I had the honor of working side by side with Laxmi at Vitaquest until I left in 2005. I have always remembered her with love and was so sorry to hear of her passing. I had a world of respect for her as a person and a professional. She executed her job everyday, flawlessly and with dedication. Laxmi was a tremendous asset to me, and had a great ability to plan, execute and think about solutions before the problems even presented themselves. She was kind, patient, and someone I leaned on when things got difficult. I offer my sincerest condolences to you, her family. LIZ B.

when you hear the name Laxmi Ba you think of the sweetest and most loving soul in the whole world. The amount of love and affection my beautiful grandma had was priceless. She cared for every soul that was brought into her life from me to coco to buddy. She never made anyone feel left out and treated everyone as her own children. Even though she will not be physically present when i walk across the stage at graduation or when i get married she will be there in my thoughts and dreams. She has taught me so many things in life and i will forever take her name in any success i accomplish. I still remember the time during summer where she got me to eat tomato and ketchup sandwiches everyday. I know it sounds bad but trust me they slapped. I just want her to know that everyone who loved her and knew her will forever miss her and her kindness to this world. I would love love to make so many more memories on top of the ones we have but unfortunately god called your name. I know you’re in a better place now with you mom, dad, and brother, but i really miss you Ba. Well Ba just remember that i will always love you and miss you. I love you angel, rest in paradise. -dylan

Ba! What a wonderful and caring person she was! She would always be there for you even if you weren’t family. She treated everyone with respect and kindness. I am going to miss you so much you don’t even now. Calling you every Sunday was one of the highlights of that day. Our conversation would start out with you saying jai shree Krishna and I would say it back . Then you would ask me how am I and then what I was doing. And I would ask u the same. Then U would ask how my grades were and I would say good. Then we would say bye to each other and I would talk to dada. I am going to miss those Sunday calls. Every time we would come to Clifton you would always be prepared. You had our ice cream and mango stocked up even if we were staying for a day. You such a kind hearted person and always loved everyone. You were such a religious person and cared about god. Every morning and night you would read your prayers. When we were leaving we would get the little crystals. You wouldn’t always take 1 but I took 2 anyway. You would take care of us and make sure we were okay. You loved buddy and always used to sneak him a roti without mom knowing. Your laugh was so beautiful and I loved it. Your smile was so subtle and comforting. You would sit outside and watch buddy play and use the bathroom. You would always let me sleep on the couch even if I tried to give it up for u. You would always get mad at us cause we would do in your garden and take your containers but got over it cause you loved to see us smile and laugh. I’m so sad and devastated that your not going to be there when I graduate from high school or walk down the aisle. Every accomplishment I make you are going to be with me. I know you are in a better place now with your family that you missed. Just know I know your watching over me and my family. Most of all I’m going to miss you. That smile got to wake up to and your amazing tasting food. You would make me my favorite dhal and Russ. I love you so much and I’m going to miss you so much. - nandini

Ba was one of the most kindest person I have ever known. She was always there for anyone in any situation. Whenever you needed her she would drop anything and come. Every Sunday she will always call our home and we would always get to talk to her, it was the highlight of my day. She has thought me so much throughout my life. Every time we visited ba and dada in New Jersey she would always have everything ready for us. She would have a lot of different fruits and snacks for us. Dada would always have ice cream for us and of course a lot of mango. Every morning she would have tea for us to drink with our baby crackers, every morning. We would play ball outside in the backyard and feed rice to the birds. Ba loved to play with buddy and would watch him outside while he uses the bathroom or plays. She was dedicated to god and would pray every morning and night. Ba always made our favorite food. She always slept next to me on the floor and made sure we were all comfortable and if we were not she always had to make sure we were. Ba was a beautiful woman. She was hardworking, talented, kind, and just the best person that you could ever meet. She was never mean to anyone and was always polite to anyone she met.She always put the most effort in anything and always did everything the right way. She was never lazy. I will miss her hugs, her smile, her calls every Sunday, her delicious food, and most of all her. Ba, you are now in a peaceful place away from all of this down here but I know that you are always watching us from above and anytime I need you I will just look up and talk. I love you so much ba and will miss you forever and always. ~Shalini

Growing up in the same house as Motiba was a blessing. She would constantly cut us fruits, look after us, play with us, watch tv with us, and was always there for us when we got hurt or needed her. Even though we are older now, nothing has changed. Motiba is the most kind, caring pure soul. When she wasn’t praying, she was helping others out. We saw each other every other week and everytime she was so joyful and kind and never had a bad thing to say. Not many family members play with Simba, but she would go above and beyond to get him food and play with him. She told us a many many to bring him over as soon as it gets warmer out so he can play in her backyard and I wish we got that chance. He loved her, everyone loved her. The day before she passed I had a dream that I was a little girl and it was my babri and I was crying and she was holding me. Last night, the night before her funeral, I had another dream that it was time to do prathna for her and she was crying and I was holding her. This is the type of relationship motiba and I had. We were there for each other. When I was upset she was there to hold me and when she was upset I was there to hold her. I hope that wherever she is, she is happy because that’s what she deserves. All the happiness in the world. I love my Motiba so much and I’m going to miss her so much.
