I did not know Isa personally, but I teach with his daughter, Susan. By knowing Susan and her dedication to family and children, it's clear that Isa was a wonderful father.

Muna and Michael Saba

May you all rise above the sorrow that you feel and hold on only to the beautiful memories. You have all been amazing children to your father and how comforting it must be for you to know that even in his last days, Amo Isa loved and was so proud of you all. Your strengh is inspirational!

I believe this quote was written just for your family.

"I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love." -Leo Buscaglia

On behalf of my family, our condolences and love to you all!

I keep trying to think of the just "right" thing to say, but there are no magic words to make loss feel any better. Thankfully, time and the love of family & friends helps tremendously. Umo Isa loved you guys so much and he is watching over you all now, loving and protecting you all more than ever. May his memory be eternal. I know I'll certainly never forget him. Love you all so very much.

Our faith is certainly tested at times like this. I know it is difficult to understand a loss like this, but we need to be mindful of the true blessing that HE was to YOU AND MANY OTHERS. That should give us the strength to continue on in faith knowing that he would want us to honor his memory in this way.

I pray that God's choicest blessings will be bestowed on you and your wonderful family. May God grant you the peace and strength to carry on in faith.

God Bless.
