One year later, today,
Gripping the reality – a struggle
Awakening from this dream – a wish
To have, hold, never let go….
Separated by destiny,
Love grows unbound,
Hearts embrace dearly,
Minds wish eternal peace,
Remembered, loved, admired,
Your sweet young life celebrated,
Now and continually….
Samir your love is our guiding light!

M I R …………… from “Jajjy”
Help me O loved one to shake off this ugly dream
And wake in the Real world with thee,
For the taste of that Reality we yearn, from the pit of our tummy
Guide me with thy hidden hand, touch me with thy pure and loving laughter,
As I slowly mend the broken fabric of life
Be the Father and let me be the playful Child
So I may see the world again for the first time with your Vision
Every moment joined to the next in Time's endless cycle

Dearest Sweetest Samir,
We hold on to your memories!
Every moment of our lives –
we miss you and think of you… remember you and wish we were together. . .
How we long to see –
your sweet smile… the glitter in your eyes,
hear your loving young voice… your joyous laughter from the heart
and so much more…
One whole year has nearly gone by-
yet it is hard to believe that you were snatched away…
very very very far away, forever and forever….
How we wish you were nearby and so you could quickly come back…
How we wish you were here, how we wish you were here.
How impossible it is to come to terms -
with this heart wrenching truth, filled with sheer unfairness…
And yet we are left with little choice –
but to accept and simply carry on our mundane lives…
Knowing though for surely –
someday we will meet again… in some unknown place faraway…
And then we can begin again –
where we left off and be able to shower all our love upon you
and then stay together forever after… at last! –
With love and honor for our sweet loving son, Samir

Dear Samir,
I remember 10 years ago I had just moved into the neighborhood and had very few friends. I met Mihir in school then I met his amazing little brother. We used to always play video games and I remember always borrowing and trading them. I wish I had more time in the past few years to come home more often so it would be like back then again. Hanging out with you and seeing you so strong and happy made tough times fade away. You'll always be in our hearts. May you rest in peace.

As one of my good friends from elementary school, I will never forget you and all the good memories that you brought to everyone around you. I truly believe that you are an angel. With your time here on earth you have brought nothing but happiness. You are an inspiration to all of us and I wish you eternal youth, life and happiness.

Samir, I remember the one time we played basketball together. It was only one time and it was a short time together, at that. You asked for my name and I told you it. The next time I saw you at the park, you said hi to me and you even remembered my name. I was pleasantly surprised. You made the best of your time and lived life to the fullest; now you can rest in peace.

Samir,
I've known you for quite some time now, and we have had some great times. I think one of
my most vivid memories of you is from way back in early elementary school: we were at your house playing a Harry Potter video game, haha. I remember that when I first found out that you had cancer, I was in utter shock. I couldn't really be...lieve it, and when I finally wrapped my head around it, I just didn't think it was fair. And it wasn't fair. But when I emailed you, and you seemed like nothing happened, you gave me strength. Isn't that funny? You gave me strength in a time where I should have been giving you strength. And of course, we kept in touch over the years. I always enjoyed talking to you on Facebook or shooting some hoops with you. It made me so happy and proud to see you making so many more shots than I could. Every time I talked to you, my respect for you grew, as if that was even possible. You were from all the way back in elementary school and always will be strong, courageous, and inspiring. I hope one day I can positively impact as many people's lives as you have and continue to, Samir. I look up to you. Whenever I find myself wondering "what's the point of it all?" I will remember you and your journey, and you will guide me on my own. You were a bright light in all of our lives Samir, and I know you are in a better place now, still shining your light. In your life, you didn't hate, but you chose to love. You should know that every single person who's life you've touched will continue to spread your message. Rest in peace Samir.

Samir, you will remain one of the strongest individuals i have ever known. Nobodys knows how much you have gone through but you kept fitting. I always remember you as a kind person. I regret not keeping in touch with you, so when i heard what had happened i was in disbelief. You are an inspiration to everyone and we will all miss you very deeply.

Samir,
I always remember seeing you happy whenever I came over to hang out with Mihir. I only wish I had known you better. Even though you were fighting leukemia, it seemed that nothing could faze you. It was really inspiring for me to see that you were living the life of a normal teenager even with all that you were going through. You will be missed dearly, but I know that you're in a better place now. My condolences to Uncle, Aunty, and Mihir. RIP.

Dear Samir,
You were the most resilient kid I have ever known and I could see it from the first day i met you. You had this amazing smile about you, no matter what the circumstances and you showed me the true meaning of joy. You were such a strong boy and as I watched you grow, you became a strong adult. You were always a fighter and... I will never forget the amount of inspiration you gave me. It's a travesty that you had to leave so soon, but I promise you will never ever be forgotten. You and your family will always reside in my prayers, thoughts, and most of all, heart. Rest in peace, little buddy. love you ?

You were a great classmate. I still remember you at Forest Park and how you always knew how to make people laugh. You were always cheerful despite your the struggles you had to face. You were a fighter and a true inspiration. I never thought I'd actually have to say good bye to you. I will pray for you and your family. Thanks for staying so strong for so long. Rest in peace.

Words can't describe how much you were loved by your peers even though it is hard to believe through the amount of greef that people gave you. You are stronger then any of yours and my friends for battling and having fun with is when we went to school together. When we found out at school,we were devistated....... Now you are ab...le to watch out for your loved ones and live pain free with a smile from ear to ear on your face.... Samir, you are stronger then I will EVER be and I am extremely sorry to hear about you. May you rest in peace and live on in our hearts from now on.... You will be and are missed.......

It always astonished me how you could keep that smile on your face and make others smile while you were at it. This comes as a brutal shock to me and my family, I wish I could do something to bring you back, because you were, and continue to be my role model. If I ever find myself in a difficult situation, I can just imagine ho...w you would smile to get through it. I just can't believe you're gone. You remain with us forever in spirit. You went knowing your family and friends love you. You are an incredible person we can all learn from. All my love to you and your family. Rest in peace

Dear Samir,
I truly admire your strength. That is perhaps an understatement. Although we were only classmates at Forest Park elementary school, I'm glad we were able to remain in contact through facebook. I distinctly remember trying to describe to you where Taiwan was but you said you already knew - how silly of me. I love how you wou...ld update your statuses and send inbox messages so we all know what you're battling against. I'm honored to be able to tell others about you, Samir, the brave and optimistic boy! You are a true inspiration to all of us. I will pray for you and your family, and may you rest in peace, Samir.

Though distance separated us, we did come in contact quite a few times.

You were a happy soul who made your presence felt always. May God bless your soul.

Dear Samir,
You were such a strong individual and I was so glad to have had the privilege to meet you in the second grade. I have seen your true courageness and will power as you fought your illness. I remember seeing you at the park last year and I was so glad to be able to catch up with you and still see that you had a smile on your face. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Rest In Peace.

Samir,
I wish we hadn't lost contact as much as we did as we got older but I'm glad I got the chance to know you when I did. You were such a happy-go-lucky person and were always a joy to talk to. I remember back in elementary school when we used to hang out. In fact, I remember a particular time when I went over to your house and w...e played for hours. I rarely went to other people's houses when I was in elementary school so it really meant a lot to me that you gave me that chance. You were a great friend and you are truly an inspiration Samir. I wish I could have just a small fraction of determination and perseverance that you possessed. I know that all your hard work and friendliness will not go unanswered and you are in a better place now. God bless to you and your family. I wish I could make it to the service, however I'm at school and cannot make it physically. I will be thinking and praying. Rest in peace Samir.

Rest in peace, Samir. You were an inspiration to us all and constantly reminded us to never take anything for granted. You were simply amazing and always put others above yourself, even with everything that you were dealing with. It is extremely unfortunate that whatever happened, had to happen to you. Thank you for being a true friend and caring person. You will certainly be missed, god bless you and your family.

May you rest in peace, and continue to be an inspiration for the many people you have touched with you kindness.

Lots of love!!

Samir, I am here to say that I am proud of you for never giving up your will to survive. I can't think of anybody who has sacrificed soo much yet lived their life to fullest, despite the odds. I remembered how much you loved the Mortal Kombat series and how you owned me in MK2 Arcade in Satviks party. It was a fun experience and I wil...l never forget how happy you were playing it. Your dedication and perseverance to finding a cure has taught me that you should never give up, even in the face of peril. To us all, you are a martyr of bravery,the epitome of why you should never give up in life.Your a hero to all 343 friends on facebook and most of all, your my good friend. I hope you enjoy heaven and rest in peace.

Samir, you defined the meaning of a warrior. You were one of the most legit people I have ever met. You were true to everyone around you, but most importantly, you were true to yourself, something many of us today fail to do. I'm still in shock of your passing, and its definitely something difficult for me to comprehend. All those fun times we had back in forest park elementary, living the good life. Your fight against leukemia is absolutely inspirational. Wherever you are, we all send our love out to you man, just as you loved each and every single one of us. ?

I regret not getting to know you better, but you have taught me that no matter what, there is kindness and pure good in this world. Thank you for that lesson. Although I never met you in person, everyone that we knew mutually always had good things to say about you. That's how I know I can say that, right now you're in a better place. Rest in peace Samir, I hope to meet you next time around.

Dude, I still can't believe you're gone so suddenly. I've known you since elementary school, and you were strong, even back then. I still remember how everyone used to play basketball at FP, and I also remember how we used to play games like foosball at your house too. I especially remember the time when you came to my birthday party ...in 6th grade at Karts n' Golf, and, along with everyone else, took the golf balls out of the bushes and everything so we could keep on playing. I remember that you also had a lot of fun while playing with the bumper cars.
You've been fighting for quite a while, and I have to say that you never gave up, even if the odds were against you. That is what I admire about you the most. If you can read this, you can see how much everyone (including me) is going to miss you. Rest in peace bro.

Samir I will always remember how you managed to bring everyone to a smile with your contagious smile.

You will be missed. May you rest in peace.

It's hard to find words to describe a person as strong and unique as you. I'll never forget all the times we played basketball or hung out with Indy and Darshan at the park or the roof. I can say with the utmost honesty that you were one of the bravest people i've ever met in my life. You will be missed.
Mikhail Crosby
May 7, 2011
Samir. We spent quite some days in the summer playing basketball. I've never seen any one push himself as hard as you did. You motivated me to push myself besides all my sores and pains. To us bro, you're an inspiration. You lasted through everything that was put in front of you and we all admire you for that. You fought everything with all your heart and you're in a better place now. Everyone's going to miss you, but we'll all remember you.
Best wishes to your family,
Alexander Yin
May 7, 2011
Samir, the first time I met you was probably on Moder Warefar 2. And I must apologize for how I was back then. I judged you without knowing you and how strong you really are. Then I met u at Satvik's birthday party and I over heard Indy talking to Anand and some other people about how strong you were, I didn't understand at the time, ...but I started to later. Then I played Basketball with you and your brother at Forest Park and I have to say you were a really great player! You were an awesome teamate too! You were a great human being and a strong warrior as well. May you rest in peace, you will not be forgotten.

I am still in shock! I cannot come to terms and put in words how I am feeling right now. You are, were, an AMAZING person. I've seen people exhibit courage, perseverance, etc. But, you are the epitome of all of these. You taught me to keep trying, and never give up. You're, by far, the strongest person I know. When I heard the n...ews yesterday, I remembered all the times from the fourth grade, in Ms. Huggins' class. Although you are physically not here with us anymore, your presence will FOREVER be in our hearts. You have inspired, not only me, but many, many other people. Rest In Peace Samir.

You're still the bravest guy I know, real talk. Growing up with you, man, I've really come to respect you. You never gave up. You were always looking forward to the next time you could go to FP and hit up the basketball courts. I was lucky to catch you a few time there too! But honestly, I think you're the toughest guy I know. You never let go. Nobody can say they've gone through anything like this. You're always gonna be there in my heart reminding me to never give up. Rest in peace, bro.

Dear Samir, I remember back in the days of Forest Park you were always looked upon as a strong idol, battling through every single obstacle with everything you've got.

Our paths crossed in the most unlikliest of circumstances.I remember it was at Kaiser where we finally met and became good friends. Everytime I came to the clinic i looked forward to meeting you. We became hospital buddies. I remember the times when we used to play HALO and COD late at nights. Good times. From day one, I knew ...you were a fighter . You fought all the way till the end. Your positive atttitude not only motivated me, but the many around you. You are one of the most kindest and strongest indivudals i have ever met and will meet. Your memorie will always have a place in my heart. I am proud to call you my friend Samir.. Rest in Peace bro.

Samir when I found out about what happened I was in shock. You were truly a warrior and fought through your problems no matter what happened. You were so outgoing I remember hanging out with you, and playing basketball with you at Forest Park as if it were only yesterday. Although you have passed away your story will remain in the hearts of many; a story of courage, perseverance, and strength may you Rest In Peace.

Words can't describe what I am feeling right now Samir. When I found out about your passing, my heart just dropped. You were so strong, always battle ready, and you never let your hopes down. I remember all the times we went to Forest Park, and we would chill near the benches while watching all our buddies go on top of the roof. How I... used to be scared of going up, and you always pushing me and trying yourself to get up. I remember when we met at Satvik's house that day, and we talked about video games and became friends instantly. Samir, you will be missed, and you will live on forever in our hearts. We are going to meet again on the other side and play COD!
Rest in Peace bro.

Some people touch your life for one moment and disappear the next. Samir, for as long as I've ever known you, you were always a soldier to me. Your overwhelming positive attitude and your kindness and spirit never faded away despite the challenges you had to bear. You are one of the strongest people I have or ever will have known; it'...s simply so amazing how you could keep fighting and fighting, as if nothing could stop you. I remember the day we came to visit you in the hospital, played COD for hours on end as if we were just sitting in a living room playing like good old friends. But the least I can call you is a friend. You, Samir, are a brother, a mentor - an inspiration, to all of us.
May you rest in Peace.

It's amazing how you are such a strong person. You never talk about negitive stuff and you always be on the positive side. You never talked about giving up even when you were going thru such a tough time. Because of you, i learned a lot of stuff about life. You may be gone physically but you are still in everyone's heart..

I will never forget coming over to your house when we were both only about three or four years old and playing board games like monopoly. You were the one of the first friends I ever had and I will never forget the good times we shared together in Ardenwood. You are an inspiration to us all. May you rest in peace.

The first time we met was at Nihar Patwardhan's tenth birthday. You were the first person to ever hear my rap and compliment me. I will never forget that day we talked on those swings. I used to always see you at the park every time I went and it just won't be the same without you anymore. I remember you used to always ask me about wh...at rap I'm going to make next and you were always supportive of my music and ideas. You are one of the kindest people I have ever known and to know that you have struggled so much makes me live life thinking that if you could go through all that with a smile on your face until the end, then I should be able to live my life without complaining. Thanks for not only being a good friend-but for being a teacher. You will be missed. Rest in peace bro.

Samir,
The park will never be the same without you. I still remember our times playing basketball and even our late night xbox games. People define the strongest people as those who are the fittest, I define the strongest person as you. Someone who kept fighting and never gave up. Someone who had an army of friends who believed in him. Someone who was brave and courageous right until the end. Samir, I will never forget our friendship for as long as I live.

Samir,
You are the strongest person I have ever known. From the moment I walked in to visit you when I was a volunteer at Kaiser, I automatically knew that you were special to me. I remember the times when we talked about how much we enjoy watching the NBA and how much we love the Lakers. Those little moments with you will always stay with me. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers! May you rest in peace and lay with all the angels in heaven.

I've come to realize we take many things granted in life. We should never worry or fret upon the unfortunate things that have come to past, but instead must will on, and smile, with an optimism and perseverance to see past the hardships. Samir, you are, were, and will be that person to me. You are my definition of a warrior, resilient... and fearless in the face of hardship. For all my life I've looked up to you and wished I could be as brave as you. I can still remember the first days we met, playing Super Nintendo, basketball, and living our life to the fullest. Those were some of the greatest, most memorable days of my life. I know now you are in a much better place, and I will forever hold you in my heart, because you are my sole inspiration to "keep on". I know not where my life will take me, but the next time I finally get to see you, I know we will have a lot of catching up to do. Until then, Rest In Peace Samir Pendse, my friend, my hope, my brother.

Samir, I've known you for 11 years, and NOT ONCE in those 11 years, did you stop showing your kindness and ability to persevere. You have been, are, and always will be the strongest person I know. You showed such elation toward life, no matter how cruel it was to you; it's an amazement. You are a source of inspiration for me, being a good friend through thick and thin. You will be truly missed Samir. May you rest in peace.

Forest Park isn't going to be the same without seeing you around there anymore =/ I wish I could've known you even longer, you are an amazing individual to have to go through what you have, and still come outside so often and make the best of your time making friends and having fun. You've earned the admiration and respect of countless friends. Rest in peace.

Your courage and bravery is an inspiration to me. For someone who had such an enthusiasm to live and enjoy life, life was unfairly taken from you far too early. You are a credit to our family. You have a very special place in all our hearts as a loving young man who was so fond of his family and friends. Life will not be the same without you
Rest in peace
