Baa was nurturing, generous, full of love for all of her family and always smiling. She doted on each of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren and found great joy in looking after all of us. She laughed with us, played cards with us, and took every opportunity to feed us. Such was her maternal and caring nature. She loved chatting on the phone and sharing memories and stories. Together with Bapuji, Baa built a great life for us. We will all miss her dearly and remember her in our hearts with so much fondness and love.
