obituaries Alvin Sabah Shina Alvin Sabah Shina was born on October 11, 1988, the first child of his proud parents, Sabah and Nancy. He was very close with his family and relatives, and he loved to spend time and travel with them. In his middle school years, he was an award-winning soccer and hockey player. Alvin was a sophomore at West Bloomfield High School and was very skilled in computers. His future hopes included becoming a successful lawyer, marrying and having a large family. He unconditionally loved and cared for Shyne, his pit bull. One of his happiest moments was the baptism of his baby twin brother and sister. Alvin died suddenly the next day, January 7, 2005. He was only 16 years old. Alvin also spent countless hours with many friends from his school. Teachers and students alike mourned his death. The school designed a memory board and wrote messages to him. They also had a “Remembering Alvin” gathering where they shared stories and feelings about their beloved classmate. He was a very thoughtful, caring and giving person who would do anything to help someone in need. Alvin’s grandfather, Habib Shina, and his uncle, Zuhair Shina, preceded him in death. He is survived by his parents Sabah and Nancy; sisters Lavon, Alexia and Leanza; brother Christian; grandmother Jamila Shina and her children and their families — Zuhaira Shina, Hanna Shina, Izzat Shina, Sahira Tella, Suhama Seman and Thia Shina; grandfather and grandmother Salim and Samira Mansour (Kachkuocha) and their children and families — Jaklin Shina, Ziad Kachkuocha, Nermin Kachkuocha and Dalia Kachkuocha. The students at his school call him “an angel in disguise,” sent to silently protect the souls of those who remember him. The name Alvin means “loved by all,” and he truly was. The family would like to thank those who offered their condolences and support. May he rest in peace. Narmi Habbo Sitto Narmi Habbo Sitto was born December 1, 1907 in Telkaif, Iraq, and passed away on January 2, 2005 in Scottsdale, Arizona. She was known as “Nana” by her children, Marie, Margo, Najah, Sabah, Amir, Mouwaffak and Munther, and by her 18 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren. She kept her family together and close by her overwhelming love. Her heart and home were always open to all. Nana lived a good life and shared it with others. She is met in heaven by her husband, Namu, and oldest son, George. She was also predeceased by her two brothers, Yousif and Yagoub Habbo, and beloved sister Najiba Salmu. We remember all the happy times and Nana’s memory will live in our hearts. Gorguis Patrous Samona Gorguis Patrous Samona left us on December 3 2004, only 76 years old. He is survived by his loving wife, Jamila Samona, and nine children: Imad (wife Kifah), Khairi (wife Taghrid), Thair (wife Shiela), Bashar (wife Ibtisam), Mazin, Peter, John, Inam (husband Kelly Denha), and Luke (wife Dawn). He was the grandfather of 19 and counting. His only daughter, Inam, was thrilled that her father had a chance to see her firstborn Bridgette only two months old. Gorguis was married in 1950 and worked hard to bring his family to America in 1973. Seeing his family walk through the door put the biggest smile on his face. He grew the best watermelons in his garden and could not wait for his grandkids to come help him pick them. It would light up his face when his grandkids asked him to play cards since he was the best Kon-Kan player around. He did not know much English but he sure enjoyed watching “General Hospital.” His family would like to thank all those who share their sorrow. His memory will go on forever. We love you. Natiq Zora Natiq Zora passed away on January 11, 2005 at the age of 63. He was born in Telkeppe to the late Yosif and Victoria Zora. He immigrated to the United States in 1977, where he established a home and business with his wife, Florenca. Together they have five children: Bassam and his wife Nora, Alia and her husband Zahir Bahoora, and Ziyad, Andrea and Layth. Natiq’s seven grandchildren were the joy of his life and most of his time was spent loving and laughing with them. He was a father very proud of his children, always encouraging the best for them. Two brothers predeceased him, Akrem and Mekha. Surviving brothers are Zohair and Mohson in the United States and sisters Thriya, Bernadit and Wifia in Iraq. The family thanks all who shared in their sorrow and offered prayers. To them, Natiq is at peace with the Lord and forever in their hearts.
