Sameer Talwar Obituary
He entered the world on January 3, 1990 with youthful exuberance and lived a short but fulfilling life. He left us doing what he loved the most, spending tine with his friends.
Sameer was a good son, brother and friend. The world was his playground, and things came naturally to him. He was exceptional both in the classroom and on the field, a great student, he was also a three sport athlete.
Whether Sameer was watching basketball with his brother, hugging his mom or joking with his dad, he acted with all of his heart. He will always be remembered as the gregarious kid who made everyone smile.
Sameer will be forever missed by his parents Tara and Rajesh Talwar; brother Nikhil Talwar; grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.Services: Visitation from 10 to 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 19th, 2006, service at 2 p.m. at FOREVER Bellerive Funeral Chapel, 740 N. Mason Rd. Contributions to John Burroughs High School Scholarship Fund would be ap preciated. Arrangements provided by the CREMATION SOCIETY of St. Louis.

Sameer crossed my mind today and I found this website when I searched his name. To all the family and friends, my deepest condolences. I was a friend of his at Burroughs. He was awesome... It has been so long... I know time makes it easier to deal with, but I'm sure it never stops hurting. May you continuously find strength in remembering how happy he always seemed to be!
How you can show support

Sameer, Seven long years have gone by and the Daffodils are not out yet this year. Found some stems and am watching them unfurl- they were your favorite.

Sameer-
You will truly be missed more than anyone thought possible, your absence has moved all of us in different ways, but the one consistency is our love for you. In band 500 miles high just isn't the same without you, but we're going to play it in the hope to honor you even though it won't sound the same. Your absence is felt everywhere everyday and we all miss you so much. To the Talwar family- Sameer was the type of person i could always count on for a smile and a laugh during class or a classic rap during chemistry. His memory is living on through all of the burroughs community and most of all through his friends. I know there is nothing i can do to ease your pain, but you are continually in my thoughts and prayers. Sammer i love you and miss you - monica

Sameer,
As one of your oldest friends, I would just like to say that throughout our history whether at the times we were close, or the times we weren't as much, I am glad I got the opportunity to spend enough time around you to be inspired by your charisma and likeability. Every single person who knew you is made worse by your absence, I am so sorry you were not given more time here. Sleep in peace bro.

You will never begin to understand the impact you left on me and so many others. The memories we shared will remain in my heart as a constant reminder of how truly wonderful you really were. It saddens us all that you left us so soon, however, your vibrant presence will continue to guide us during this rough time.
Be sure to stay "superfly."
We love you and miss you.

Sameer,
You were a great friend to everyone. You were one of the best people i've ever known because you were so friendly, outgoing, funny, and a good leader. It saddens me that you left us so soon but someday we will all meet again. Until then, may you rest in peace. You will truly be missed so much and will forever remain in everyone's hearts and in my prayers, always. <3
To The Talwar Family:
Sameer was a truly exeptional person, always smiling, always making others smile. That smile will never leave my memory. Sameer will always be in my heart and prayers forever. I am so sorry for your loss of Sameer. It was such a pleasure to have known him.

Dear Dr. Talwar and family, I did not know your son, however you have been such a compassionate and kind
physician, I am certain Sameer was a beautiful child and the light of your life. I have worried many nights, when my own children would be a few minutes late. I cannot begin to understand your agony. Please know that the many lives you and your son have touched are better for having known you both,
if that can be any consolation.
My sincerest and deepest sympathy.

Dear Talwar Family:
My sister in law Pat McGillick and brother Jay informed us of your great loss. We have two sons, one a 17 yr old junior at CBC.

We grieve your loss and hope the love that surrounds you will help somehow get you through the journey you never expected nor asked for. Our deepest sympathies,
Jan McGillick, Bruce Bradley and our sons Tim and Sean.
