Not sure what to say?

Dear Veena and Sanjiv: just heard about Vedji as I was trying to look for his phone number.

Condolences to Veena, Sanjiv, Kate and the family. Ved was my apartment mate for two years while at Cornell and then continual friendship ever since! Ved had a great sense of humor. I still repeat the jokes to friends that Ved used to tell as a room mate.

Ved mamaji was the most affectionate and living person in iur family. I fondly remember his India visits and our stay in cornell many years back. Prayers for his soul to rest in peace

Eighteen years ago, I met Ved. We were walking and he stopped and started talking. Such a gentleman and loves people. When people in his community needed care, he would reach to me. Because of him, I had a lot of jobs caring for his friends and I where I am today. He treated me with dignity, respect etc. It´s a blessing meeting you and your lovely wife Veena. I will never forget all you´ve done for me. May you rest In Peace Ved. My deepest sympathy to Veena, Sanjiv and family.

Carl and I are so very sorry to learn of your loss. Please accept our condolences to all the family. We wish you comfort from your good memories. Sincerely, Kathy and Carl Englebardt
