Southfield, MI — The funeral service for Jimmy Aldaoud, a Michigan Chaldean man who was deported to Iraq in June and died on August 6 of a diabetic crisis, will take place at 10:00 am on Friday, September 6, at Mother of God Cathedral—25585 Berg Road, Southfield, MI 49033.

We ask that no media interviews take place on parish property before, during, or after the funeral.
