I miss you tonight daddy, so much.
Love you
I have so many things to say to you ....




April 28, 2018

hi daddy ,
I miss you so much. I cant get you off my mind. I cant understand why you're gone, my mind cant wrap about the thought that you are gone from my life, forever. Every time somebody talks about you, the entire rest of my day is ruined. I still feel as though you are with me, except for you aren't here to listen to me complain about stupid things, or to comfort me on my worse days. I am so sad without you, my life will never be the same. You were the best. Regardless of your state of mind or health, you bent over backwards for EVERYBODY that you knew. You have left an empty spot within everybody. There isn't one day where I don't think about you, look for you or wait for you to come home from a listing appointment or the grocery store. I cannot express to you how much I miss you daddy and I hope heaven is as good to you as you were to all the people in your life. I love you so much daddy.

Hi daddy
I sit here tonight in my bedroom and I can't get you off my mind. I miss you so much, I wish I could find a way to talk to you one last time. My mind is stuck on the last conversation we had on December 9th at 10:29 PM where you told me you were cooking yourself a Filet Mignon on the stove. You were and are my best friend, you are the only person in this entire universe that I enjoyed talking too on my bad days. I can't beleive this is reality. I think about you each and everyday and a tear falls from my eyes every time I think of you, which is 24 hours a day; 7 days a week. Mommy is so lonely without you, it breaks my heart to see her so sad. We are trying so hard to comfort her and bring her back to happiness, as you always ensured she was happy and loved. Honey, your favourite little puppy looks out the window all day long, as if she's waiting for you to come home. You left us all in such a shock, and nothing has become any better than the day you left us. I wonder where you are and what your doing, but I know your beside me every step of the way. I love you SO much daddy, I can't explain to anybody what you were; because you weren't just a father....
You were my :
Best Friend
Motivator
Mentor
&& the only person who ever believed in me to follow and push my dreams. I love you so much daddy, xoxox your eldest daughter; bean xoxoxox

I still haven't been back to the cottage since you left, but I promise I'll go soon and enjoy it like I always did. I love you dad. Forever. Thank you for teaching me everything I know and for loving me the way you did and do. Xox

Dearest Ajay,
You left us one and half months ago. It does not seem like you have gone so far away from us. How can we bring you back? You promised us you would come and see us in our new home.
Without telling us you left us to God's place?
We were at your home recently and received the same love from your family that we always do, but you were nowhere in sight. You have given us so many memories dear Ajay.
We don't know where you are but we do know that all the love and gifts you have showered us with, they will all remain in our heart forever.
Wherever you are Ajay, we wish you eternal happiness.
Love
Sharma Auntie and Uncle

My beloved son, who we lovingly called Ajay left us for reasons unknown, to a destination afar.

We are all immersed in tears; with the desire to wail aloud. The height of our cry speaking the depth of our pain.
How are we to embrace and accept this last surprise of yours.

It pains us deeply to say goodbye but we are sending you with our boundless love.
We pray you go with joy and live gleefully with your new family, in that land afar.

You had a unique habit of giving us surprises.
This surprise however has rendered a wound so deep in our hearts.

I wish you had asked for permission before this last surprise. Had I refused your plea to leave, how would you have left us.

Now accept our last reverential Pranaam to your soul.

My beloved son, who we lovingly called Ajay left us for reasons unknown, to a destination afar.

I stand here today with a broken heart. The loss of any of my sons is some thing I could have never prepared for. Even during the past few days, under insurmountable odds, I refused to prepare myself. I wasn't ready. I am still not ready to say Ajay "was". He had so many dreams and so many plans for the future. He is, sorry I meant he was such a very special brand, so different from me and really from most of us.

Ajay, Nimi and I love you with all our heart. We are profoundly proud of you. You have taught me. I will continue to be the best dad I can be to your brothers and your children. I will not let you down. It is now my turn to make you proud. I look forward to seeing again when the time comes for me..

Rest in peace. And never stop swimming in the ocean that you loved most

love always,
Mom and Dad

hi daddy,
its been two weeks since you've left us and I miss you so so much. Words cannot describe how much I miss you, and how much my heart has been shattered. We have been spending a lot of time with the family, loving and remembering you as the great person that you are. Love you so much daddy, first Christmas without you :(.
You are my best friend, forever and always. I used to be your angel, but no.... you are my angel.

We are sending our condolences to the family. Ajay Singhal left a lasting impression with us as a real estate agent of high integrity and honesty in a world where these characteristics are of short supply. We had to move from Ottawa to Vancouver on a quick timeline. He promised he would sell our house quickly. Not only did he succeed in doing that, but the sale was for top dollar as well. We will miss Ajay alot and he will be in our thoughts and prayers. -Daniel and Lorelie

Ajay and the entire Singhal family are like a second family to me. I spent 3 years going to school in Ottawa, living 7 hours away from my own family... and homesick a lot! I spent countless times at their house and cottage and always felt as though I was part of their family. I can honestly say I never felt homesick when I was with them!!
Ajay spent his life caring for his family and everyone else who entered it. He will be sorely missed by everybody who has been touched by Ajay's kindness and generosity.
My deepest condolences to the entire family, I am so happy I can be here with you through this difficult time.
Love always,

Hi Dad. It's Kip . I already miss you so much I can't believe it's true. I still remember everything you taught me whether it's to save my money (because you never spent yours) or to take care of momma bear. I love you and will never forget all the great things you did for everyone you knew. Whether it was a friend or your family, you were always there Dad. Your cooking/cottage/Florida lifestyle will always be in my heart and nobody will ever take your place. You're my forever Daddy. I love you so much. I'll take care of momma forever and ever, just like you planned.
Love Kip.

Hi Daddy.
I can't believe how quickly things changed, but I will continue to tell you that I love you every single day, even if you are no longer here. I am so happy with the amount of time I got to spend with you in the past two weeks. Even though I was extremely busy with school and you were extremely busy with real estate and doing work at home, we still managed to make time for eachother. Last week, you brought me to Home Depot with you and let me pick out the frame that you were going to install for the mirror at home. That night, I started studying for my exam with you. You couldn't believe that I had memorized so much of the content for my exam, and you congratulated me on all my studying. That's a great memory that I will cherish forever, because my hardwork comes directly from you daddy. It's the little things that mean the most to me. The next day, you gave me money and told me to buy that carpet that I always dreamed of having, the one that I previously talked to you about at Home Depot. Then you said happy early birthday vanessa and I was so happy because you showed your love for me in several different ways, every second of every day. Thank you for the early birthday gift daddy. Although you won't be here to spend my birthday with me this weekend, I got to spend 19 years of my life with you and we made so many memories in that time frame. I won't forget the summer nights we spent throwing the baseball back and fourth on the front lawn. I won't forget the support you provided me with at all my volleyball games, always cheering me on in the stands. I also won't forget the many times I dragged you shopping with me, because mom never liked to shop. You were a little girls bestfriend, my anchor and my biggest role model. I'm so happy with the time we spent together, memories that won't be forgotten. I remember the countless times this summer that I begged you to bring me out in the boat on the lake so that I could fish. Even if you didn't want to bring me fishing, you always did. Fishing has always been my favourite pass time, one that grew onto me because of you. We spent hundreds of nights by the lake and you did everything to make me happy. Because making me happy, made you happy. You were a man who always put others before yourself. And I love you for that. You were the type of person that I could lay in bed with all day, and talk to you about all my problems, and you'd never get bored. I will miss you greeting me every time I walked in the door, into the most welcoming and loving home. Your words were How was school Hun? How was work Hun? How was your exam Hun?. You took the greatest interest in my life, and I'm shattered to know that this is reality, a living nightmare that I was not prepared for. You truly were my bestfriend daddy but on the bright side, I am pleased to know that you didn't suffer. You lived a life filled with happiness and love. You loved travelling, the cottage and your home. But more than anything, you loved your family. I made sure to say goodnight to you every single night and you'd reply with the words Goodnight Hun and that always made me feel so special. You never failed at making me laugh. The greatest comedian, the most loving father, and the biggest role model any child could ever ask for. This is the most difficult thing I have ever had to experience, one without warning. But daddy, I won't forget to chase my dreams, like you always taught me to do. study hard vanessa, it will pay off. I love you so much daddy. You may be gone but you are never forgotten.

Sincerely,
Your little girl Vanessa

Dear Singhal family, I was very saddened to hear about Ajay. A trusted friend of 47 years, we had many good times together! I think the most cherished were up at the lake boating with many little ones (8+) in the bow! The BBQs afterwards were always delicious (fresh fish). I know we stopped hanging around for some time, but when I called Ajay a few weeks ago, he invited me over like I saw him yesterday. Please accept the condolences of my family to yours and if there is anything we can do to help in this difficult time, please call.

Daddy, I will miss you forever.
I love you so so much. You are the best friend and my rock. My life will never be the same without you. You were the best man anybody could ever ask for, and beyond the best father. No man will EVER be able to take care of me the way you did. I will remember you every day and every night. You are going to be missed so much by everybody, and I will never ever ever ever forget how much you did for me. I promise you I will carry everything that you taught me throughout my life with me , and every every every day I will close my eyes and talk to you. You have been working so hard to get our home ready to sell, and to prepare the new home for move in, so we will set up something special just for you daddy. ❤❤
I AM SO SAD and heartbroken daddy BUT I AM SO HAPPY THAT YU DID NOT SUFFER, because you always told me that you did not ever want to suffer, and you did not ever want anybody to see you suffer. Mommy will always be my mommy, and your hunny and I promise I will do everything I can to take care of her.
I love you daddy, please come back home.
