Dearest John, Lydia, Sean, Mandana, Kamelia, Vicente, Gio and Yasmin’s family & friends,,

Although we hadn’t seen each other in years, Yasmin and I remained connected on social media. I met Yasmin at Navy Federal. She was so incredibly easy to love and adore. She always spoke joyfully about Lydia, Sean, John, Mandana, Kamelia, her Father, and so on.

It is true that heartbreak is the price we pay for love, and I am so deeply sorry for your loss. While your lives may never feel the same, your hearts will no less rejoice at many delightful memories.

In the weeks, months, and years ahead, I offer my prayers, strength and God’s blessings to each and every one of you.

I will never forget your dearest wife, Mother, sister, and friend, our Yasi Joon.

With my deepest sympathies,

~Marla 

(I hope this poem brings solace and comfort as it's done for me);

And if I go,

while you're still here...

Know that I live on,

vibrating to a different measure

--behind a thin veil you cannot see through.

You will not see me,

so you must have faith.

I wait for the time when we can soar together again,

--both aware of each other.

Until then, live your life to its fullest.

And when you need me,

Just whisper my name in your heart,

...I will be there.

The Town of Vienna Baha'i Community would like to forward their condolences to the Motlagh Russo Family on the loss of dear Yasi.  The spirit of service shown by this family is highly commendable and the family have been stewards of the greater community and the Baha'i community for decades.  Their loss is our loss, and we will not forget the kind spirit of this dear sister who worked quietly behind the scenes, praying for the success of so many endeavors.   You will be missed dear Yasi. 

O my Lord! O my Lord! This is a lamp lighted by the fire of Thy love and ablaze with the flame which is ignited in the tree of Thy mercy. O my Lord! Increase her enkindlement, heat and flame, with the fire which is kindled in the Sinai of Thy Manifestation. Verily, Thou art the Confirmer, the Assister, the Powerful, the Generous, the Loving.
