Tributes
Leave a tributeIt’s so hard to believe that it’s been 7 years since you made your transition. I have felt your presence on a regular basis. You have protected me, guided me, provided for me and embraced me through everything. While I miss your physical being, I know you are with me always. I know that you have brought people into my life and I know you have brought opportunities to me, and you have kept certain things away. You protected me along with many other heavenly hosts during my recent surgery. I am 100% certain of your grace. Thank you! Thank You! Thank You! I Love You Very Much!
Trish and I are so grateful and honored to have you as our Mother. Today you have 99 years of wisdom and grace! We thank you for your presence with us always, your protection, your guidance and your never ending Love and Goodness. We Thank You for your Contribution to this World and our Culture.
Love, Light and Gratitude!
Your light is with us forever
I spent last Sunday with beloved Toni and Trish and felt your presence of love and peace.
Blessings
Donna
I Love You and Thank You for Giving Me Life!
RIP #RohoShinda
Roho would be 97 today.
I think you know the 1 1/2 years you liveed with me in Las Vegas were the most memorial in my life. Talking politics, family, sharing stories about Papa, and other invaluable information you only get by living with someone an a daily basis. I certainly miss you!!!
I love you!
I love you so
Blessings and love
It's hard to believe it's been 1 year since you transitioned. The truth is you've never been closer. It doesn't surprise me that you've had over 3,500 visitors and you will always be cherished and honored. I love you and will always celebrate your life. Thank you for the amazing Life you've given me.
I am so emotionally moved today. It's your birthday 2012 and I miss you so much. It hit me in such a big way, it's as though I've been numb until now. Tears of joy and sadness flow and yet you are here. Thank you again for your tireless, endless love and quality of life that you've given us.

A great similarity
As I watched the news coverage for Nelson Mandella's Memorial Service, I was contiually struck with the realization that his later photos and those of Roho show a great amount of the same beauty. They could easily have been Brother and Sister. We know for sure that they are Kindred Spirits. Happy Birthday, Roho! from all of the Ayyoub's.
Amazing Woman, Fantastic Mother
When I look at this photo of my mom, I think Regal, Graceful, Powerful, Warm, A Giver of Knowledge and Wisdom, An Educator, Very Wise, A Lover of Family and Culture!
I am thinking of Roho as she would be 95 tomorrow the 9th of February.- I miss her tremendously, but I feel her spirit always.
Happy Birthday Mom, I love You!
