Remembering her and her former husband with love

I feel so unhappy and lonely in a world without Deirdre, since my brother, her former husband too, flew to her. peace be upon them. I'll never forget neither of them.

Never could I forget my beloved sister, Deidre! God bless her.

To all who loved Dierdre and Woody, our condolences. We will miss them as much as we've missed Dierdre's mother, Catherine. Love to all.

I'm so sorry that I couldn't visit her for the last time. Alas! She left us so early. Peace be upon her!

So sad to hear about the passing of my wonderful, beloved teacher. I will miss her always.

Dear Deidre will remain in my heart forever. Her memory and love lead me through hard work and studies. She taught me great lessons in my life. I lived beside her several years as two loving sisters. I, actually, missed her wholeheartedly while I returned home. I'm very distraught over her misfortunate demise and pray her soul may eternally rest in peace and comfort.
Persian literature is honored by her valuable works and Farsi translations into English and vice-versa.

Deirdre, beloved colleague and friend, whose words and vision remain... Bridget

It is sad that Dierdre and Woody will no longer be here. Dierdre was a wonderful, gracious, good teacher, person, friend and Woody was with her a stalwart fighter for the good that could happen in our own time.

A lovely woman who left us much too soon.
