Her legacy lives on through her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.
Rest peacefully, dear mother, granny and great-granny. Your love was a gift, and your memory will always be cherished. Forever in our hearts, forever loved.”

“No words can ever express the pain and sadness everyone feels knowing you are no more. The memories you embedded in every heart bear testimony of the person you were. Your wealth in life was not materialistic, but it was in the kind and caring heart you shared. Your sudden passing still seems so unreal. You always ended a conversation with ‘I love you,’ and today, we all say to you, ‘We love you.’ Mum and Dad feel the pain of losing the son who held the family together, Shashenka and Dayhaan feel the loss of the light of their world and we cannot accept our brother is no more. May your spirit live in all the hearts you touched. Love you, Urie.”
Forever remembered by:
Premie and Dashie (Mum and Dad), Shashenka (Wife), Dayhaan (Son), Shakeel (Brother), Vasheen (Sister), nieces; Mikayla, Umishika and Sohini as well as your many other family members and friends.”
