Shoukri Gaber

Dearest Al, Sandy and Gaber Family,
Our deepest sympathies to you for this most painful loss. Mr. Gaber's story is powerful and such a beautiful tribute to a man who so apparently lived, loved and gave to the fullest. We can certainly see some of his legacy through the open friendliness of his son, Al, and the sweet giving heart of Sandy. Please know that our family's prayers are going out to and for you all. "Blessed are those who mourne for they shall be comforted"-May the God of...

My deepest condolences to all members & friends of the Gaber family on their great loss.

I love you grandpa so much and miss you dearly. Its hard knowing your not going to be calling me and seeing how im doing and talking about how i need to finish school. But im glad i at least took the time and came over helped you with whatever it ism, joined you for lunch or dinner, and talked with you to make you feel better. I wish you didnt have to go but i know your much happier being away from the pain you were suffering and being reunited with grandma i know you missed her soooo much!!...

Mr. Gaber was one of the nicest, caring and most dignified persons I have ever known. He also truly lived his faith. Scriptures tell us to care for the widows and orphans. Mr. Gaber did just that.

Dear Baba,
As I write this today I feel a big hole in my heart for the loss of you on July 7, 2006. You were like a father to me when my own father was not present or available to talk to. I will miss those talks. I wish I had been able to make more time to spend with you. Your sudden death is a reminder of the saying here today -gone tomorrow. I am in shock. I am so thankful you are not in any more pain and you are reunited with the one you love and have missed for 7 years-your wife,...

My deepest sympathies to my son-in-law Alfred Gaber, my daughter Sandra Gaber, my granddaughter Jessica Nicole Gaber, and to Shoukri Gaber's other sons, Saiid, Simon, Joe and Peter, and his daughter Mary and to their children, grandchildren, and spouses. I will miss Shoukri as a dear friend. He and his wife Leyla were always kind and friendly to me and I always enjoyed visiting in their home where there were fun and laughter and the most wonderful Mid-Eastern food. It was fun to take...

Take comfort in the words found in Isaiah 57:2 "Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest as they lie in death." From what I know and have read about Mr. Gaber, he was an upright man. May the peace of God be with you, his family, as the days continue.

SIMONE AND JEANNE:
