So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen. Romans 20:16
Bashar was chosen a long time ago, he will be with Jesus now that he accepted Christ.
God bless all - may His love cover you and be thankful of Bashar being with Jesus now.

To Shari and the family of Bashar Ashkar we sent our sincerest sympathies.
We, Violet and I, are thankful for the 3 days a weekly visits we had with Bashar, and though our communication was limited, still the visits were meaningful and a blessing.
We are also thankful for the opportunity to pray and read some verses of comfort for Bashar on weekly visits.
Now Bashar is "Safe in the Arms of Jesus"

"Burt" was the kindest, most gentle man that I had the honor and privilege to know. God, without a doubt has a room in his mansion for Burt. God bless, you, the family at this most difficult hour.
