Jaya Patel

Jaya was a wonderful friend and co-worker. She was a gentle soul who enjoyed helping others and made our work less tedious through her humor and personality. She would often remind me, during our travels to various agencies, that I was "driving Ms Jaya"(reference the the movie of similar title), or remind me that I was her "international sibling". I will miss her greatly.

Jaya masi will be missed dearly. My fondest memories of Jaya Masi are when we lived in India. Every time we spoke on the phone, it did not seem as if we have not met in years. I remember during one conversation with her, she told me that she took Gnan from Deepakbhai which blew my mind because I have taken Gnan as well. May you attain Moksha and your soul rest in peace!!!

Jaya was a woman of passion, energy and love. She worked so hard to help improve the lives of others yet always had love, an electric smile and a contagious laugh to help through the challenging times. Her Life Made a Difference in this World! She will be missed by many,including me. May you find peace in your memories and knowing that you were loved by her.

My thoughts and prayers are with Jaya, her family and her co-workers. Jaya was a generous, kind, ferocious advocate for people with mental illness and for the organizations serving them. I respected her a great deal for many years and will miss her greatly.

Jaya was a great friend of mine for over 50 years, she was a wonderful person and was always there for everyone. She will be missed.

I am sorry for your loss. Jaya Masi was a wonderful person, even though we had not met in years every time we spoke it was like the connection was always there.

My sincerest condolences to Jaya's family, friends, and colleagues. She truly cared about the people she served, held friendship close to her heart, and genuinely cared about the wellbeing of those of us around her. My heart is grieving. I will miss you, my friend.

I am so sorry for your loss. Jaya was dedicated to those we in the Division of Mental Health served. We will all miss her. I hope that your memories and the love of those around you help you through this.
