I found a true friend in you, who has had my back, always. Always with an open heart, open home and the biggest smile. Words come to a stop, when I try to emote my feelings. All I can say is, we will miss you, I will miss you. I don't know how to step out in our building without seeing you right there, waving at me. Love, prayers, strength and light to your most beloved family. The impact you've made on all of us is too large to be forgotten. Rise and shine, my friend @dhirajdkotkar 🌟."
