Patak family:
My husband and I were blessed to have known Nilima from her days working at the bank. She always came across as a very caring person, who always enquired about our family. We had run into each other quite a few times since then, once on our trip to and fro from India and at times at Meijers. She was so warm and pleasant a person. She did leave a lasting impression in our hearts.
Please accept our heart felt sympathies. Please console yourself knowing that Nilima is now in the loving arms of our Lord.
