My sincere condolences the Anands and Raj:
I hope the many wonderful memories of Seema help you through this terribly sad time. I am strengthened by memories of Seema, resplendent in a beautiful sari, dancing with women in African boubous and South American capes, at CEDPA international night. I think of her sharing dirty jokes, howling with laughter. I remember her amazing training skills, helping a group of youth workers explore ways to stop the spread of AIDS. Her life touched so many people around the world – the U.S., India, Egypt, South Africa, Ghana, Nepal, Nigeria, the list goes on and on. Her friendship, dedication, and incredible skill made a true difference in the world. Thank you for sharing her with us. My very best to you, Sarah.

Dear Uncle and Aunty, Raj, Vidhu and Madhu
At this sad time, our thoughts are with you and our prayers of comfort and hands of support reach across the miles. Take comfort in knowing that you have all generously shared with us a wonderful daughter, wife and sister. Seema left an indelible mark on everyone who met her, and a permanent place in the hearts of those of us fortunate enough to call her friend. Through her generous spirit, we are honoured that friendship with her has also meant friendship with you all.
Seema my dearest, Hamba Kahle.

Dear Seema,
I will always, always treasure our friendship. We shared a lot of laughter and some tears at times, too, but everything we shared just brought us that much closer together. The impact you made on improving the lives of others, especially girls and women, worldwide will grow and live on, too. Thanks for sharing all you did with me. Whenever we had a chance to spend time together, we didn't miss a beat. I love you!

Dear Raj, Vidhu, Madhu , Uncle and Aunty:
We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Though we had met Seema only a couple of times, we admired her vibrant nature, and the courage and determination she showed in enjoying life in spite of the problems she faced. We hope you can find the same courage and strength in supporting each other during this difficult time.

Dear Seema,
You were extraordinary in so many ways, but that did not change your ability to be a great friend and confidant to the most ordinary among us. I will not be able to replace your friendship. In addition to your dedication to your family and work, I will always remember the way you loved gold and shoes and Thai food and Indian spices and manicures and shopping and movies and DANCING!
Until we meet again.
Deborah
