    To my loving sister Karan. We will miss you so much. You and I always seemed to be the moderators between the sisterhood. Who is going to keep your coffee clutch together now? I am taking your advice from a few days ago and getting our financial affairs in order. This was so sudden, none of us know how to react. Maybe it’s time for a visit to the “seerer”.

    We are so sorry for the loss of your mom, grandmother, and sister.
