Dearest Darabi family,

I am so very sorry to hear about your sudden and tremendous loss. Although I met Mr. Durabi on only two occasions, I have not forgotten his smiling eyes and the warmth with which he welcomed me. I remember too seeing this intense light in his eyes and thinking to myself what a beautiful person--he just exuded such radiance!

Although I was unable to attend the service, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Sincerely,

Annette

Dear Darabi Family,

My deepest condolences to your loss. Although I only had the honor of being in his presence a few times, you don't have to be around him long to feel the warmth and genuine love in his heart. It permeated through his loving smile and his deep eyes. Just remember that we are all souls with a body, not bodies with a soul and it is the soul that never dies. He is now tucked away in a better place protected from the pains of this earth and awaiting the day when we can all be reunited again. Take this time to celebrate his life and the happiness he brought to the people around him. He will definitely always remain in our hearts. <3

Dear Darabi Family,

Your father was an amazing man. He brightened up the room with that big smile of his. He loved life, his two sons, his beautiful wife, all five or six of his cars (loved that Datsun), and all of his model cars. I will never forget all the times he wrestled with his sons and the countless times he jumped into the pool doing a back flop or got pushed in by one of his sons. Lastly, he loved to have fun and dance the night away. He was a great man and will always be remembered.

My deepest regards,

Brandon

Dearest Mr. Darabi,

I will miss coming to your house and seeing your smiling face. You were a kind, genuine and loving man. I would always look forward to having parties at my parents house just to have you in my home and see you laugh, enjoy yourself and dance persian. Everyone loved you, you would meet someone for the first time and treat them as though you knew them for a lifetime. I will never forget the first day I met you and all the memories, holidays and laughs we shared throughout the past five years. I love you very, very much and I am blessed to have been a part of your life, you trully were my family. I will pray for you everyday and you will always be in my thoughts. I miss you more than you will ever know. You will never be forgotten. You are my angel, God bless your soul.

all my love,

Afsoon D.
