    Dear Anand and family, I cherished the few years I worked at public health and saw patients at the Hudson Center in the early 90’s. Asha served as nutritional support for the families. She was my best friend there, and we shared many lunches at work and after hours. Being fond of Indian cuisine, she shared many recipes with us. ASHA was such a warm, kind, gentle, fun, intelligent lady. We will sorely miss her. Sympathy and love to her family. Betty Craven, Melbourne,Fl.

    To the Panwalker family, sympathy and sorrow for you loss. Asha and I were nutritionists for the W.I.C. Program of DE; Asha at the Hudson State Service Center in Newark; myself--the Northeast SSC in Wilmington. Asha was there longer than me. She and I often talked about the entrenched bureaucracy, and our desires on leaving. For Asha it was retirement; for me, a welcomed career change. It was a trying job. Every Tuesday, myself and a co-worker would head to the Hudson SSC to offer relief to overburdened staff. The highpoint of every Tuesday was conversing with Asha. We enjoyed each other's conversations. That's the one thing I missed when I left WIC in 09/2004--Asha's company.

    My sympathy on the death of dear Asha. I worked with her in Public Health for many years. She was a quiet, helpful, caring person and nutritionist. She services to the patients was invaluable. She introduced me to Chai- a drink that now I enjoy. May she rest peacefully.

    Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 2, Verse 20 न जायते म्रियते वा कदाचि नायं भूत्वा भविता वा न भूय: | अजो नित्य: शाश्वतोऽयं पुराणो न हन्यते हन्यमाने शरीरे || 20|| The soul is neither born, nor does it ever die; nor having once existed, does it ever cease to be. The soul is without birth, eternal, immortal, and ageless. It is not destroyed when the body is destroyed. May your heart and soul find peace and comfort
