,
Sorry it took me so long to write back, I've been doing what you always taught me to do. Besides work, school is okay, I don't look forward to going everyday but I gotta do what I gotta do. You of all people know what im talkin about. You've givien me the courage to be all that I can, thats why I trying my best. I still have no idea what I want to do after high school, hopefully you can help me and guide me on what you think is best for me. I wish you were still here physically to tell me more stories about all you've been through and teach me more about life. As long as your still in heart emotionally thats all that matters. Well tomorrow is Saturday and I have to wake up for work. If there's one thing that I learned from you it was to be a hard working, independent woman. I love you and J.J.

Uncle Jalal,
Remember the time me and you went with Eassa to get wings on New Years eve? Well me and Eassa were just reminiscing about what a time we had with you. Unfortunately that was my last time wih you. Theres not a day that goes by that we dont think about you and the time we had with you that night. You had such a long talk with us about how important family was to you and how we should charish it. Your voice still remains in my head, at school, at work, an even at home when im just sitting around. Every day when I walk into our kitchen I take a minute or two and just look at pictures on the wall, and right next to yours is a picture of David. Soon it will be Dr. El-Hassan, yep, I know your so proud of him we all are. He will become that wonderful doctor he promised you he would be, in just a few short years. Don't worry we will take VERY good care of him and soon enough he will be taking care of us with all our aches n pains.
I LOVE YOU with all my heart.
David Hassan
August 20, 2004
Dad, you are obviously still very missed. I have two voicemails from you on my answering machine that I still listen to about everyday. Just hearing your voice reminds me how real my promise to you is and that it is still alive. I wish you and my brother were still here with us. I show everyone at work pictures of you and J.J. and they all realize how much you two are missed. I would do anything to have you two back. Dad, trust me, I will never let your presence die away, nor my brother's. You two will live on forever through the stories we all tell to our children and they tell to their children. We will keep you alive in our hearts and minds everyday until we meet again. Thank you for everything you have ever done for me and all of the sacrifices you ever made for me. I learned so much from you, yet I know it was only the tip of the iceberg in terms of the knowledge you could have poured into me. I don't think anyone could live long enough to learn everything there is to learn from you. If you can somehow read or hear this message, please know that I love you with all of my heart and will not let you down, no matter the odds or the enemy.

Uncle Jalal,
If only you new how much your missed. Im sorry it took so long for me to write to you. Uncle Jalal I didn't see you everyday but, the days that I did see you were one of the best. On New Years eve you were at my house that night and you told me that family sticks together through THICK N THIN, that you were the backbone of your family. You told me to always stay strong no matter how weak the family got, and Uncle Jalal i made you that promise, to always stay strong, from now an until i see you again i will keep that promise. You have always been the uncle that i looked up to the most, not only because your my uncle but, because your the one that always taught me a lesson about life. You taught me not to take anything fron anyone and if i wanted something done to do it myself. Day by day i think about the long talks we used to have and the laughs we used to laugh. Even though your not here physically you will always be in my heart emotionally. Today is J.J's 22nd birthday wish him Happy Birthday for me, tell him i love him and miss him dearly. I LOVE YOU AND WILL SEE YOU ONE SWEET DAY...

My Father, I miss you dearly. You have occupied my mind constantly every day since your passing. Not a day goes by in which I don't think about you and J.J. You are both missed by many people. I want so bad for the both of you to be back in my life, physically, rather than in spirit. Yet, I will take what I can get. I have lived for the promise I made you since the day I promised you, and especially after your passing. Subsequently, I will be awarded my first degree in December and will then be on to complete my Bachelor's Degree. I have only two short years left until Medical School. I can't wait to make you proud and keep my promise!! I love you so much Dad!

My dearest Father, you are missed more and more everyday. It feels like just yesterday I was at your house talking about the good times. I also remember clearly the ride to pick you up from Georgia, and more importantly, the ride back to Jacksonville with you. We shared some great times together and I assure you they will never be forgotten. The promise I made to you is my inspiration to get up out of bed every morning and persevere through all of my obstacles. I hope you are taking care of J.J. as if he was the small baby you once held in your hands; and also respecting him for the man he became. I have learned a lot from the both of you and you miss you both dearly. One day, we will be reunited.

Dearest Father above, you are missed dearly. As you watch over us all with J.J. by your side, your presence will remain immortal in my heart. You two have guided me through yet another semester with the best grades attainable. One semester closer to GRADUATION! Everytime I push my pen while completing my schoolwork, I think of the promise I made to you. THERE WILL BE NO OBSTACLE WHICH WILL STOP ME. Thank you for everything you have poured into my heart and mind. As I continue to grow, I will uphold your name and memory and attempt to be half the man you were. Your body may have passed away, yet your soul and legend light the way for those you have left behind.
April 15, 2004
I miss you so much, you were always there when I needed someone to talk to and you always gave me good advice, I need that now. I know you are watching over everyone so please help guide the way.

My dearest Father, I patiently await our reunion every day. You are with me spiritually, yet nothing can compare to your physical presence and influence. You have left behind a true son who will honor and cherish your memory forever until my dying day. Though struggles and obstacles have come my way, I have presevered through it all to continue my voyage toward my ultimate goal. Though I am going through times of controversy and turmoil, I know my true and pure-hearted character will prevail!

Hey Dad,
I guess I don't need to tell you how much I miss you. Your passing has hurt us all. There were so many words spoken that I wish weren't and there are words that were not spoken that I wish were. Right now I am consumed with a lot of hurt, grief and confusion. I don't know why you and J.J. were taken from us. I know life will never be the same. I miss watching the sunday football games and eating pizza with you. I miss the long talks with J.J. It is the small things that you take for granted that you miss the most when they are gone. If there was one thing you always asked of me it was to take care of my Mom. I promised you then and I still promise you know. I will take the best care of Mom till it is my turn to join you and J.J. in heaven. Dad, I love you with all of my heart. Please take care of J.J. for me. Let him know how much I love and miss him. Please watch over our family and especially keep a close eye on our little ones. They are growing so fast. I love you Dad!!

Father, you are missed sincerely. However, rest assured that your memory in the minds and hearts of your family shall be eternal. It is times like these when one can reflect upon the times true family supports and assists with no questions asked and no hesitation; no matter the odds or the enemy. I could not ask for better Uncles and Aunts than what you left behind for me in your Brothers and Sisters. They have each poured an unmeasurable amount of love and support into me in their individual manners. It is when I look at your Brothers and Sisters, my Aunts and Uncles, and even their children, my cousins, that I realize the importance of maintaining the respect and honor of our last name. Father, know that your grandchildren from your youngest son will know who their Grandfather was and what he was all about: RESPECT. Please take care of my brother J.J. in heaven and make sure to hug him for me while the two of you work on his dream car; that Chevrolet made in 1957. May the two of you bond in ways unimaginable to human beings as you two bask in the glory of the Lord in Heaven. Thank you for everything, Dad. I love you and miss you with all of my mind, body, heart, and soul. Please continue to with me everyday, giving me strength to overcome any obstacles I may incur until the time I join you guys in Heaven. I love you all.
I'll Always Love You

Hello Dad, you are very missed. I hope you and J.J. are enjoying yourselves in Heaven. One day, we will all be together again in the land of the Lord, our true home. Until then, I will continue to keep my studies up and work as hard as I can in order to keep my promise to you. With the help of you two upstairs, and everyone I love here, I will surely make it to graduation day, no matter what. I miss you and love you dearly, my Father.
P.S. It looks like you still had a Happy Valentine's Day :)

My dearest Father, you are missed more and more every day. Every minute spent studying is also spent thinking of you and how proud I am going to make you when all of this schoolwork pays off BIG! Your two brothers have been more loving and supportive than I could ever ask from them. I think they are more anxious about me graduating than I am. However, the three of us know that my goal will take time, and that it is well worth every minute. I hope you are enjoying watching all of the incredible work being done to my car. It is so generous for my loving family to set it all up for me and not have to pay a dime. That is real family! School is going very well as I am sure you know. I continue to excel in my classes making the highest grade in the class on my Anatomy test and the second highest grade on my first speech. I know you are with me every second of the way in EVERYTHING I do. Please continue to be with me, because without you and JJ in my heart, I am nothing at all. I love you Dad.

Hey Dad, I miss you more and more everyday. We are all still trying to cope with your loss and stay as strong and encouraged as possible. I think of you and the promise I made to you with every stroke of my pen at work and especially at school. Everyone has been real supportive and loving towards me. This is a time when real and true family and friends come together. Thank you for all of the wisdom, patience, and knowledge you have so lovingly instilled in me over the duration of your life. May your memory be eternal.
P.S. give J.J. a big hug for me!

To the entire family of Jalal Sabri El-Hassan Sr..There are not enough words to express how deeply saddened I am by your loss of a dear father, brother, uncle, cousin and friend to many. I first met Jim back when he and my sister first got married, many many years ago, at that time he truly struggled with his English, but we always managed to communicate with each other and laugh as well as cry together over the years. I will never forget the time when he a Chris lived with my husband and I during her pregnancy with Jeannie. It was as if he was a true brother and not just a brother-in-law. I felt and still feel the upmost respect for the memory of Jim and for his family, you are all very dear to me.
Facing another loss in the family so soon after JJ Jr's death has been so devastating to everyone. Just take some comfort in the fact that they are now together forever with their heavenly father!
With deepest sympathy and love.

Uncle Jalal there are no words to describe the empty feeling I have inside. I was just with you days before this happened. I feel like my time with you wasn't enough. You are such an amazing, caring and humle person. You were always joking around to make us laugh, and you always made sure that we knew we could come to you for anything. You were a strong man, with a soft heart. We all miss you so much and love you with all our hearts. In a way I am at ease knowning that you are with J.J. You told me that when he died a part of you died with him. I guess the Lord knew your pain and thought that you should be reunited with him as soon as possible. Uncle Jim I promise you that we will take care of David and he will become the doctor you always dreamed of him being. My mom can't sleep at night because of your passing. She wishes that she had one more day with you. I told her soon enough we will all be together. We will not mourn your death, we will rejoice your life!! The last night you were at my house you left your hat. It's on our fire place where you left it, and it will stay there forever. Our memories of you are in our hearts FOREVER. We love you always and miss you so much.

Sabrina: Like I told you last night I am SO SORRY you and your family have to go through this, especially so soon after JJ's passing. I regret I never got to meet your dad, but for what you've described he must have been quite a person. Take comfort in the fact you will carry his legacy on forever. Our loved ones are forgotten only if we allow them to be. Keep the memory alive, and your dad will always be with you. God bless you and your family during this trying time.
