I just across this announcement and offer my condolences to the family. My sister Rita Marballi was a very good friend of the Luthra family when they lived in Wausau, WI. Sadly, Rita also passed away from cancer in 2010. Rest in Peace.

Madhu was a wonderful pediatrician who was always willing to come in late at night to see sick kids. She never once complained.
She was a great teacher as well. As a family physician just starting out, I benefited from her experience and wisdom.
One always knew that she adored her husband and daughters. Truly, she was a role model and she will be well remembered. Sympathies to Vinay and the family..

Dr. Luthra was such a kind, loving doctor. My kids really liked her, and we were all saddened when she had to leave the clinic. She was truly one of the best doctors that I have had the privilege of knowing. My sympathies to her entire family.
