On our first day as students, Vijai stepped off the bus ahead of me & I followed her into college. So began a life-long friendship. Over the years we shared our youth, our maturity and all the major events in lfe, as good friends do. Vi showed such warmth, loyalty and generosity of spirit towards everyone. She was wise and consistent with her family and her friends - always welcoming in her heart and in her home. And, as all our dearest friendships do, she made time to enjoy the warmth & bond we shared in the moment. As in life, we will always treasure Vijai's friendship and be stronger for it. We will miss her very much, her wise counsel, her common sense, delivered in the belief that friends were also 'family'. We will smile at the memory of Vijai and keep her with us, to soothe the hurt of her parting. Lesley, Rick & Joshua
