"I met Praveenah's loving and humble family in Auckland New Zealand in the 1990's. Though I don't have a close bonded relationship with the family, I have visited them many times with my family and shared some memorable times with them. Praveenah's mom and dad are one of the exceptional parents one could ask for and one of the best hosts to entertain their visitors. When I decided to move to the USA to pursue my Doctoral degree, I approached Praveenah to seek her help to teach me Math and physics for GRE exams. She agreed to help me instantly and at no cost, she tutored me for almost a month in preparation for my GRE exams. It was with her help I scored well in GRE and was able to pursue my PhD. During that time and later in when I was pursuing my grad studies. Praveenah's Mom asked me to let her know if I come across any suitable groom for Praveenah. Like many other relatives and friends, I too was looking for a good match for her. But to our surprise and delight we came to know of the longtime romance between Praveenah and Kandeepan and we were all so happy that she found the love of her life. Following that, I almost lost contacts with the family but had some social media contacts and got to know that Praveenah got married, blessed with a twin and I have been following them on social media and was very happy that the family is doing so well with Praveenah and Prashaanah's children. I had absolutely no idea about Rishika's illness until I suddenly saw the unimaginable news on social media yesterday. Yes, Life does distract us pulling us away from some of the people who were there for us and were close to us. Nevertheless, we don't mean to forget them or their good deeds. It's just the way life works. Passing of the little angel Rishika broke my heart and brought back all the memories of this lovely family. While, no words can bring any closure, I do believe that care and prayers from loved ones can bring a little comfort to ease your minds. Rishika came along with her brother to be part of your family and it's the karma that she has to be with you all only for a short time. I am sure you know that she will be back with you all and life continues. I hope God will give you the strength and courage to understand this truth and you all will move forward to live a meaningful life until you meet this precious angel again. God bless you all. With much love Nilmini/akka. "

"The news about Rishika is heart breaking. May God give her parents, grand parents & her brother to get through the irreplaceable loss of theirs'. Our thoughts & prayers are with you all at this difficult time. May her soul reach the Lotus feet of God Siva. "

"My heart stopped when I heard the news. I can't even imagine what you all will be going through in this moment. It so heart braking. I pray god to give you strength during this difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all."

"Rest in peace நேரில் கண்டு பார்த்து மகிழாவிட்டாலும் , உனது இழப்பைத் தாங்கும் மனத்தினை பெற்றோர்களுக்கும் பேரன் பேத்திமார்களுக்கும் மற்றும் உடனுள்ள உறவுகளுக்கும் கொடுக்கவேண்டும் என ஆண்டவனைப் பிராந்திக்கின்றேன். ஓம் சாந்தி"
