If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not selfseeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.3 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 18 CHALDEAN NEWS FEBRUARY 2018
obituaries Jennifer Yatuoma Yousif was born on March 2nd, 1984, the third girl in the family that would eventually welcome two more girls and a boy. She was a happy, spontaneous child. As a teen, Jen was Miss Popular, a straight-A student and All-Star athlete, most notably as the point guard of her high school basketball team. As an adult, Jennifer was a real go-getter and successful businesswoman. At 23, she was diagnosed with a rare case of ovarian cancer. Though confused and uncertain, she believed in miracles, she believed in God, and she would fight this to the end. She married Johnnie Yousif on August 19, 2016. He loved her even after knowing all the battles she was facing. Jennifer and her parents and siblings had an unimaginable bond that will never be broken. She has 3 nieces and 7 nephews that she loved to spoil, and all who loved their Auntie Jen. She also had special relationships with her father-in-law and four sisters-in-law. On January 16, 2018, Heaven gained another angel. She was only 33 years old. Jennifer is survived by her parents, Talal and Manahil Yatuoma; her husband Johnnie Yousif; her sisters Karen Kasmikha (Norman), Kristine Toma (Brian), Janie Gasso (Brandon), and Stephanie Johns (Ryan); her brother Joseph Yatuoma; and several nieces and nephews. She is predeceased in death by her mother-in-law Nazik Ketty Sanati, and is survived also by her fatherin-law Yousif Sanati and her sistersin-law, Jennifer, Sylvia, Michelle, and Nicole. May she rest in peace. Subscribe today!
