Basem and Family. We love all so much. It's been quite a journey but how you all have stuck together and prayed and lifted your dad up has been incredible. Continued prayers during yet another time to lift him up to the Lord. He is such a strong man and your family is too. We love you. Eddie and Joanie Thomas

I do not believe that we have seen greater love, hope, resilience, tenacity and endurance as we have witnessed from Basem, Jill and the entire Shammas family. Prayers are a constant and God has all of you wrapped in His arms. Basem- you are amazing and we are always in the background waiting to do whatever you need us to do. Now go and enjoy the beautiful family you and Jill created. You remain an inspiration to all of us. Sending a mountain of love and hugs your way. Don't forget to read jokes and watch funny movies. Laughter really is the best medicine! Steve & Winnie

Your family has demonstrated over and over the true meaning of love and importance of family. Our thoughts and prayers for all of you. Extra special hugs for you Jill.

So sorry to hear this news. Your dad is a strong man and has fought so hard for you all to have more time together. You are all in my prayers! Hug your mom for me!

Sending prayers 🙏 and lots of hugs to your family. Hold on to all the wonderful memories and make many more.

Sending love and prayers to you all. Enjoy every moment together and give your Mom a BIG hug for me 🙏❤️

Continued prayers and a touching message today as we all remember how precious life is. Hugs to you all.

Surrounding you all with prayers and love.
