To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I can't explain how shocked I was to discover that Issa had died. I am so sorry for you, Teri, and all the kids. What a great loss! Issa was such a good man and a wonderful human being. He loved his family so very much. He will be greatly missed. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. God bless!

My prayers are with your entire family. I have been a customer at your store for 15 years and have known Issa to always be so kind, always smiling, and just an all out nice guy. He was a big part of your store and he will be greatly missed. May GOD Bless the entire Gharibeh family and be with all of you through this tragedy.

So sorry for your loss. I didn't know Issa too well but it just won't be the same going into the store and not having him ask me how my son is doing, asking me if he's alright and telling me to tell him to come by. He always seemed so sincere and caring in knowing how Pete was. I will also miss seeing Pete on Issa black motorcycle. Pete really liked riding it and it was great that Issa would let him borrow it. Just shows what a great guy Issa was. He will truely be missed. The liquor store just won't be the same to us without him. Please accept our condolences from the entire Gonzales family, Pete, Colleen, Pete Jr & Kim.
