Harry Hitchman Jeeto and family, I am saddened to learn of your mother’s passing. It is never easy losing a loved one, especially a mother. I am however pleased to know that she left us surrounded by the family she loved, who loved her in return, and will keep her memory in their hearts forever. I hope you will find the comfort and support you need during this time of grief.

We were very sorry to learn of Piara’s mother’s passing. We think often of you and hope that she was comfortable and at peace.
