    Jiju, your lovely smile says it all. We know how much you loved your immediate and extended family too. Your life has had a great influence on so many and we thank God for this gift. Our prayer for Deepu, Gia and all the loved ones is that "...the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort will comfort you...." 2Corinthians 1.3,4

    We will meet again on the other side of the mountain. Your departure for us is deep state of sorrow.....but we know every departure has an arrival. And there would be celebration. As orthodox Christians we hope and eagerly wait for that moment. You have received it little early....but we will all be there one day .....until then bid adieu....

    It is heartbreaking to say goodbye to a dear friend (Dearest Jiju) who was so supportive, caring, and close to me. He was a genuinely happy, kind-hearted person who was always willing to help others. His absence will be deeply felt by everyone who knew and loved him.

    It is very difficult to accept that he is gone, but we must accept God’s will. May his beautiful soul rest in eternal peace. You will always be remembered and missed. 🕊️

    Jiju was such a bright light when we worked together in the CICU. He was always there to lend anyone a helping hand and was simply one of the kindest humans I have met. Work was better because of him, and he will be deeply missed. Deepu and Gia, my heart goes out to you both. Sending you and the entire family so much love during this incredibly difficult time.

    I remember the day a few months ago Jiju saw me at Costco and called out my name and gave me a big hug. I was so happy to see Jiju and we talked for almost half an hour. It was a pleasure to work with Jiju and he will be miss dearly.
    My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

    I first had the privilege of working with Jiju back in 2012 at Rockyview General Hospital, and later again at Foothills in the Cardiac ICU. It was always a pleasure to be on shift with him, and he will be dearly missed.

    Please know that Jiju touched the lives of so many patients and colleagues throughout his career, and his kindness and care will not be forgotten.

    Thinking of you, Deepu, Gia, and your entire family during this difficult time

    Love your pics of Jiju! I was his nurse many times at the cancer center for chemo. He was always so kind! I remember him saying he loved the night shifts and was a night person ! Haha We all loved him and we’re so sad to hear of his passing. ❤️ sending love to his family!!
