Dear Mona,
With a heavy heart and great sorrow I am sending my deepest condolences to you and all your family and anyone who was lucky to have known your Dad. I have known your dad since he started working in Tehran. Your Dad and the rest of the young generation coming to our department were a breath of fresh air, bringing their knowledge , enthusiasm, energy , and vitality which was really inspiring. I collaborated with your Dad and my relation with him and your mother went well beyond being colleagues, to a friendship that lasted for ever. Later I met him in London and he introduced me to renown English physiologist Dr Richter. I also met him in USA , and although we were not in close contact lately, I heard about him trough friends .
I am so sorry I could not joint you to pay my last respect to your Dad. I am currently recovering from surgery to remove a benign brain tumor, and cannot travel for the time being.
You had a wonderful Dad with a big heart, full of kindness. His passing is a big loss for all of us.
May God bless his soul, protect you and your family and help you to heal soon.
My best wishes and regards,
Tahereh Rahmani
