Hello Dearest,

I’ve been calling your phone, leaving messages, and growing more concerned with each unanswered attempt. It was so unlike you, who were always so present, so responsive.

And now, after searching further, I found your memorial page… and my heart sank. I am deeply saddened, especially for your beautiful children.

You endured so much in this life, yet you carried it all with strength, grace, and perseverance. That is how I will always remember you—resilient, powerful, and full of light.

Rest in power, my sister. You will never be forgotten. - Anna Mendoza

My condolences to Saman's family, in particular her children who have experienced loss more than one. Saman was a neighbor and friend when we lived in Tehran. We also went to the same elementary school (Miss Mary's), which she loved, keeping the alumni together for decades through various events. She was inspirationally strong and positive. We had many laughs at how much I hated my experience at Miss Mary's :-) school - Likely a result of me being such a bad student. Saman, you will be sorely missed and live in our memories.

Hi, I worked at a coffee shop and the minute Jasmine came in we connected. I thought immediately this was a sign from the universe, as I had been looking for some guidance this exact week, I knew she came into my life to teach me something. And she did, she taught me lots in the short span i knew her. I am deeply saddened to have found this out, and I am sending my condolences to her family.

I had known Jasmine for a short time whilst our children were in school. Jasmine raised independent, extremely bright, athletic, courageous and deeply aware on a global level children. She was compassionate and strong and I know a piece of her will live on in her children. A naturally beautiful woman as well, God let her soul be at rest.

I am heartbroken to hear about Jasmine's passing. We shared a wonderful friendship for nearly 20 years, and I will always cherish the memories we created together. Jasmine was a remarkable woman who cared deeply for her children. To her beloved kids, please know that your mother spoke of you with immense pride and love. During this incredibly difficult time, may you find strength and comfort in the love and support of those around you. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
