Raymond Ghandour

Cathy, Lizzie and Alex

No words can express my sadness over Raymond's passing... I am sad I lost a wonderful cousin and friend and even sadder for the three of you, as well as for his parents, siblings, nieces and nephews who are all so dear to me.

Stay strong and remember we will all meet again when our time on earth is up!

Love Nadia, Mario, Lucian and Vita Simoni

Raymond my friend departed from this earth but he never truly left, for he is still alive in our hearts and minds, through us his family and friends, he live on. May his soul rest in peace.
My deepest condolences to Cathy, Lizzie, Alex, Zarouhie, Abed, Awad, Odette, Jackie and the Ghandour family.

Dear Cathy Ghandour, Elizabeth and Alexandra; and Khalo Abed and Tante Zarouhie and to all my cousins:

Grief and sorrow can be so hard but our special memories of Raymond and his laughter help us cope. We love you and pray for God's peace and comfort during this extremely difficult time. Our hearts and prayers go out to you and may God bless you all.

A smile happens in a flash, but its memory can last a lifetime.

Raymond had a wonderful smile. Although his wouldn't happen in a flash. It would, like a flash of a camera, light up a room in an instant. This is a memory, engraved in my mind forever and I know that he touched all of our lives in one way or another.

God bless you and your lovely family.

When the time is right, we'll be laughing again. Together.

Dear Ghandour Family,

Please accept my sincere condolences and deepest sympathies.

May God grant you with the support and strength to cope with this devastating loss of Raymond.

May his soul rest in peace. Amen.

Words fail to express the sadness & void left in our hearts in the passing of our beautiful, dear friend, Raymond..... it's been over a week and I can't stop perusing the beautiful memories left in photographs....

Raymond put up a valiant fight, often hiding the pain & discomfort he was going through while we visited... His body ultimately, succumbed to the battle that is Cancer.

His body may have been laid to rest but his Soul, his Soul is amongst us. He's in the hearts of every person he came in contact with. It is that kind of impact Raymond had... Loved by the masses for his high intellect, his razor sharp wit, his forthright, candid, outspoken ways... his laugh...oh his laugh...but above all, his commitment, dedication and devoted love towards his family & friends.

If you were fortunate enough to be Raymond's friend, you were considered family.

His body may be laid to rest but he will forever be amongst us.

Thank you for choosing me as a friend and treating me like family. You are one of a kind, my friend.

I know you'll be at the Gates welcoming me in time... until then...I'm certain you're watching over all your loved ones.

Loved you since the day I met you and I made sure you knew it!

Rest in Peace my friend.

with the utmost respect, admiration and love towards you forever... your friend & adopted family member.

We were so very saddened and devastated by the passing of Raymond. We hardly know what to say. Raymond was a dear friend. We will miss him very much. Three weeks ago, when we last saw him, despite his pain he managed to smile, laugh and act like nothing was wrong! We were hoping to see him smiling and laughing again on our next trip.
