Dr. Lionel D. Alboum
SARATOGA SPRINGS — Dr. Lionel D. Alboum, 82, “went to seek and receive his reward” on Saturday, November 26, 2016.
He was a doctor of internal and holistic medicine. He was beloved by many and will be greatly missed.
Dr. Alboum is survived by his children; Helaine, Marc, and Jeffery, and his wife, Ann.
Honoring his wishes as a nonconformist, there shall be no calling hours or funeral services.
Sooner or later we lose a loved one.
Death is a merciful means of getting rid of the physical body
which has housed our spirit on earth.
One grieves, yet would not want our grief taken from us, even if it could be,
for our love is wrapped up with our grief.
Grief is the price we pay for love. “Love is eternal, death is a horizon,
and the horizon is only the limit of our sight.”
It has been said, “Death is not extinguishing the light,
but putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.”
When you are born, you cry, but your loved ones rejoice.
When you die, you shall rejoice, but your loved ones shall cry.
