""One sees clearly only with the heart. Anything essential is invisible to the eyes". Antoine de Saint-Exupery The Little Prince My dear Prafulla, You always saw everything so clearly with your heart. You showed us how big a heart can be, always thinking of others, always bringing joy. Thank you for showing me the way of true motherhood until the end. We were given these treasures and we are faced with all the tribulations and worries of lives that will forever be part of us. The happy moments, the trials of school, friends, careers, love and marriage. I reminded you many times how well you did with your children and the ones that were yours in your heart. The best example is that one that needed a big brother and lots of guidance. He got that and more from you! Yes, you showed me well my dear friend, my heroine, in the good times and in the hard times of your journey. I finally understood the third or fourth time you told me your were "the Boss", and therefore, I needed to wait for my instructions. Yes, you realized the burden was all yours. However, the love and dedication of your children, family and friends was beyond your control. It was natural and well deserved. You will always be with us, and especially with the children in every step of their lives. Yes "Boss", I will not rest reminding them of your love and dedication. But I will not have to do that...they know, and they will feel your presence always! With love, Yasmin"

"Dear Pafuben Your presence in our lives was one of happiness, laughter, love and comfort. Your incredible strength during your battle provided us all with inspiration and strength to fight through anything. Your determined spirit throughout everything was incredible.You may not be with us in the physical sense, but your sweet memories will never leave us. We pray to God that nothing tarnishes your spirit and memories and that He provides nothing but peace and happiness to you. With love Heena, Arjun and Suraj Hansalia"

"Dear Pafu, You will surely be missed.You have faced the situation very bravely and surrender to the God. May God rest your soul in peace.May god give all of us in the family strength and courage to face the difficult situation. With Love - Ashok & Jayshree Patel"

"Those we love don't go away, They walk beside us every day, Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed and very dear. "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal.""

"Dear Pafuben, We will miss you but your memories will always be with us. I know you faced the situation so bravely and everyone else did the best they could but God's will is what we all have to surrender to. You are in our prayers and I pray to God to give all of us in the family the strength to face the situation just as bravely as you did and help us cherish all those good memories for the time we spent together. Love Gautam, Trupti and Ishaan"

"Dear Pafuben, We will miss your sense of humor and the laugh that you always had on your face. We will always remember this and plenty of funny moments that we had together. Our prayers are with you and all the loved once. May god give courage and strength in this time to all of us."

"My Dear Pafu (Prafulla)... First, I want to thank God for granting me the opportunity to spend some time with Pafu. I always remember her smiling face, funny jokes and statements that kept atmosphere around her happy and joyful. As I reflect on our time together, I remember one day she woke-up and asked me to come close to her. She whispered in my ear "since "Ba" is not here, can I put you in her place? " I was so happy to receive that honor and privilege. Another day, out of blue - smilingly she said to me "Mami, this body is not working properly, should we let it go?' I knew the treatment was difficult and she was under a lot of pain. I said everyone near and dear to you is working hard to fix it. Let's work together to make it better, and then if it does not work, you can let it go! She laughed and said to me "that sounds like a good plan!" I was amazed at her spiritual development and how easily and freely she was talking to me about a very serious subject. She did not have any fear, attachment, regret or remorse. I knew she was going through very difficult time, but she never complained, not even once, and faced all challenges with deep faith, spiritual understanding, and strong will. Night before her final breadth, I was fortunate to hear over the phone a few faint words coming from her. I realized our time for earthly talk was soon coming to an end. Whole night I felt I am in contact with her and we were talking to each other. So my dear Pafu... even your body is not with us today, you are always going to be with us in Spirit whenever and wherever we want. I will not spoil all those wonderful memories with grieving and mourning, with sadness or tear; but I will cherish your freedom and your journey towards eternal peace. God's grace will always be with you and with all your loved ones who will always feel your presence in their prayers. With Love - Mami (Rasila) "

"My deepest condolences over the loss of Prafulla. May the warmth of family and friends help ease your grief. Draw close to God in prayer. He is a comforter of all those who mourn. In His Word the Bible, God tells us of a brighter future when our loved ones will awake from their restful sleep to enjoy life in paradise. John 11:11; Matthew 5:5; Revelation 21:3,4. Many are finding solace in this promise. I pray that you will also. Galatians 1:3."

"Narindra, Vivek, Tulsi & family, No words to convey the depth of sorrow & pain... we can only find solace in that your beloved was a true angel and was but a visitor here on earth. We were graced with her exquisite beauty, joyful spirit & sincere love & warmth, we should only hope to be more like that... we believe praful means giver, prafula means small lamp - no doubt she gave light to so many lives on her journey here. We�?'--you dearly."
