Karen, Omar and Nadia, our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. Allah saw Mohamed getting tired and a cure was not to be, so He put His arms around him and whispered, "Come with Me." With tearful eyes we watched him suffer and saw him fade away. Although we loved him dearly we could not make him stay. May he rest in peace. With all of our love and sympathy.

Dear Karen and family,
I am very sorry for your loss. Mohammed hired me so many years ago at the Franklin Park Coney Island in my first job. I appreciated his encouragement and confidence in me then and tried to emulate it with others throughout my working career. May his memory be eternal.
