Ankit Parikh, We will miss you.

Namaste friends.

Please join us in extending support to family of our dear friend, Ankit who left us all too soon. Ankit, as many of us know has been more than a dear friend, mentor in professional and personal choices and an active volunteer in many of the community events. He is survived by his wife, Hetal and son, Dwij who share the same great qualities of Ankit.

Any and all help in this cause is greatly appreciated. Please include Ankit and his family in your prayers and thoughts.

Ankit had touched our lives in many ways.

I came in his contact few years ago while volunteering for India Foundation (IFMP). He also joined our team of volunteers and was a good productive member of the committee.

Dwij was a regular and much awaited young smiling face at all the events where he would so cheerfully help with many tasks.

Hetal brought her smiles and helpful hands too.

Their visa situation and sudden departure for India was shocking enough for us all. We were hopeful though, that time will cross our paths again.

Least did we know this day was around the corner

Ankit. You made so many friends everywhere you went. You have touched us all in pleasant ways. You will be missed.
