PASHANG ESFANDIARI

Dear Mary Ann: I had Dr. Esfandiari for Sophomore Plane Geometry. I was an excellent student in general, but this subject totally flummoxed my brain. He was gentle, kind and I'm sorry that I strained his patience so. He would try to help me over my hurdles, but I was in a class that 'caught on" easily and all I saw was a board of numbers and his comment at the end, "any questions?" seemed to taunt me. He really helped me over the hard parts! Most subjects came quite easily to me! Susan...

Mary Ann, we are so sorry for your loss. You will always have Pashang watching over you and protecting you with his love. I wish we had the chance to know him better....your neighbors at 10101 Carillon Ct with the two black dogs.

Dear Mary Ann,

I didn't know you well at Regina in 68-69, but I remember your husband who affected my life deeply as the first adult man I knew outside of family endowed with a wonderful sense of humor. The man that had a love for his adopted country, but also a soft spot for his native "Eee-raun, not Eye-ran, because there would be a He-ran and a She-ran." I wish you well.
I now live in Georgia but happen to be here for four days visiting. God bless you and hold you...

Mary Ann,
So sorry for your loss. May the memories of your amazing marriage with Pashang help to comfort you.
Thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

My heart to Mr. Esfandiari's family! Mary Ann, may God bless you especially through this time of grief! From what I read in his obituary, you had a very special relationship with him! The memories you had are something to hold onto forever!

So sorry to learn of Mr. Esfandiari's passing. I took both Physical Science and Physics from him at Regina. He was influential in my decision to major in biology and work in a medical lab as my first career. Now I share my passion for the wonders of science with 4th grade students. He will not be forgotten. Condolences to Mary Ann and his family.
Comfort and peace,
Ellen Seubert Taddeo

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this most difficult time. May your beloved's memory be eternal.

Mr. Esfandiari was one of my very favorite teachers at Regina. He was kind, patient and very dedicated and intelligent. I was heartened to read that he had a life full of adventures and a wonderful marriage. Mary Ann, may your pain be lessened in the knowledge that he touched many lives in such a positive way. Rest In Peace.

I am deeply sorry for your loss. Death is a terrible pain for family and friends to bear. May God redeem your love one from death. Hosea 13: 14.
