WHEREAS, Words cannot adequately express the sorrow felt at |
|
|
the loss of Yusef A. Mohamed of McAllen, who passed away on January |
|

|
|
Mr. Mohamed worked for The University of Texas Health Science |
|
|
Center in McAllen as a research consultant in the Department of |
|

|
and |
|
|

|
brightened the lives of all who knew him with his radiant smile and |

|
|
ranch; he also delighted in firing up his grill and preparing |
|
|
wonderful meals for his family and friends; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, While the life of Yusef Mohamed ended far too soon, |
|
|
those fortunate enough to have known him will remember his warmth, |
|
|
compassion, and luminous spirit, and he will forever hold a |
|
|
treasured place in their hearts; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
