My mother passed away peacefully yesterday morning after a final two-week battle with the cancer. She had fought bravely and well for close to six years. Only the final few days were difficult, and we are grateful that she had a peaceful end, surrounded by her loved ones.

Uma, I am really sorry to hear of the passing away of your mother, no one can replace a parent in our lives. I pray that God gives you the strength to bear the loss. I am reminded of this line from ‘Tuesdays with Morrie’, “Death ends life, not a relationship.’
