I was so saddened to hear that your mom passed away. Your mom was my mentor ( she didn't know it) thru the four years she & I taught Pre-K. I wouldn't have made it without her. Our prayers are with all your family. Peace be with everyone.

I will miss my dearest sister Usha...she was the most loving, caring and affectionate person in my life. She used to care for me since I was a child, held my hand while going to school and looked after me (and she was only 10 years old). She always was the person I looked up to...laughed with and shed tears with. I know that God will want to keep her in heaven to make heaven a better place. Love you Sis...hope we will meet someday.

My dear friend Usha, I will miss you every day from this day on. You made me laugh every time we were together, or talked on the phone. From the start of our friendship we shared a special bond, and as you always said, we just seemed to "click". I know that you are truly happy now, and in the arms of your loving husband. Thank you for being my friend. Milind, Maneesha, Tracy, Steven, Sami, and Jake, my deepest sympathy. Your Mom loved you all so very, very much.

Maneesha, Milind and family, we are sending our deepest sympathy to you. Your mom was a wonderful woman, and it was a privilege to know her. We will never forget her generosity in purchasing an extra hour at our wedding reception in order to let the party to go on! That was her-- enjoying life and giving to others.

I was very fond of Dr. and Mrs. Joshi - they were very kind to me when I first began my pediatric practice in this area. Dr. Joshi taught me many things - his experience helped me develop my medical skills. SO many of our patients were cared for and educated at Apple Acres - we only heard positive comments. She will be missed.Laura J. Bonaker,, MD

Always remember your mom treating us like her own kids. I'm deeply saddened to hear she's gone.
Lots of good times and memories in the Somers Point house, especially when Mom and Doc were away in the Bahamas! Milind, Maneesha and family, our deepest condolences.
Rest in Peace Usha

So many wonderful memories of your mom. She was so excited when you were moving to northfield Maneesha and told me all about you and Sami.
will never forget Sami's birthday in first grade when I had not yet made the connection and your mom came
walking down the steps. I think we were louder than the kids!

My children are now nearly forty years old, one of our lasting memories we have of their early childhood years are the visits to the doctor where Dr. Joshi and Usha would greet and treat our children as if their own. Through the years we have never forgotten their kindness. Two wonderful people whose names we will never forget. Dr. Joshi's passing was a loss to us all in the community and so is Ushas passing. Two wonderful people.

Mrs. Joshi was the greatest! Always a smile on her face, always helpful- my children went to Dr. Joshi, Mrs. Joshi always got us in to see him quickly, and was always a good friend to us- loved running into her around Somers Point, the mall or ShopRite! My kids will be sad when i tell them this news- We loved her!

Milind, Maneesha and family.
Words can't express the sadness that Usha (Mom)is gone. She was always Mom to me, and all the friends alike. She will always be in my heart and memories. We'll miss you Mom.

Mom, thank you for so many memories of all of us laughing until we cried, and everything you did for us. I know you are happily reunited with Sadanand, and still smiling. Love you
