I never got the pleasure to meet you Yacob, but, I have known your brother Seife for over 4 years now and he has spoken of you often with fondness. I do know that your brother loved you with all of his heart. You will be truly missed. I can only hope to be there to comfort Seife. My heart aches for your family in this difficult time. You are in my thoughts and prayers each and every day. God bless.

My friend Dan, I am so sorryto hear
about your dear brother's passing.
My heart aches for your family in their sad time. Thomas Akempis wrote: "Short arm needs man...
to heaven reach,
so ready the angels
to scoop him up."
May the angels watch over all your
family, and especially over your brother Yacob.

To the family and friends of Yacob, my prayers are with you all. May God give you all the strength you need in this difficult time. I met Yacob years ago. He was very polite, down to earth and easy going. I remember his smile the most. God bless you Yacob, and may you rest in peace.

My heart is crushed to know that Jack is truely gone. I met Jack when he and Siefe first came to the U.S. I remember the fun times we had when we all lived together in the early 90's. I know that Jack was a dear person who just got hooked up in the wrong world. I will miss him and will always think of him. May he be at peace. Love,Kris
