I lived in the area several years ago, and Dr. Abdelmessih was the best veterinarian I've ever been to. His story was truly an amazing one. He was a wonderful man.

I loved visiting Dr Abdel, hearing the rich history of his life over the years, and his incredible knowledge and love of veterinary medicine. So very sad to read that he passed, and I'm sure he's already made friends with all the 4-legged angels.

Dr. Abdel was a good friend and a superb vet. He lovingly cared for many of our animals. We maintained contact even after we moved. He is greatly missed.

I loved Dr. Abdel. He was the most loving to all the animals he cared for and their human parents as well. I also know he is a lover of Christ. I'm sure he will be with all he loves again in the future. God blessed him and will continue to bless him. For now, rest my friend.
