Dear Urmilla Kaki
I have so many memories. I still hear your laugh and end most of your words of advice with ‘okay’ in my head. You were a great cook but still filled the pantry with Mac and Cheese and yummy junk food, spoiling us kids. Your home was always open to all. You will be missed. May you find peace and your presence be forever felt by Kaka and the whole family. Love, Nima, Scott, Annan & Kita
