Dear, Sanjaybhai Brother, I adored you as kids from when we were first met, You always had that cheeky smile, a quiet confidence, and a heart that was always there to support our family. Some of my happiest memories are of us as children, playing together and arguing over our toy cars. No matter how much we fought, it never lasted long, we would be best friends again without even saying a word. Your love, laughter, and beautiful spirit will live on forever in our hearts. We will continue to share your stories and memories with our family and friends, so that your legacy is never forgotten. I’m so grateful that we reconnected and made plans to spend more time together and create new memories. Although life didn’t give us that chance, I still hope that one day I can visit New Zealand, spend time with the family after so many years, and honour the memories we spoke about making together. Bhai, you are now reunited with Mum and Dad, and with all our Kakas and Foi. I know you are all watching over us until the day we meet again. Until then, rest peacefully, Bhai. Om Shanti. 🙏🏽
