She had endless compassion. Her generous and loving soul has no match. She always put the needs of others before hers. She had no malice towards anyone. Her optimism and sense of humor in the most adverse circumstances are inspiring to us all. Throughout her long fight with cancer, she never made us think she was suffering or in pain. She never complained. We were lucky to have spent the time that we did with her, albeit short. She had the warmest hugs and the cutest of smiles. She was really cool and would send the best emojis when she got a hang of text messaging. We will miss chatting with her, playing monopoly deal with her, watching Netflix shows with her, hugging her, listening to her stories and her warm embrace and her unconditional love. She was the best and the coolest mom anyone could ask for.Our mom was the best daughter, sister, wife, mom, grandma and friend anyone could ever have. It is really difficult to imagine in a world like the one we live in today, how one person can possess so many good qualities. She was more alive every day than a lot of people even younger than her. She smiled through all the hardships that life threw her way and emerged victorious with her infectious positive attitude. She loved the arts and nature and appreciated all things good. Her selfless nature, politeness, ever smiling face, kindness, positivity, strength, perseverance and sense of humor is a legacy that we will cherish all our lives. Our mom was an amazing woman with a heart of pure gold and will be greatly missed by one and all. We could easily type an essay here but in short, there is no doubt she has made us who we are today, and I hope we make her proud by emulating even one of her many qualities.Love you mom, Preeti, Simi and Jassu & Duke. Lots of hugs and kisses
