JANAZAH ANNOUNCEMENT!!!

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.
(Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return.)

It is with great sadness that we announce that Sr. Kathey Al-Jallad passed away today after a long illness. She was an active member of our community and will always be remembered fondly by the children and youth as the librian at the Words of Wisdom library. She also helped in establishing the Cresent Academy and taught at the school for a number of years. We offer our condolences to her husband, Raed, and son, Ali. May Allah grant her the highest مقام in Jannah, envelop her in His mercy and give patience and strength to the family during this difficult time.
