In place of flowers, Iraj has requested that friends and family members make monetary donations to the Coalition for Pulmonary Fibrosis http://www.firstgiving.com/irajahmadi. Your donations will help researchers better understand this insidious disease and will hopefully result in a cure that can spare loved ones from the grief that the Ahmadi family experienced throughout their father's disease-ridden journey.
