I want to honor the incredible life and legacy of my dear friend, George Saba, who served metro Detroit's immigrant community for over four decades as a Board of Immigration Appeals accredited representative. George would walk in a room with a big smile, and everyone would smile back. George dedicated his life to reuniting thousands of families, first at the International Institute of Metro Detroit, and later at ACCESS, always bringing compassion, warmth, and unwavering commitment. Born in Ramallah, George was proud of being Palestinian and of his heritage. He was actively involved with the American Federation of Ramallah, working to preserve and pass on his culture to future generations. George's work transformed lives, and his presence brought comfort and strength to so many. On behalf of the 12th Congressional District, we extend our deepest sympathies to his beloved wife, Itidal; his children, Paul and Janan; his late dear son, Amjad; and his entire family and his friends. May his legacy live on and his memory continue to be a blessing and source of strength. ``Allah yerhamo''; ``God bless his soul.'' ____________________
