Passing of my Maman Bozorg (Grandmother)

Dear Friends,
Please keep in your thoughts and hearts my grandmother, Marjan Greengani Rahmatollahi. She passed on to the next world yesterday. My family is grieved, but we remember also to be thankful that, after 27 years of being far from home, my mother was able to visit her family in Iran in September of this year. Although my grandmother was in advanced stages of Alzheimer's and hadn't seen my mother since she was 18, my mom felt that her mother recognized her.

Know thou of a truth that the soul, after its separation from the body, will continue to progress until it attaineth the presence of God - Bahá’u’lláh

Also, at 11 a.m. today I fly out of New Orleans. There are people I should have called, letters I should have written and probably bills I should have paid. But what ever I've forgotten, I promise I'll take care of it when I get back in two and a half years!
