Chère Madame Yasma

C’est avec beaucoup de peine que j’ai appris la triste nouvelle du rappel à Dieu de Dr. Basil aujourd’hui.
Aucun mot ne peut exprimer la tristesse qui est mienne en ce funeste jour. Avec la perte de Basil c’est la perte d’un grand "Monsieur" digne et généreux dont la nation toute entière se voit privée.
Je prie le seigneur pour le repos de son âme et pense très fort à vous.

Amicalement

The last candle I lit for you was on Saturday evening.
It carried my hopes and prayers for you and for Lebanon. You will remain a symbol of all that is fine, and promising, and strong.
We drew such courage from your valiant struggle against the ugliness that damaged you. We will continue to draw courage from your example.
Continue to smile upon us.
Farewell, Bassel. This is a much lesser world without you.
