May 26, 2019 at 8:20 amDear Godfather Jacob,
Starting to write these few words I came to realize that I could not remember myself ever calling you noné (Godfather in Greek) in person . I don’t know why. But I always remember looking up to, admiring you and enjoying every time I had the chance, the blessing, to meet you in one your trips to Cyprus. I remember myself waiting to hear your jokes and your “contagious” laughter that filled the space.
I am honored, blessed and privileged to be able to say that you were my godfather and I know my beloved noná Evie and your boys feel blessed for having you as a husband and father. I pray the almighty God will help them bear the pain of your loss and cherish your memories together.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you our dearest Evie, Joseph, Alex and Mark.
With all our love,
Christos & Anastasia Taliadoros

May 27, 2019 at 6:38 amIt all started in Beirut; this beautiful story of Evie and Jacob ! Such lovely memories of the Musallam welcoming home with Jacob at the centre of it all. Words fail to express my feeling of sorrow at the loss of such a warm and joyful person. Reading what all the friends wrote shows how loving and loved Jacob has been. My deepest condolences go to you Evie, to Joseph, Alexander and Mark, to Cynthia and to Helen, Julian and Jonathan. May his soul be blessed and may he rest in peace knowing that Jacob’s memory will be eternally in your hearts.
