Unfortunately, Sahar and Elsa would never make it home. Their flight out of Tehran was shot down shortly after takeoff.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6033642\" data-originallang=\"en\"> I asked Habib to reflect on their loss. His daughter, Sahar, had a kind and loving heart. She dedicated much of her time spreading positive energy and helping those in the community who needed a hand. His eight-year-old granddaughter, Elsa, was a carbon copy of her mother. She was an old soul and a natural leader who sought to protect the weak and make new students feel welcome, a future politician, her family thought.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6033643\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Sahar and Elsa did finally make it home. They were laid to rest on Sunday. We grieve with their family, and all the lives they touched. Sahar and Elsa will be deeply missed.</p>",
"fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"6033641\" data-originallang=\"en\">Madame la Pr\u00e9sidente, je parle d'une photo qui est devenue virale et qui a touch\u00e9 le c\u0153ur de bien des gens: un \u00e9goportrait d'une m\u00e8re et de sa fille, assises dans l'avion, envoy\u00e9 \u00e0 la famille qui les attendait \u00e0 destination. Malheureusement, Sahar et Elsa ne sont jamais rentr\u00e9es chez elles. Leur vol au d\u00e9part de T\u00e9h\u00e9ran a \u00e9t\u00e9 abattu peu apr\u00e8s le d\u00e9collage.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6033642\" data-originallang=\"en\">J'ai demand\u00e9 \u00e0 Habib de parler de sa perte. Sa fille, Sahar, \u00e9tait g\u00e9n\u00e9reuse et aimante. Elle a consacr\u00e9 une bonne partie de sa vie \u00e0 r\u00e9pandre l'optimisme et \u00e0 aider les gens de sa communaut\u00e9 qui avaient besoin de soutien. Sa petite-fille de 8 ans, Elsa, ressemblait \u00e0 sa m\u00e8re comme deux gouttes d'eau. Elsa \u00e9tait une vieille \u00e2me et une leader naturelle qui cherchait \u00e0 prot\u00e9ger les personnes vuln\u00e9rables et \u00e0 accueillir les nouveaux \u00e9l\u00e8ves \u2014 une future politicienne, d'apr\u00e8s sa famille.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"6033643\" data-originallang=\"en\">Sahar et Elsa ont finalement \u00e9t\u00e9 ramen\u00e9es chez elles. Elles ont \u00e9t\u00e9 enterr\u00e9es dimanche. Nous offrons nos condol\u00e9ances \u00e0 leur famille et \u00e0 ceux qu'elles ont c\u00f4toy\u00e9s. Le d\u00e9part de Sahar et d'Elsa laisse un grand vide.</p>"
