| I would like to express my sincere condolences for the sad loss of Dear Maman, and my apologies and regret for being absent at her funeral today to pay my last respects. One could not have wished for a kinder, more warm-hearted, accepting Mother-in-Law. She always had a smile and a good word for everyone. Despite being separated by too many miles and a language/culture barrier, she welcomed me into her family with open arms and heart. I have many fond memories – at the market, getting fabric so that she could make pyjamas for the children and buying so much fruit for Baba we could hardly carry it! Spending hours trying to have a simple conversation – diagrams and all! Chatting, drinking chai, laughing, crying. Maman taught me to pray, to speak Farsi, to cook Baghali Gatog, Fesenjune and Khoresteh Alu to mention but a few. She really was Maman to me. This very special lady has now retired from her duties here on Earth. May she Rest in Peace. God Bless Her. “Shab Bikhair Maman Joon” x |

| "Enna Lellah wa Enna Elaihe Rajaoon" "We are from God and to him we shall return" I believe people are remembered by their actions and what they leave behind. Personally, I have a lot of good to remember you by. You have given me direction and meaning to my life, and to me, you were like a guiding light in the dark, I owe you a lot for all the things you taught me and the great influence you had on my life. As a child you taught me the importance of always remembering God and the value of religion, prayers, and prophets. I treasure the moments I had with you and I will always remember you as a role model and a mentor. I will never forget all the kind things you’ve done for me; The times that you would make me feel better when I was down, the times you would hold me and gave me little love bites until I fell a sleep on your lap, and everyday all the “Ghorboon sadaghes” you would give me that would brighten up my day and heart. I know now that I will never hear your “Ghorboon sadaghe’s” again or see you make that cute face while saying it. MamanGole you may have left us, but I will always love you, and I will always be your Hoodi.. Love you always, Mahshid |
