Thank you to everyone that came to the wake and funreal and even if you just called. ThankYou!



My family and I want to thank everyone that came to funreal and the wake for my mom. I also want to thank everyone that called, bought flowers, sent us cards, and gave us money. It really helped alot. My mother would have loved all the flowers and seeing all the people that she loved there you guys were like her other family.

Everything really ment alot to my family. The support that you gave us was huge. It hasn't been an easy time since she passed, but you all have made it alittle easier. I want to thank you. To see the support that you gave us to let us know how much mom was really loved. I truly understand the saying "that your never truly rich unless you have friends." My mother in that respect was a millionaire and I feel like one too.

I want to Thank You for being her friend and Thank You for being my family's friend too.

It's not getting any easier right now my dad is still sick but in few weeks i will be back and ready to hang out with everyone and be more social but right now i need to clear my head focus on school and work. So I will start calling everybody in the few weeks to hang out, to chat, see how things are going with everyone and be more social.

Again Thank You for everything my friendsand my mom's friends it really ment alot

Sincerly,

Joshua Modaressi

My was so good and she loved everyone and everybody loved her. My mother was so giving and never asked for anythng in return. She was a beautiful person. My mother was married to my father for 46 years. She wasn't only my mother she was my best friend. She was so good to us (her family & friends) and I hope I was good to you. I miss you.

I will always think of you. I will still ask you stuff and think of what your answer might be. Mom you will always be with me. You always made me laugh and you were always worried about me. You don't have to worry about me any more but i know you still will.

I just want to say Thank You for being my mom. Words can only say so much if there are words more powerful than Thank You for what I feel I want to say those too.

You were the best Mom a person could ever have and I don't know what I will do with out you.

Mom I wanted to let you that know you were always loved by everybody and we thank you for the short time you where with us and you will always have a chair at my dinner table. you also will always have place in my dreams. :)

Thank You Mom!

From your ever Loving son,

Joshua Isaac Modaressi

Dear Mohsen, Susie, and Josh,

Please accept my condolences. I know how deep a loss you are feeling. Betty was always there for my family, whether feeding my brother or facing a blizzard to fetch me from O'Hare when my own mother died.

Your family has done so much for mine. Please know I am thinking of all of you. And please let me know if there is anything I can do for any of you.

regards,
Johannah

I am so sorry to hear the news of my dear friend's death. She and I had many good times together while she was working with the American Printing House for the Blind. I can't get over the shock of hearing this tragic news. She will definitely be missed. God Bless Her.
