On behalf of the graduating class of 1966 from Skeldon Lutheran High, The Crabwood Creek ARYA SAMAJ, Neighours and friends ( Baban, Bone, Sugrim, Jwalla Persaud, Jairaj Prasad, Radhika Chainsukh, Bovil, Balram families) and many more who would not be present at the Last Rites, I extend sympathy to the entire family. We hope that she finds PEACE and continue her journey as she takes Birth again to enjoy the Fruits of her Action. Even though she is gone, her love will continue while she lives on within each of you. I have fond memories of Vijay as a Class Mate. All the girls would drive in groups as we go back and forth from home to school. She was quiet, gentle and of course brilliant. I am happy to hear that she was a great teacher and must have inspired many young students from CWC and the Corentyne area. She and some of her siblings must have inherited the genes of her DAD, who was the Head Priest at CWC Mandir where I was a growing up. He was an inspiration and mentor to me and many others from the Village. He hailed from Banares, India, the oldest Living city in the World and a Center of Learning. He was an advocate for Women's education. He taught and encouraged us to learn and memorize the "VEDIC HAVAN" Ceremony. For that I am very grateful. My Thanks and Respect to him, wherever he may be. Family members , this is just a TRANSITION, just like we change into NEW clothes. Memories are the only thing we leave behind. " THE SOUL IS NEVER BORN NOR DOES DIES; NOR DOES IT BECOME ONLY AFTER BEING BORN. FOR IT IS UNBORN, ETERNAL, EVERLASTING AND ANCIENT, EVEN THOUGH THE BODY IS SLAIN, THE SOUL IS NOT."----- Gita OM SHANTI, SHANTI, SHANTI. Indra Kumar ( Bovil)
