Dear Avi,
Even though you were with us for a short time, you filled world around us with joy and love. We always remember you as bubbly, energetic and cheerful young boy. As we start writing this note we remember scribbled letters that you used to send to Shailendra uncle when you were five…you telling Vaishali aunty to get a boy and not a girl to play with…but when Durga arrived same you became very caring, considerate ‘big brother’ for her! …and even danced to make her laugh!
Today, as we close our eyes, we see all fun-filled memories that you have left for us. So rest our angel, be at peace and let your soul fly free!
We know that from somewhere ‘up above’ you are saying to Aditi and Manish –
“Nahi rahunga mai…tab bhi rahunga tumhare palako tale.
Larjati nami ke katare me ulza ulza….”
with lots of love…
Vaishai Aunty, Shailendra Uncle, Durga and Gargi

Avi, I hope that wherever you are, you are happy. You were and are SO loved, thank you for always being such a kind, gentle human being. From my memories of us together, I always remember we had so much fun :) I remember playing "Lakshmi Lalak" with you, eating Babybels at your house, eating cake with you at my 5th birthday party & arguing about how to pronounce flower in Hindi haha. It is true that when you left Sunningdale, things weren't ever the same again, I missed you a lot. And I still do. I hope that in our next lives, we can meet again, resume our games and have more time together. Thank you for being such a light in our lives <3 To Aditi Aunty and Manish Uncle, thank you for raising such a wonderful human being, I am sending you so much love xx

Message from Avi’s class 5 teacher Mrs Fallon.
Dear Aditi and Manish,
Today I heard the extremely sad news about your lovely son Avi. I can't begin to imagine the heartbreak you are both going through.
I feel so lucky to have known Avi and have very fond memories from our time together in Year 5. When I think of Avi, words that pop into my head include: popular, kind, friendly, caring, very well behaved and a very happy member of Class 5. Avi’s beautiful handwriting always impressed me. To this day, I can still see a smiling Avi enthusiastically playing his beloved cricket (with Tom) in the playground.
I have thought of Avi and you both many times over the years, hoping that life had improved for you all.
I am truly sorry for your loss and will remember you in my prayers.
Kind regards,
Mary Fallon
Aditi
