May everyone hold in their hearts only the happy memories and love shared with Dad over the years.

Our deepest condolences. We are moved to see the departure of our dearest friend; he has been a very special being for us, as well as for so many other friends here in Puerto Rico. We know that at some point we also will be going through this path, it is normal, but still goodbyes are always painful. We must have resignation and trust that all this pain will pass, and perhaps soon understand that he is no longer suffering, that he is fine, and that he only expects that all of us are fine too. Blessings, Satsavya, Narayan, and Utsang
