I grieve with you for the loss of such a remarkable person. May you find comfort through family/friends support and precious memories of times shared with Minal. Please do not become filled with bitterness but instead love like there is no tommorow. We don't know why such tragedies happen, but through such pain we need to create positive change. My faith has me believe that you will be reunited again someday. Please accept my prayers and love.
