My deceased wife Mari and I were close friends of Ganga and Meera. We took vacations together, went to shows, and regularly played Tennis. Ganga was caring, kind, and very helpful human being.
I am going to immensely miss him and wish his lovely wife Meera and his children Tara, Nidhi, and Shiva my deep condolences. May his life be a source of inspiration and great role model for his children, grand children, and those who knew him.

My deepest condolences to RG´s family and friends. He was a very kind man and I sincerely enjoyed the years we worked together at Lutheran Hospital. He loved his family fiercely. I always loved hearing stories about his children & grandchildren. Blessings to his family.

Meera, Tara, Nidhi, Shiva,
So sorry to hear of the loss of your husband and father. We just saw and spoke with him at Wu's not too long ago. Judy also met him often at Lutheran when he was volunteering, usually pushing a patient in a wheelchair, and thought how great is was for a Dr. to be giving his time.
May the future be filled with wonderful memories of time spent together.
