Not sure what to say?

dear Sri Nilesh.

pl accept our heart felt condolance on the demise of sri A.N Mathur. i had known him from sixties while working in Hyderabad Allwyn. He always had very special soft corner for me. The most important event in my life would speak of how great person he was in my life.

I left Allwyn in 1976 after working for 20 years when i was general manager to start a small scale industry. APSFC did sanction 4.8 lacs loan but...

Dear Preeti.
So sorry to hear that your dad passed away. I first met him perhaps over ten years ago for a medical consultation. It was such a delightful encounter. I admired his insights and grandfatherly manners. I had the honour to chat with him on several occasions and was impressed with his knowledge particularly poetry and literature.
He will be missed.

Dear Preeti, Anoop, Shruti, Sujan, and Raj.
My heart felt condolences on your loss. I met Dad once about 10 -12 years back at your home and remember him as an easy going and happy person. I am glad to hear that he has departed in the same manner based on the way preeti described it in her note.
My prayers are with the departed soul and with all of you.

Dear Preeti Didi and Family,

I was sorry to hear about the passing of your Dad. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

May you find comfort in the knowledge that Nanaji's legacy lives on in all of you.

Dear Raj Preeti, Anoop, Shruti and Sujan, Our condolence and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I will not forget my interaction with him in discussing multiple topics during some 55+ club gathering and also my personal meeting at Preeti's house at Shoreview.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. I cant believe that Nana is gone. It seems like just yesterday he would ask me how old I was and I'd tell him by holding up my fingers. I remember he would play with and watch me and Sujan. I wish I could have gotten to see him one last time. He will truely be miss.

I visited Mr. Mathur little over a week ago. My brother who had lost his wife recently, was with me. I was very much moved by the care Mr. Anand Mathur showed for my brother and his grieving. To me it was a lesson in caring: "One should always care for others, even if you are in your own death bed." I hope I will keep his last lesson ALWAYS.
