Tributes
"David You & Your Entire Family have my heartfelt sorrow for the Death of Your Beloved Father Hakim. Revelation 21:4."
"I was elated that I was able to come over about a month and a half or two months before Jiddo died and work in his garden. I worked for hours in his garden and it was the best feeling I've ever had. I felt such an overwhelming joy that I was able to do this act of kindness for this incredible man. For 25 years of my life he had been doing the same powerful things for me. His heart was filled with such a strong LOVE that his convivial energy would dissiminate peace in a room. Thank you, You were always the GREATEST. Your grandson, Gabriel McCarthy "
