As my mom, she was and always will be my greatest blessing from God. She was my architect and influencer - she challenged me to be my best in everything I do, love and care for everyone and follow God's path every step of the way. Despite her hectic daily life at school, she would always find time to sit down to make sure we are ready for school everyday, prepare us healthy and delicious food for every meal and occasion. Our weeks would also include a healthy dose of church and prayers sprinkled in throughout. Till today, she is probably also the most loyal customer of McRennet - every single day, I mean every single day she would not return home from school without it for my brother and I. My mom loved traveling, trying out new food and cuisines and was always very curious about the ingredients that went in. Other than her first love, Chemistry she was also equally fascinated by plants and flowers - her gardens would be the envy of many and amongst her countless well wishers are all the plants and trees she has planted and cared for around the world. She would even spend time talking to them if they not grow properly or were infected. She loved God and God loved her back - she would have a church for every day of the week and knew masses from around the world. After retirement, her faith only got stronger and it gave her strength and confidence despite all the challenges God threw her way. Family meant the world to her - she would do anything for us and would go to whatever extent it takes to make us happy. From cooking each of favorite dishes, to running around from store to store picking stationery, hair bands and knick knacks for her grand kids she would never get tired of caring for us. She would tell us that it gave her immense joy. As a teacher, she made Chemistry so much fun. Learning Chemistry from us is a joy and I will never forget how much she enjoying teaching it, breaking everything down to simple understand bite size chunks and would never get tired of explaining something over and over. Fatima Convent was a second home for her - she loved every bit of it, the students, the friendships, the sisters, the parents and all the wonderful memories she created there are a big part of her everlasting legacy. Whatever role she took on she did it with grace, sincerity, love, affection and that beautiful smile. Love you, Amma. Going to miss you terribly! God, please take great care of her.
