Gowtham you are a remarkable young man who touched our lives profoundly and left us much too soon. The impact you left us is lasting and deep. To our children you were a role model, a source of laughter, encouragement and support. Your kindness and gentle way of making everyone feel important are gifts you gave freely. After losing your beloved mother a few years ago, a loss that shook your world, you carried her dreams, hopes and memory with a quiet strength that inspired us all and you fulfilled her wish by graduating - a moment of pride, of triumph and of love. It is hard to understand why someone so full of promise, love, and light could be taken so soon. But what gives us comfort is knowing that you made a positive difference to all who knew you. Though our hearts are broken, we will carry your spirit forward — in the stories we tell, in the way we treat others. You may be gone in body, but never in soul. Your legacy is etched into our lives, and we are forever better for knowing you. Rest easy, dear one. Your mother’s arms are around you once again, and her heart is surely bursting with pride. You are deeply loved. You are deeply missed. And you will never be forgotten.
