  1. Very sad. This Ismaili family was friends to my close friends Manjees living in Chicago area. Very very sad. I heard that nothing happened to the driver of the taxi. If so, the accident needs investigation.

    Padre nostro che sei nei cieli,
    sia santificato il tuo nome;
    venga il tuo regno,
    sia fatta la tua volontà,
    come in cielo così in terra.
    Dacci oggi il nostro pane quotidiano,
    rimetti a noi i nostri debiti,
    come noi li rimettiamo ai nostri debitori
    e non ci indurre in tentazione,
    ma liberaci dal male.

    Amen

    In the name of The Father , The Son and The Holy Spirit I pray peace for the family members and friends in this most difficulta time. Father grant all the protection of your encouraging words to comfort them and allow them courage to face the difficulta days ahead.
