I have purposefully not written an entry yet. I still need some time to gather my thoughts. While I did not raise you or even spend an inordinate amount of time with you as you were so far away I considered you a daughter and always sought to treat you as such. I only got to spend a few hours alone with you over the years and those times were filled with fun and empathy. You were a soft, sweet woman with a huge amount of love which you shared with thousands of needy caring animals and children. There were always needy baby animals of every kind in your home which you were caring for. You gave freely and without thought for yourself even until the end. Your relationship with Kishore was the sweetest I have ever seen. You had a way of letting him be the head of the house and yet you guided him in every way. I am saddened for him beyond belief as I know the experience he has to move forward with. I know that you would want him to remember you always with love & laughter in lieu of tears. I reserve the right to add my feelings in the future as now it is painful to even look at your picture. I was here and you were there even in the last year not through choice. I need some time to put more into words. God speed MAD, until we meet again! MO
