We love you very much Meema and you will always live in our hearts.
Lots of Love to the entire family!
Ryan and Jacob
I remember growing up I would always be so excited when Daadi came to visit me. Without even giving her a chance to unpack, I would bug her to play snakes and ladders with me. She was always happy to play with me and despite my obvious cheating, still let me win. I will always remember the Aloo Paratha she would make me, and because of her that is one of my favorite Indian dishes.
The amount of love she gave is something that I will forever be grateful for.
I spent a fair bit of time around Dear Sau Aunty, (that’s how she was commonly addressed by most of her nieces and nephews), mostly during the 80’s, I’d say, when a did many a sleepover at the Gagan Vihar house. She was always kind, loving and a doting Aunt. I can still recall her and Vishin Uncle lovingly addressing me as Tannu Bete…a sound, I will recall with great fondness.
With fond remembrances,
Tarun
We love you and wish you eternal peace in this next journey of yours, Sau Mami. Om Shanti. 🙏🏼

Bhagwad Gita Chapter 2, Verse 20: The soul is neither born, nor does it ever die; nor having once existed, does it ever cease to be. The soul is without birth, eternal, immortal, and ageless. It is not destroyed when the body is destroyed.
A very strong lady who was rightfully proud of her Son AJ. Her heart was filled with joy when she was mentioned by her own on how well she had done and how high up her son AJ was in his carrier and yet so grounded. Those are Mom blessing at work.
I will remember the warm smile that crossed her face when she greeted you. Whether it was to sit down and share a meal or play Mexican Train Dominoes, she had a joy for life that continuously erupted into laughter. Savitri was a strong woman who fought a brave battle with cancer and never lost that smile. Peace be with you my dear.
Mrs. Gehani a.k.a. Meemaw was such a tender, loving, sweet woman who cherished her boys and their friends. I will always remember sweet smile & hugs.
Sau must have had the makings of a caring nurse from an early age. We,the refugees from Sindh, were accommodated in Dholpur House for a few years after partition. I remember having fallen from some height on a sharp object while playing in the precincts as a 3-4 year old child .I was bleeding profusely from the forehead. Sau, who must have been 14-15 years then and whose family were neighbours, noticed me and immediately brought me home in her arms without a care for her dress getting drenched in my blood. She stayed around till I was attended to by a doctor.
The sweet memory- and the scar on the forehead- will persist . Rest in peace Sau.
