A Devata asked
"What is good until old age?
What is good when established?
What is the precious gem of humans?
What is hard for thieves to steal?
Buddha answered:
"Virtue is good until old age; Faith is good when established; Wisdom is the precious gem of humans;
Merit is hard for thieves to steal"

Babubhai had all these qualities and will live within all of us for all time.

You toiled so hard for those you loved.
You said goodbye to none,
your spirits flew before we knew,
your work on earth was done.
We miss you now, our hearts are sore,
as time goes by we miss you more.
Your loving smiles, your gentle faces:
no one can fill your vacant places.
Your lives were love and labor.
Your love for your family true.
You did the best for all of us.
We will always remember you

Thought during Diwali:
It is during these auspicious days that we most miss our dear departed.
Most recently Babubhai and Savita bhabhi and Jayshree, Ba and Bapuji. Our hearts are heavy yet we can reflect with pride on what they did for us.
They were the pillars of the extended family. They devoted and sacrificed their life to make ours more happy and full filling. They were the pioneers of the development of the nation of Kenya.
They left behind a legacy that they can be proud of and know that they laid the foundation and passed on the wisdom that the next generation can take forward with strength.
So here is a salute to our dear departed as we welcome the new year.
We miss you but shall always cherish the great moments we had together.
