Nephan Saran

NIPOM,
YOU MAY HAVE LEFT BUT ARE NOT GONE.
NUR ICINDE YAT

Our beloved NEPHAN SARAN passed away on Saturday, November 29, 2008 at the age of 84, in Istanbul, Turkey. Even though she was not in good health during the past few years, her death came as a shock of great loss to all of us who have known Nephan. She was one of the two remaining elders in the family and has connected with many of us in numerous ways. It is hard to imagine anyone who has not been in some way touched by Nephan.

I wish to convey my deep-felt sorrow to her daughter, Tilbe, her friends Belma, Bedia, Nukhet, Hayriye, Rezan , and the many others whose paths have crossed Nephan’s over the last 84 years. I would also like to try to convey some of my own feelings, in telling a first remembrance of my relationship with regard to my life with Nephan.

I am Nephan’s cousin on my mother ‘s side. I first met Nephan when I was about six years old and had just come back to Turkey from Iraq where my family had been living. Nephan at the time was attending high school in Ankara and staying with us at our grandfather’s house. I did not speak one word of Turkish and had to communicate by a kind of sign language, which Nephan used her stage-training expertise to decipher, as I was also acting out what I was trying to convey. There were many instances where what I was trying to say did not match what Nephan had thought she understood. However, she did not skip a beat and pretended that she understood everything. That made me feel good, both for my sign language skills and acting ability! Thus began a beautiful relationship which never faltered for even one minute.

Nephan truly had a zest for living. She had an unbelievable love of, and curiosity about life, and a sense of humour second to none. She was an enthusiastic travelling companion and enjoyed all trips, short and long, immensely. She was faithful to her friends and kind to strangers and people in need. She was a generous soul and proved it every step of the way. It would take a long time to list all the qualities which endeared her to all who knew her.

My wife, Joyce, and daughters Inci and Ayla join me in extending our heartfelt condolences to Tilbe, and our admiration of her for being a tower of strength and continual support to Nephan during the last few years of her life when her health was failing. On many occasions Nephan told me how lucky she was to have a daughter like Tilbe. We all agree with that sentiment.

As they say in Turkey, may Nephan rest in peace and be surrounded by angels. She certainly has illuminated many lives and shared her good fortune with all who knew her. She will be missed. Nipom, you will always be with me.
