Daddy, It’s been exactly two months since you went away, two months on this Father’s Day. Not a day has gone by that I haven’t called on you, talked to you, or asked for your help, I just wish I could hear your voice again. When I heard you calling .mama. and .Raymond., the last few days in the hospital, I knew that you wanted to go be with them, and so that night that we left mommy and I had to say goodbye, I don’t know if you heard us cry, or the prayers that we prayed, but we told you to go be with all those that passed before you that you loved and missed ever so much. Now it is you that is missed so very much. I have never shed so many tears or felt as empty as I do now that you are gone. I’ve spent the last two months basically living in denial that you are really gone, but now on Father’s Day I feel so alone-so empty. I miss you so much Daddy~I know you are now an angel watching over me, mommy and the girls…please protect them-especially mommy and help her through this-she misses you so much and it kills me inside to see how much she hurts. We will remember you in our prayers and I will honor you through my life’s actions..I am so proud to have had you as my Father~Your spirit will live on within me and the girls.I miss you Dearly Daddy~I hope you are at peace now, and without pain~ Happy Father’s Day
Daddy; I know all the tears we shed will not bring you back, but know that you are loved and missed each and every day. I promise to keep your spirit alive, and always remind Jasmyne of how much you loved her and what a great and loving man you were. Watch over your little girls (all three of us) and make sure to take care of mommy and make sure she gets through this…we will always remember you and your humor. Some day I will see you again-REST IN PEACE…I LOVE YOU AND WILL ALWAYS MISS YOU -Your little girl

Mrs. Ayoub, It was with much sadness that I heard the news of the passing of Dr. Ayoub. As a long time patient of the Doctor, he will always remain in my memory. His professional manner and compassion always inspired my faith in his judgements. He always made me feel at ease in the office, and when I left his office, I always had a better understanding of my medical conditions. He will always be remembered, Stanley Papa
To Carla, Mom, and all family – May you have strength and courage through this difficult time. My most sincere condolences. Love and Respects Eric

To Mrs. Ayoub and family: Sadly we read of the passing of Dr. Ayoub. He was my family doctor for many years until his retirement. It was difficult not having him to call on and I do so remember his kindness, good care and his great concern for my good health With many thanks for so many years of wonderful care.
To our Dearest Claire, Carla & Family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you on this very sad day. Our beloved Joe will remain for ever in our thoughts and our heart.
