Our deepest sympathies to the Abraham family. We just learned of Mr. Abraham's passing this evening from Matt's mother, Patsy Yared Dodgson. His death is a major loss to the Grand Rapids community. May his memory be eternal.

I was so sorry to hear of Jim passing. I enjoyed the times out to dinner with Jim and Mary Ann. I am thankful for the times shared with him. I am sorry I couldn't make the funeral as just getting out of the hospital myself. May he rest in peace.

Dear Joyce, Mary, Jerry, and Ron,
My heart goes out to all of you on your beautiful Father's passing. I adored him, as so many did.

To The Abraham Family,
We are so sad to hear of Jim's home going, we will miss him. Jim has been a very dear and special friend since the 50's. We know Jim is with our Lord right now, we discussed that many times and he told me he had accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior. He was a wonderful family man and friend to many. What a beautiful example of a christian life. So sorry to miss his memorial but we are living in Fl and won't be in Mi until July. We look forward to...

In the 1950s and 60s when I was a resident of Grand Rapids and active in St George's Church, it was necessary to frequently call upon Jim for assistance... never once did he refuse or merely make token donations. He was generous to a fault and always helped. He was always giving, kind, willing and devoted to the welfare of the church and all the Lebanese community. His family can take solace in the fact he left a legacy of love and goodness that will live long in the memories of those who...

I wish I could be with all of you, this week to share in these moments. I was privileged to be able to call Uncle Jim, my friend. He was always fun to be with and will be missed by all of us. We are praying for God's perfect peace for all of you.
Much love
Ray, Kristin Abraham and our entire extended family.
