Mitra and Babak,
We have had many fond memories of your family and visits with you. Bahman was a dear friend and brother in the Lord from the days of Gibsons to present. May God richly bless you and comfort you and your family.
I met Bahman when I was his mailman, and always enjoyed getting to talk to him (even learned a few words of Farsi to greet him with). I remember how excited and happy he was as his marriage approached, and being happy for him.
It was always a pleasure to see him again in stores where I shopped, to get to chat briefly and catch up a little on our lives. Short casual contacts, but seeing him again always made the day special.
Blessing, and God’s comfort to Mitra and Babak. The joy you were to Bahman’s life makes all of us who loved him cherish you, and mourn with you.
I worked with Bahman at Gibson’s. He was always smiling and happy. He was sweet and kind to everyone! He was a joy to work with. R. I.P. Prayers to his family and friends.
Dear aunt Mitra, we are deeply saddened by the loss of dear Bahman. We have many wonderful memories of him. He was kind and cheerful. He loved to make happy others. We really appreciate his character. Please accept our condolences on the passing of dear Bahman. It was an honor to have known such a great person and we will truly miss him. May God embrace you in comfort during this difficult time.
My memories of Bahman were always of cheerful greetings and concern to be of service in his retail environments…always quick to share what a good value his products were! He was of great value to those whom employed him with his unwaivering faithfulness to his work, even on days that he admittedly felt less than well. He was a cheerful and kind soul. May God’s comfort hold you close in the days ahead.
I knew Bahman when he worked at Gibson;s and Tuesday Morning. I visited him for the Visiting Nurses Association. He especially enjoyed music. I enjoyed visiting with him.
I have such wonderful memories of Bahman and our time working at Gibsons! He was always so joyful! My thoughts and prayers are with the family!
“Friends of our God, though they may pass away, will never be
forsaken. All those asleep who in God’s Memory stay, from death
He will awaken. Then we’ll come to see all that life can be:
Paradise eternally!”
Job 14:13-15
John 6:40
Mitra, I was sorry to read of your husbands passing. I know that his health had not been very good. Take care of yourself.
