Dear Parishioners of OLOP:
I received the sad news that Georgette Yamin passed away in Fall River, Massachusetts. I have included the details for her services in this email.
We extend our condolences to her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces and nephews, here and in Lebanon. May Almighty God welcome Georgette into His kingdom and may her soul rest in peace. Allah yerhamma.
