I cannot stop crying. I met the Mansour family through my husband. The family knew little English and we knew very little Arabic, but somehow the bond surpassed all that. Samir would go smelt fishing with us loading the back of our truck with the bountiful amount of fish. Our families were together, always …fishing for various fish in different areas dinners at friends, Amal and Ali and their family. When the Western phase came in, I worked for Sam in his store. I loved going to the fairs, setting up to sell the Western hats and shirts. Knowing my husband was a workaholic, Sam took me to the races. I loved the outings. He loved his wife, Jamilla and would go on about her strong character and strong work ethic. He loved his son, Zach, making us aware of his pride. Oh, I can still remember the joy on his face when his daughter, Dima, was born. I only wish we could go back in time to those years. My sincerest sympathy to Jamilla, the love of his life, to Zak and Dima and to their families. I love you each and feel your pain.
