I don’t even know where to start. These last few days have been incredibly hard. Thanksgiving was so special for us last year because that was the year when I first got to meet you. Just from that meeting I could tell you cared so deeply for Vikas and Nikhil. You were always so eager to cook delicious food, shower us with presents, and tell us about your stories in India. We were excited to do it all over again this year.
You always called me your daughter and I hope to carry on your legacy in future. I’m praying for you and the Sethi family. May her soul Rest In Peace. Love you.💕

Dearest Nikhil and Vikas and Ashwini Uncle,
I don’t even know where to start… your Mom was one of the most caring, loving people I have ever known. She was part of our family… a sister to both Susie Aunty and George Uncle and like a second mother to Roy and I. She loved Joseph, Arya, and Jaya so much too. Ritu Aunty will forever be in my heart.
May her soul Rest In Peace. I know she will always be watching over the two of you with the biggest smile on her face… she was so proud of you both and you were the light of her life.
Love you guys.
Asha Didi, Joseph, Arya, n Jaya

Vikas and Nikhil,
Your mom had a hilarious sense of humor. Whether she was giving you two crap or making a sassy comment, she had a way of being warm and witty at the same time.
She was generous with her time and especially her food. I’ve told friends that I was so lucky growing up with a conveyer belt of delicious Indian food right to our door. I think that was her love language.
She meant a lot to me and represented a lot of childhood memories. I thought of her as an aunt. It was clear that you two were her life and that she had endless love for you. I think she thought of you as her greatest accomplishment. I don’t know what it’s like to be in your shoes but I hope you find a little more peace every day.

I have just met you once but I remember that we clicked in the very first meeting. Those three days with you were really good. I remember reading your poems and discussing fashion with you. You liked all the earrings that brought with geetika. I remember chatting with you on fb on random topics at 3am. I remember that you love mango icecream and always like buying strawberry vanilla and mango icecream altogether. I will always remember you when I will have mango icecream or banana split..
I will always remember you as a strong woman who speaks her heart.
May your soul rest in peace. May god give strength to family
