This memorial website was created in memory of my beloved mother, Salome Farahmand Penn, 83 1/2 years old at the time of death. Born on March 25, 1929, and passed away on November 29, 2012. I will forever remember you and know that I will see you again when I die (physically). I'm still hurting after eight long years. I never knew that you were seriously sick until the first week in October of 2012, I only made it to see you one more time four days before your death. I wish you had taken me with you, as I feel like a part of me died when you died. I have never been the same and still grieve for you. I loved you Mama more than anyone in the world and will love you forever. You were my mother, my best friend, my Hero and my Soulmate. Thank you for being in my life and always being there for me. You were the most honest, generous, kind and loving mother and you will forever be in my heart. I miss you so much Mama and still cry for you at any given moment. I will always carry you in my heart Mama. What keeps me going is that I know that I’ll see you again and be with you eternally when I die.

I love you,
Desirée
(your daughter and only child)

To my dearest & darling Mama,

I miss you Mama more than ever. I miss seeing you in Paris, hearing your voice every morning on the phone, looking into your gorgeous green eyes that also showed your love for me, the safety I felt having you in my life, your kindness and generosity that I've never seen before. You had a heart of gold and I only trusted you because you never lied to me. Thank you Mama for everything you did for me in my life, I am so grateful to you. If it were not for you Mama, I would have never made it in life. Sometimes I wish I were never born so that I wouldn't experience the pain that I've had from losing you. I never thought you were going to pass away when I saw you.

Although Yasmine took care of you in Iran, we became enemies because she didn't even ask me where I would like you to be buried and demanded for $10,000 claiming that I owed Hadji. I paid it for your burial and funeral plus Yasmine demanded for a $1,000 to have your grave cleaned which I sent her. I would have definitely had you cremated and brought you home with me and made plans to bury your ashes with mine.

I know your Spirit is with me and I love and miss you more than anyone in the world. You were my world and the love of my life. I feel lost without you, abandoned and cry every day for you.

If Dodo would have arranged for me to come sooner, I would be there a month or two before you passed away but they didn't, but at least I spent 2 nights with you in the hospital room before you were rushed to ICU where you passed 3 days later. They never told me you had cancer until a month later and no doctor could have cured you because you were at Stage IV, which is the last stage and it had spread to your brain

Your favorite Quote was "Desiderata."

I am not and never will be the same for the rest of my life and will never get over losing you. My only hope is that I'm going to see you again when I die, and that you will come down like a bird and take me under your wings and go with you and be with you eternally.

I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING OR ANYONE IN THE WORLD.

Your only child,

Desiree

I'm always with you and always love and miss you more than ANYONE in the world.

I'm with you and just want to be with you physically. I'm so unhappy without you, alone, and scared. Nothing in this world makes me happy. I feel like I'm on the dark side of the moon. When I die, my only hope is that I will see you and I'm sure you'll be waiting for me.

My dear Mama. I still cry for you every day and I miss your voice and beautiful gorgeous green eyes. I feel like I've lost a part of me because it's with you. You're forever in my Heart and Soul and I'm forever yours.. My Mama I know you're with me and once I pass I will be with you forever. This all happened too soon. I hope one day I can visit your grave on the otherside of the globe. Goodbye until the next note.

Happy Birthday Mama. I'm still grieving and will cry forever until I pass and with you again. You're always in my heart and soul. I miss your love, caring, kindness & generosity forever. You were beautiful inside and outside. How am I suppose to live without you, I don't know but I'm trying very hard. I miss you so much and miss your voice. You were gone too soon and I'm devastated.

Another year of eternal rest, Salome. May your soul live forever in our memories.

November 29, 2023

Another year has gone by without you and I miss you terribly. I think of you and all the good memories we had. I just wish that I had known that you were so sick in advance so that I could have done more to make you comfortable, but no one told me and you didn’t even know. You are in my heart forever and will see you again when I cross the bridge. I love you more than anyone in this world. Your only child, Desiree

Mama’s video taken in Paris/The incredible horrific voyage to Iran

December 25, 2019

I recorded my beloved mother in Paris before we flew to Kansas. It was her first trip to Lawrence, Kansas, but she didn’t like it. Well, I don’t blame her as there’s a huge difference between Paris and the Midwest, even New York City (where she lived prior to moving to Paris) was better. I love this video and have saved it in so many places so that I will always have it and listen to her voice while she was happy and not sick. I miss her so much and my heart is still in so much pain even after 7 years since she’s been gone. She died in the ICU in Tehran and they killed her. When one is incubated they usually develop Pulmonary Edema. She only needed oxygen. This was my cousin, Yasmine’s fault for sending her to The ICU instead of having a nurse 24/7 in her hospital room. I will never ever forgive my evil cousin as she wanted her to die so that she could take over her apartment in Paris and believe me, she told me afterwards when we had a huge argument that she was going to Paris to inherit it. Well I had the Will and the Deed so it didn’t work however, she refused to give me my mother’s death certificate and U.S. Passport. My other cousin had my mother’s checkbook from her bank in Paris and literally cleaned out her account-when my mother gave me a check on her death bed, it bounced because of my cousin. How could the French bank allow him to access her money? He was a very good liar and a conman so he probably said that she was too sick to withdraw money and asked him to do it-who knows. Then they made me pay for her funeral which was so heartless as my mother gave them so much throughout her life including her 7 Carat diamond wedding ring to cover her hospital costs plus they stole all her valuables in Paris where she lived and 40,000 Euros. How despicable and I hope that both of my cousins whom I haven’t spoken to in years, go to Hell where they belong. Sorry to say this but they’re stealers, liars and have hurt many other people in their lives. They even stole all their aunt’s money when she passed away as she trusted my cousin to pay her bills since she was forgetful. Her aunt asked her to keep some of that money but to set aside money to have a school built in her name..well Yasmine kept that money too and the school was never built. My cousins who I do not consider as family, are filthy rich as they inherited millions from their father when he died 35 years ago plus they inherited a lot of land. Yasmine was also jealous of my mother’s love for me as she loved her too, so she took her while she as sick from Paris to Tehran so that she would be far away from me and she knew how difficult it would be for me to go to Tehran as a U.S. Citizen. Well I managed to go ad see my mother in Tehran 5 days before she died...it was the most horrific experience of my life! Not only because my mother passed away in Tehran, but that I was unable to bring her body back with me, the funeral was horrific and she was buried in a Muslim cemetery but she was Christian and believed in Jesus. Then I was afraid of being in Tehran as I was an American, I didn’t know where my aunt and cousins apartment was located, I couldn’t read any of the signs and I just wanted to get the hell out of Dodge. I changed my ticket through my friend in Kansas and left 3 days later. I was lucky to get in even though I was interrogated for an hour and thought I would definitely be arrested and accused of being a spy, and surprised that they allowed me out of the country. It took me 34 hours to get back to Kansas with 2 layovers and an ice storm in Amsterdam. I hadn’t slept for 34 hours either. I was a total wreck, felt like my heart was broken into a million pieces and felt like half of me died with my mother. My mother who was all I had and loved, destroyed me in many way after she died. I have been crying almost every day for 7 years, I was unable to work, and now I have medical problems. God only know what will happen next. I am in contact with my 92 year old Aunt whom I love but nothing like my mother. I don’t trust her and she lies too. But, it’s better than nothing. She’s in Tehran and being taken care of her by her two adult children otherwise she would have been in a Nursing Home. So, the only thing that keep me sane is biking and my photography. I’m broke and living on Social Security which is minimal but better than nothing.... I just wish I could move to Paris and live in a small studio with my cat, but I would need medical insurance with all my medical conditions so I don’t know if that will ever happen, unless I sell all my mother’s paintings which has been literally impossible. But I’m going to really try. ~~~~~~~~~~

HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY MAMA

April 12, 2019

I always remember your birthday but didn’t come to your memorial site in time but Happy Belated Birthday Mama. I miss sending you birthday cards and I’m still in pain after losing you 6 1/2 years ago. My life has changed so much since your death and I’m still crying for you and miss you terribly Mama. I feel alone, and no longer can see your beautiful face (only through pictures and my imagination) or hear your beautiful low voice.. I’m in so much pain Mama. We lost Sophie (our Siamese cat, remember), last Friday, April 5th and it just brought up my loss for you, even stronger.

I know that you spirit is with me but I’m wish that you could send me more messages. I need you Spiritually Mama and need to feel your presence and love. My hope is that when I die, that you’ll be waiting for me with open arms and that I’ll be with you eternally. I always carry you in my heart and you have the biggest part of my heart

I love and miss you more than words can express. Your only daughter, Desirée
