We, Raja Souki and family, would like to give all our friends in our great community in general and our ADS Community in specific our great thanks and appreciations for your kind support after Raja's accident. We were touched and moved by your warm words that we received from the majority of you by phone, fax, e-mail, mail, or by personal visits, which made us feel we were not alone. Raja had an accident at work which caused serious damages to his body and face, and required that he goes through several plastic and medical surgeries to repair his face and regain his eyesight. With God's blessing and the love and support of his family and friends, Raja is recovering very well and has re-gained his eyesight. God Bless You All,

Raja Souki and Family

We wanted to send this message to our friends and family who were with us in person or by phone to comfort us in our time of sorrow. Loosing a loved one, especially one's mother, is an extremely painful feeling. Our grief would be so much harder to handle without the kindness and support of friends like you. Your presence and kind words helped ease our pain. She will always be remembered with her kindness, love and care to us and the people who surrounded her. Thank you so much for your expressions of love and sympathy.
