Nand Persaud
February 10, 1950 - December 31, 2010

"I remember the first time I visited Florida.. Uncle Nand showed me his secret stash of coca cola, lol.. then he taught me how to do the backstroke.. Then he we going to fort lauderdale beach and he gave me my first driving lesson. I was 13... that was the best summer I ever had. Uncle Nand taught me what it was to be a man, he always said education comes first and no one can take that away. I chose the best guru.. afterall God only wants the best... Uncle Nand, I know you can hear me and I just want you to know that I will never forget anything that you taught me and I will always strive to be the best."

"I will remember your smile. i love you uncle Nand- you raised a wonderful family had an angel for a wife and you will live forever in our hearts."

"Dear Narendra, Thinking of you and your Family at this time of sorrow Carrie & Ed Daughtery (Friends of Narendra)"

"Instead of flowers, Nand's family would like guests to make a donation to the ALS foundation."

"In lieu of floral arrangements, Nand's family would prefer if you made a donation to the MDA/ALS foundation."

""When I Must Leave You" When I must leave you for a little while Please do not grieve and shed wild tears And hug your sorrow to you through the years But start out bravely with a gallant smile: And for my sake and in my name live on And do all the things the same Feed not your loneliness on empty days, But fill each waking hour in useful ways, Reach out your hand in comfort and in cheer, And I in turn will comfort you and hold you near: And never, never be afraid to die, For I am waiting for you in the sky!"

"Let Me Go We've known lots of pleasure, At times endured pain, We've lived in the sunshine And walked in the rain. But now we're separated And for a time apart, But I am not alone- You're forever in my heart. Death always seems so sudden, And it is always sure, But what is often forgotten - It is not without a cure. I'm walking now with someone , And I know He'll always stay, I know He's walking with you too, Giving comfort everyday. There may be times you miss me, I sort of hope you do, But smile when you think of me, For I'll be waiting for you. Now there's are many things for you to do, And lots of ways to grow, So get busy, be happy, and live your life, Miss me, but let me go."

"To My Dearest Family Some things I'd like to say But first of all to let you know That I arrived okay I'm writing this from Heaven Where I dwell with God above Where there's no more tears Or sadness there Is just eternal love Please do not be unhappy Just because I'm out of site Remember that I'm with you Every morning, noon and night That day I had to leave When my life on Earth was through God picked me up and hugged me And He said I welcome you It's good to have you back again You were missed while you were gone As for your dearest family They'll be here later on I need you here so badly As part of My big plan There's so much that we have to do To help our mortal man Then God gave me a list of things He wished for me to do And foremost on that list of mine Is to watch and care for you And I will be beside you Every day and week and year And when you're sad I'm standing there To wipe away the tear And when you lie in bed at night The days chores put to flight God and I are closest to you In the middle of the night When you think of my life on earth And all those loving years Because you're only human They are bound to bring you tears But do not be afraid to cry It does relieve the pain Remember there would be no flowers Unless there was some rain I wish that I could tell you Of all that God has planned But if I were to tell you You wouldn't understand But one thing for certain Though my life on Earth is o're I am closer to you now Than I ever was before And to my very many friends Trust God knows what is best I'm still not far away from you I'm just beyond the crest There are rocky roads ahead of you And many hills to climb But together we can do it Taking one day at a time It was always my philosophy And I'd like it to be for you too That as you give unto the World So the world will give to you If you can help somebody Who is in sorrow or in pain Then you can say to God at night My day was not in vain And now I am contented That my life it was worthwhile Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile today So if you meet somebody Who is down and feeling low Just lend a hand to pick him up As on your way you go When you are walking Down the street And you've got me on your mind I'm walking in your footsteps Only half a step behind And when you feel the gentle breeze Or the wind upon your face That's me giving you a great big hug Or just a soft embrace And when it's time for you to go From that body to be free Remember you're not going You are coming here to me And I will always love you From that land way up above We'll be in touch again soon. P.S. God sends His Love"
