  3. Our hearts are broken,
    Our tears continue to flow.
    You left us too soon.
    Zubin, Where did you go?
    Such a sweet angel in life,
    A true angel forever,
    You will surely be missed,
    And always remembered.

  4. A Child Loaned

    "I'll lend you for a little time
    A child of Mine." He said.
    "For you to love the while he lives
    And mourn for when he's dead.
    It may be six or seven year
    Or twenty-two or three
    But will you, till I call him back
    Take care of him for Me?

    He'll bring his charms to gladden you
    And should his stay be brief,
    You'll have his lovely memories
    As solace for your grief.

    I cannot promise he will stay
    Since all from Earth return,
    But there are lessons taught down there
    I want the child to learn.
    I've looked this wide world over
    In my search for teacher's true,
    And from the throngs that crowd life's lanes,
    I have selected you;
    Now will you give him all your love,
    Nor think the labour vain
    Nor hate Me when I come to call
    And take him back again?

    I fancied that I heard them say,
    "Dear Lord, Thy will be done,
    For all the joy Thy child shall bring,
    For the risk of grief we'll run.
    We'll shelter him with tenderness,
    We'll love him while we may,
    And for the happiness we've known,
    Forever grateful stay.
    But should the angels call for him
    Much sooner than we planned,
    We'll brave the bitter grief that comes
    And try to understand."

  7. Angels are hard to find.
    Zubin must have been a very special angel for God to call him up so soon.

    There is another bright star in the heavens tonight shining over us.

    Our deepest condolences...

  8. My Darling Zubin,

    You must be so happy flying around in heaven with your little wings, but know that we all miss you and your beautiful smile. You were a joy to all of us and will forever remain in our hearts.

    Dearest Ravi and Shals,

    My heart cries with both of you.... and I realize the helplessness and the grief that your whole family is going through. I can only pray that God gives you the strength and courage to pass through this sorrowful time peacefully.

  9. Dear Shals and Ravs, and the whole family:

    We love you guys so much. No words can express our deepest sympathies for all of you at this time. We cannot even begin to imagine what you are going through, but just know that we are here for you. Since moving to HK, we have had the amazing opportunity to spend time with you, Zubin and Anya. Zubin's smile truly would light up a room, and will forevermore continue to do so. He will always have a very special place in our hearts.

    Our Love to all of you during this difficult time.
    Shaman, Hersha and Indira

    PS: Zubin - please look after your mum, dad, sister and the whole family from above. You are now their guardian Angel. Hopefully you will have fun up there playing with all your bubbles and toys. We love you.

    Dearest Shalz and Ravi,

    I wish with all my heart I could be there with you -I JUST WANT TO HUG YOU. Zubin was a precious gift and we cannot begin to express how we feel or begin to imagine what you are going through.

    All we know is that he was a special soul that picked special parents.

    My Dad left a song about 'The Otherside' and here is a verse - sometimes the words help to calm the tide inside. We picture them together - watching us from above, flying with the angels:

    There is a world apart
    From the one which we once knew
    And from this other side
    I can see things clear and true
    And if I could reach out
    I'd touch you once again
    And make you undestand
    There's no need to
    Feel the Pain

    Give me a sign
    If you hear me
    One Little Smile
    Will asure me

    Reach for me
    And you feel
    Call to me and you hear
    I may have gone
    But I am still right here
    Beside you
    And wherever you go
    Let your happiness show
    And remember,
    I love you.

    We love you,
    Always
    Shani, Andrew and family

  14. Dearest Shalu & Ravi,
    There are no words adequate enough to express our shock and sorrow at the untimely loss of your precious Zubin. We pray that you will find some comfort in knowing that your beautiful angel is in the lap of God who, in His infinite wisdom, chooses to pluck those special souls that He holds dearest.

    Our thoughts are with you and your families during this most difficult time and we pray that God gives you the strength to bear this great loss. May God rest his soul in eternal peace. Om shanti...shanti...shanti

  15. Our Dearest Shalini and Ravi and the whole Family,

    We love you, we share in your pain, and we are united with you in grief at this most tragic time in your lives.

    We hope that you are able to draw the strength in always remembering the ray of light precious and beautiful Zubin brought to your lives and knowing that he is shining down on you as the brightest star in the sky.

    "When an Angel goes to Heaven"

    When an angel goes to heaven,God stands with open arms,
    To cradle and comfort him, to keep him safe from harm.

    When an angel goes to heaven,precious memories are left behind,
    Of innocence and warmth,and that special smile forever in your mind.

    When an angel goes to heaven,he tells of wonderful times,
    How Mummy,Daddy,Sister and Family were loving and so very kind.

    When an angel goes to heaven,he misses your gentle touch,
    He asks God to tell you he loves you so very much.

    When an angel goes to heaven,he asks even one more request,
    That God will comfort those he loved and to know he's with the best.

    When an angel goes to heaven,a part of you goes too,
    Knowing you will be joined with him again when your journey here is through.

    May our most beautiful Angel Zubin rest in eternal peace.We love you Zubin and you will forever be in our hearts and minds.

    With our Love and Prayers,

  21. Dearest Shals and Ravi,

    There are no words I can write or say that will take away the pain and loss. Know that you are surrounded by friends and family who are there to support and comfort you.

    Zubin will be missed immensely. He had the brightest, cutest smile and a contagious laughter. And, that's the memory I'll take with me.

    Love,

  25. Do not grieve and do not weep,
    I am with you still, I do not sleep.
    I am in a thousand winds that blow,
    I am the diamond glints on snow.
    I am the gentle showers of rain,
    I am sunlight on ripened grain.
    When you awake in the morning's hush,
    I am the swift uplifting rush.
    Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
    I am the soft stars that shine at night.
    I am in the shining moon
    I am in a quiet room.
    I am in the birds that sing,
    I am in each lovely thing.
    Do not think of me as gone,
    I am with you still in each new dawn.

  29. Dear Shalini,
    I just found out this morning about this sad news. I am lost for words- the 1st D&I conference you were expecting Zubin, and today I am still in a state of shock my dear.

    Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.

    My prayers and thoughts are with you.

  30. We are not close friends, yet I feel in my heart as if I have lost one of my own. I think of the precious times you had with your Zubin, and I think of the moments I have with my own son now; and I cherish and appreciate them so much more. The loss of a child is unfathomable and difficult to accept and understand. I pray for your family that the pain in your heart can be easier to bear with every day that passes.
