Mamiji, words cannot express the sorrow we feel with your loss. There is an emptiness in our hearts that we must somehow learn to move past in the days to come.

You have always held such a special place in our hearts, and this special bond was marked by the genuine love and affection you always showed us. Growing up, we always knew that for life’s big moments – both happy and sad – we would be together celebrating the good times and supporting each other in the bad. We cherish those times and will be comforted by those memories.

We will miss the wonderful treats you would make for us to show us how much you cared about us. The cakes, cookies, brownies, banana bread, etc. We will miss your fun loving personality, your zest for life, and natural curiosity. We will miss laughing with you, dancing with you, talking and sharing stories with you. We will miss your sweet temperament and how you were filled with compliments for those around you. We will miss your big smile and pure heart.

But most of all, we will miss you. We feel grateful and incredibly blessed that God gave us a Mamiji like you who was so loving and kind. May God bless you and give you eternal peace.

Love you,
Munu

When we lived in the Pittsburgh area, we used to see Umaji (along with her family) off and on. To us, she always came across as a person of grace, charm and dignity. She was as gentle as she was charming. We were not aware of her deteriorating health so the sad news to us was a complete and utter shock. But her loving memory will live on and her extended family will cherish it forever. Om Shanti!
