Raud K. Alamin

Grief is complex, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

thank you for the many gifts you offered me, Raud.
they weren't material gifts....you offered me the world:
Your presence, your wit and confidence. Your knowledge and laughter. I admired you, Todd and Armin so much.
I still do.

I know you better in death....

Love, your cousin, neda xo

I'm so very sorry for your loss, Stephanie. Our collective loss. I am still in shock. I grew up with Raud, Todd and Armin. I learned so much from them and my Aunt and Uncle. Meeting you (I remember the day fondly) was glorious! I was so happy and proud of Raud. You met in college in NY. I recall visiting you guys in San Fran. Isabella had just had her heart surgery and was only a baby.

You all hosted me, Lisa, & Gita. Raud gave us a tour of the city and it was so fun. I miss him. I miss his wit and charm. He was so special to me. He was cocky, but humble. I always knew he was vulnerable. As a kid, I sensed that he tried to hide his gentle and vulnerable side by telling jokes and flirting; I realize now it wasn't flirting.

It was simply his charisma. He was BORN that way!
He always cheered me up.
His laughter and his voice. God, I miss him.

You and your children mean so much to me, Stephanie. Todd, Artis, their kids. We saw one another in San Diego ages ago. H and S were young and Raud and I were visiting. They hosted us in a home they were building.

I would love to visit you all with my boys someday. I don't want to traumatize anybody :) I simply want to be with family. I love you all. I'm so sorry I missed the service in 2017. I wasn't ready. I am ready today. I am confident. I believe in myself. I haven't received any word from you, yet......Neda

MAY THE THOUGHT OF KNOWING THAT FAMILY AND FRIENDS SHARE IN YOUR GRIEF BRING YOU A MEASURE OF COMFORT.PLEASE READ PROV 17:17

Thank you to the Cuccaro-Alamin family for allowing us all to share our love for you at the beautiful service this morning.

I remember telling him when I first met my wife and the stoke, love and support he expressed was a piece but also a true component of what has led me to where I am. The man was light eternal and still is. Thanks for sharing that light with all of us Raud.

One of my favorite memories is laughing with Raud in the hallways of Cincinnati Country Day for 13 year. Raud will truly be missed.

Cherish the warm and loving memories.
