She immigrated to the U.S. with her children and husband (Shamasha) Manuel Bahry, who died in April 2004. They were both very religious and very active members of Mar Addai Church in Oak Park. Angel passed away on February 21, 2005 from a sudden heart attack while in the hospital, with her family present. Angel is survived by her four children, Maysoon, Mazin, Maha (Jaberu), and Manhal and their families; and her sister Mary Dabool and brother living in California Yousif Mansoor, and their families. She moved to Farmington Hills in April 2001 and lived with her daughter Maysoon and granddaughter Shahnaz. Angel was an extraordinary and beautiful woman who was the perfect mother, grandmother and great grandmother, as well as a sister and aunt. She will be truly missed. She was born an “Angel” and died an “Angel.” May she rest in peace. Waad Murad Waad Murad, 38, was shot as he left his business, Motor Car Company in Detroit, on March 15, 2005. He died the next day. Waad was born June 22, 1966. He was a founding member of the Chaldean American Chamber of Commerce. He lived in West Bloomfield. Waad’s smile brought happiness to many. His charm will be missed and his legacy will always be cherished and carried on through those he touched. Those who knew him always viewed him as a giving and considerate person. While his generosity was greatly appreciated, nothing can compare the ultimate gift that he was able to provide as he left us — “the gift of life”; as an organ donor, Waad was able to save two lives. Waad is survived by his wife Huda; his children Brandon, Brittany and Kevu (that is what his dad called him, short for Kevin); his father Salem and stepmother Najat; his brothers Bassam, Norman, and Joey; his sister Brenda; his stepsisters and their husbands Howada and Awney Jajawie and Hilda and Faiz Kas-Mikha; his sisters-inlaw Rasha, Lana and Nita; his grandmother Hayata Najor; his uncle and aunt Ameer and Hana Najor; his aunt Nadia Najor; his nephews and nieces Ashley, Antonio, Alexa, Gevino, Gabrianna and Kayla; his cousins Jason and Renee Najor, Christopher and Janice Shamoun, Jennifer Jeffrey, Heather, Vanessa, Amanda, Alexander Najor and Sebastian Sharrak. Waad will always be in our thoughts and prayers. We love and miss you. God bless and rest in peace 22 CHALDEAN NEWS APRIL 2005
