I will hold the memory of this dear woman in my heart forever. She was always so welcoming, generous and graceful. All of us at Hospice who were honored to work on her care team were not only made better clinicians for having known her...we were also made better people. May eternal peace be unto you, dear Touba.

It was such an honor and priviledge to know Touba her special smile and sparkling eyes. She was such a gracious lady and gave her hugs freely.
Maryam may your wonderful memories give you comfort in the days ahead. You gave Touba such wonderful and loving care, what a comfort you will have in the time ahead to know you were there for her. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Take Care, Patti

Touba- A tree in heaven
Do people know when they pick their child's name that it will be so fitting for them one day. For like a tree Touba hovered over all in her presence, with love and protection. She made us feel secure, and provided constant prayer and blessings for all of us who had the honor to be part of her life. It is only fitting that we remember that her love and smile will always be there to encourage and protect us, for a heavenly tree never dies.

Khanoum Ashraf, you will always be in my heart as a kind and respectful person. I will miss your beautiful smile and spirit. You were always so welcoming, generous and graceful. From the family gathering in Iran to the birthday party we shared in your home; When I think of all the memories, I recall only happy ones.

Hi my precious mother. Hi my love. Hi my life. Hi my Touba. Maman you left me... you are gone...but I am always with you and our memories will always stay with me. I miss the times we used to go out and have barbeque jigar and chelo kabab together, you always made sure that I ate all my food. I remeber the times you always bought Maryam and I shiny black shoes for New Year. Mother you were a loveable Mum, you were a courageous Mum. Mother you would fall ten times in life but you would get up twenty times. You raised Maryam and I all by yourself and I thank you for all your efforts raising us single handed. Words cannot describe your love and courage. Maman we miss you...I miss you and I will not forget you for a second. I am always with you and I will love you until we meet again. Maman you always had so much peace and love in your heart so I am confident that you are resting in peace.
I am missing you and your beautiful smile and I will always be missing you. I love you my precious Mother.. forever.
Love from your Mohsen
