Abboud left this world.  A poem written by Rudyard Kipling that rings closest to a great man I once knew.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"> IF</div> If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you;<br /> If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, but make allowance for their doubting too;<br /> If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, or, being hated, don't give away hating, and yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;<br /> <br /> If you can dream-and not make dreams your master;<br /> If you can think-and not make thoughts your aim;<br /> If you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two imposters just the same;<br /> If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, or watch the things you gave your life to broken, and stoop and build 'em up with worn out tools;<br /> <br /> If you can make one heap of all your winnings and risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, and lose and start again at your beginnings and never breathe a word about your loss;<br /> If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you except the will which says to them: "HOLD ON";<br /> <br /> If you can talk with cowards and keep your virtue, or walk with kings-nor lose the common touch;<br /> If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;<br /> If all men count with you, but none too much;<br /> If you can fill the unforgiving minute with sixty seconds' worth of distance run-yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, and-which is more-you'll be a Man, my son!<br /> <br /> Shortly after the death of my father, David stepped in to help, I just wanted to say thankyou. God Bless You David Abboud!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />

I didn't know who she was.” The woman was her aunt Mary Jane, her mother's sister, who had grown up in Omaha. She was unfamiliar to Danielle, only 4½, because she had lived out of the country. U.S. government jobs had taken her to Guam, Japan, Paris and the United Nations in New York, among other places. She arrived home in that taxi in 1959 after flying from Belgium, where she worked in the U.S. Embassy. At 30, she was well into an exciting career. But she was about to embark on a much different one — helping to raise her sister's five children, then ages 3 to 12.<br /> <br /> As Danielle said in admiration and a bit of awe: “You give up a career traveling all over the world, <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvCWj4WAQ0vj95Zzlb4G0vWy9D5ScizCA-7e4Ofa3HLFUY2YDxijCLB9yG89_1zJ_eSlhh2gadzYiVLIn4SsyFCQ4P-NabZhH-I0IaGrvenzqRqwKeyZlTb2E2-G7HoeSH4VIx2x9Swaw/s1600/Mary-Jane-Abboud.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvCWj4WAQ0vj95Zzlb4G0vWy9D5ScizCA-7e4Ofa3HLFUY2YDxijCLB9yG89_1zJ_eSlhh2gadzYiVLIn4SsyFCQ4P-NabZhH-I0IaGrvenzqRqwKeyZlTb2E2-G7HoeSH4VIx2x9Swaw/s1600/Mary-Jane-Abboud.jpg" width="165" /></a></div> doing what you love, to raise your sister's kids. She never married. She was here for her family, and she did everything a parent has to do.” One August day 55 years ago, Gloria fell and skinned a knee. It became infected, she slipped into toxic shock and within three days she died. After graduating from the College of St. Mary in Omaha, Mary Jane had entered government service, which took her to exciting places. Who knows where it would have led? She didn't talk a lot about what she had done, but apparently it eventually entailed supervising administrative support staff for diplomats.<br /> <br /> Mary Jane also provided financial support. Her brother, David, a real estate developer, found a plot near 93rd and Pacific Streets, and helped Mary Jane get a five-bedroom house built. It became a home for herself, for her mother and her children and for the five Dubuc kids — 13 people in all. Mary Jane worked at the Strategic Air Command at Offutt Air Force Base for about 30 years, part of the time editing a SAC magazine.<br /> <br /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxJwq0g44FdTxBf9lS720kWI3MnnI05DL5RP4zTxzvrEMHRAG2QQXvL3Cab34DBkflujoL_toxMKaqI6g3Cp2DDs0x8eLGfcX0IvlAHN5duvuJmIQuuQ_0MlKuHIAJc7zVjKVyRDs7C6s/s1600/MaryJaneAbboud.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxJwq0g44FdTxBf9lS720kWI3MnnI05DL5RP4zTxzvrEMHRAG2QQXvL3Cab34DBkflujoL_toxMKaqI6g3Cp2DDs0x8eLGfcX0IvlAHN5duvuJmIQuuQ_0MlKuHIAJc7zVjKVyRDs7C6s/s1600/MaryJaneAbboud.jpg" width="166" /></a>“Some can get a little on the wild side,” she said. “Mary Jane and I finally sat down when I was 16 and had a heart-to-heart talk. She said, 'I may not be your mother, but I am your guardian who takes care of you, and I can be your confidante and your friend.' ”<br /> <br /> Ted, who worked 40 years in the computer industry, lives in Huntington Beach, Calif. His daughter, Nicole Dubuc, now 35, worked as a child actress in such TV shows as “Our House” and “Major Dad,” and today is a writer. At her funeral, she was described as a disciplinarian, matchmaker, friend — and a mother, even though never she claimed that last role. “She was exceptionally bright,” Ted said. “She was also very religious, and she knew that if God had called her to this, then that was what she would do. She never looked back and never expressed regrets.” “She is my hero,” Danielle said. “I don't know how anybody could do what she did.
