I went to school with Joseph, I happened to see Mr. Mansours name on Opyts as I drove through Hegewisch, an infrequent drive, as I do not normally spend much time in the old neighborhood I hold in my heart. I am so saddened to have learned upon my research that this was your father, why I cannot imagine that we have reached that episode of our lives, where we may lose our parents??? I send many prayers and condolences your way, to you and your family Joe. May god see you through this.

Mike....I miss you. It's so weird being in your home without you here. I wish I had more time with you. I wish I could hear one more story or one more laugh...your son reminds me so much of you and does such a great impression of you, I know you'd laugh and love it! I wish so many things....but, I thank God for the time we did have together and to get to know one another and I love you so much and hope you knew just how much!

In memory of the greatest dad I was lucky to call my own <3 Rest peacefully and rejoice with the Lord, for you are no longer suffering.

I miss your kisses...even though you kissed my cheek so hard they sometimes hurt <3

Dear Daddy,

I'll always remember when you would hug me so tight and kiss and bite my chubby cheeks. I'll always remember when we went as a family for Sunday brunch after church. I'll always remember when you used to take us to Henry Clay to play basketball- no matter how tired you were after working a long shift at work. I'll always remember when we would go to the beach, the park, or just drive around. I'll always remember when you started to struggle with your health and that terrified me at the thought of losing you, but you always stayed so strong and trusted in the Lord to heal you and give you strength. I'll always remember in those times, Mom and I would drive through Wolf Lake because you needed to go "for some fresh air" and feed the geese with bread or crackers. You used to love seeing the baby geese and say "ohhhh look at the babies! feed them, feed them, they're hungry!" I'll always remember your voice, your contagious laugh, your beautiful eyes, radiating smile, and your endless love for your family. I'll miss rubbing and kissing your head and playing the the tiny hairs that sprouted about :) I'll miss joking with you. I'll miss singing with you after dinner and you playing a beat on the kitchen table. I'll miss arguing with you about silly things because it showed me how much I was like you...always had to have the last word. I'll miss our rhyme time games in person and via text (I tried so hard to beat you, but you were always so quick with a comeback). I'll miss everything about you, Daddy. You were dedicated to mom and to Jacob, and to Joey, and to me (your Talula). I'll miss hearing your voicemail messages singing to me about how much you love me. Your "hellllloooo" I hear all of the time. I'll miss your daily verses sent by text early in the morning, so when I woke up, I'd start my day with the strength of the Lord in my heart and in my soul. You lived and breathed for the Lord and always gave thanks and praise to Him, and you always encouraged us to do the same. You truly did walk by faith and not by sight, practicing the works of the Lord by touching the lives of many and sharing your generous heart. I thank you for everything you did and will continue to do so because you will live in my heart for eternity. I will wait for your hugs and kisses when it is time to see you again. Visit me often, Daddy. Rejoice with the Lord and watch over me forever <3 I love you

May god rest amo majed soul in peace. He was full of jesus and he is in peace now. May the lord jesus comfort all his family with love and peace.

"Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him."-1 Thessalonians 4

You were a fighter, a survivor, but above all you were a true believer in God. Your strong faith carried you through thick and thin. You were a devoted family man, loving father, and a great uncle. To see you depart at such young age is devestating. Khalo May God bless your soul, and may your memory be eternal.

Khalo I love you so much. You will be greatly missed. I will miss hearing your voice talking for hours and hours. You were one of the most passionate and sincere person I have met. Your preaching for the Lord Jesus was efficient and perfect. You were weakened in sickness yet you had the heart of a lion. Your passion was felt among all around you and your presence will be missed by all. In your honor...rise and accept your inheritance for ye faithful..the kingdom of god. Amen in jesus name always. Rest in peace habibi.

My dear uncle,

All the memories I have of you are of the grandest. I will remember the inspiration you provided when it came to my education, pushing me and encouraging me to experience all that was out there. You were and always will be such a colorful character in our lives, through your family and through our memories of you. You have a beautiful wife and wonderful children to continue your legacy. May you rest in peace and be with the Lord.

Dad,
As much as it pains me to have you gone, I know you are at peace. I can feel your presence and I know that I will continue to make you proud as I live the rest of my life. I want you to know that Mom, Joe, and Olivia will always be taken care of; I will do whatever I need to make sure of that.

I miss you. I miss your voice. If there is any way you can call me, please do.

I love you! Rest in eternal peace.
