Dear Shaheen Family,
I worked with Dr. Shaheen for a few years in the OR at St Luke's Hospital. He also took care of my grandfather many years ago. I remember him as being so kind and campassionate towards his patients. He patiently taught me how to best care for his patients, and a great deal about Urology, which many years later I specialized in.
I will always be greatful. May
May the Lord hold him close, and my prayers go out to you all.
In Sincere Sympathy,
Judy Wiediger Schrum
