Sue, I am saddened to learn of your loss. Shaf was a brilliant surgeon and very dedicated to our babies in the NICU. I have great respect for him as a surgeon and as a person. I learned a great deal working with him in the NICU. I also loved his sense of adventure and enjoyed hearing about your travels all over the world. Take care my friend, and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Jackie Howe

Sue, Mike & I are saddened that you have lost the love of your life, but we know what wonderful memories you have from the great adventure your lives were together. Shaf was an incredible talent in the OR, and a true advocate for his patients. He had a sincere compassion for NICU babies and families, and the high standards he set were appreciated by all. I also remember his kindness away from work - how he enjoyed taking us to lunch, and even encouraging us to have our girls' fellowship time. I am thinking of you, and praying for peace and strength during this difficult time. Love & miss you, my friend.

Sue, you and Shaf were so much more than colleagues. You were part of my NICU family. Katelyn still has the dolls you brought her from your world travels! Calling you both friends was such a privilege. My thoughts are with you during this time. I’m sending you love Sue and may Shaf rest in peace.

Sending you prayers to comfort you and peace for your hearts

Sue,
I was so saddened to read of the loss of Dr. ElShafie this morning. I remember being the recipient of his radiant smile and kidding a few times while working in peds and being your office mate for a few very pleasant years. He was a good surgeon and so well respected. I miss working with you and am sorry for your loss. I would love to see you again sometime! I am thinking of you during this very sad time.
