Tragic Death of Mr. Elie
Sajea Karam
The
early morning of Friday 25 November 2022 brought shocking news to JLSS.
The tragic death of Mr. Elie Sajea Karam of a massive heart attack
during his sleep was extremely difficult to believe. Everyone was
stunned with this most unexpected news.
This energetic healthy and highly spirited young man, who was only
married last August, was in the prime of his age.
Only hours earlier he was energetically doing his job at school
overseeing the safety of children as they arrive and leave school.
He was helping others meet the demands of the daily routine of
school-life, spreading his enthusiasm and dedication wherever he went.
It was unbelievable news that was extremely difficult to fathom, yet it
was the stark reality of life striking its most painful blow to JLSS,
his family, friends, and loved ones.
He will be greatly missed!
Not many people these days when they depart leave a vacancy that cannot
be filled.
Elie Karam was one of those rare committed and highly disciplined people
who are impossible to replace.
He was extremely dedicated, disciplined to the utmost, and highly
committed to perfectly do his job.
These traits of Elie are the most important requirements for ensuring
the safety of children.
He did his job, year after year, without losing his zeal to perfect his
work. His discipline was only comparable to the military. This is how he
kept our children safe for almost seventeen years.
JLSS lost a highly dedicated and loved member of its staff.
It will not be the same for us all in JLSS without him.
His love of JLSS and dedication to the Catholic church to which he
belonged and served, are the source of some consolation to us through
this very difficult time.
We express our most sincere condolences to his wife, grandmother/mother
who raised him, father, brother, and all his family and friends.
The Lord is Risen!
