He was an elegant man – always happy to see your friends, always smiling, always a kind word from his lips. He looked at Jack and Sam with such adoration. This is a terrible loss, but I see a lot of your dad in you and that is a beautiful legacy.

Our heartfelt condolences from my family to yours on this very sad news about Asgar. Our love and thoughts are with you all during this devastating time. Such wonderful people and wonderful neighbours for over 25 years.
A special verse for you that I hope will bring some comfort, as it did for me upon the loss of my parents to cancer:
“God’s Garden”
“God looked around his garden,
And found an empty space
He then looked upon the Earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest,
God’s garden must be beautiful
For in you he took the best.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb,
So he closed your weary eyes
And whispered “Peace be thine”.
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you do not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
When Jesus called you home.”

My dear Linda and Family; brothers and sister & Families:
I feel in my heart the same feeling of grief and sorrow you have in your hearts for the untimely “departure” from this earthly life of your beloved and faithful husband and loving Father having lived together happily in the grace of love and devotion.
I always taken in my heart the feeling of fondest love, affection and fervent prayers for Asgar as one of the best intimate friend and brother for his candid and soft way of expressing himself in our conversations when ever we were in social gatherings and in my birthday parties and your own invitations to attend your parties.
The driven purpose and destiny of his only gift of life has been achieved and accomplished with dignity, integrity and prestige and honesty and trustworthy as a friend and a member of the commonions of society; the candle that Almighty God gave him when he was conceived in the sacred womb of his beloved that had illuminated the successes of his life is now consumed; “Life is a Sacred Gift from God and God will santify him in His Kingdom in Heaven to repose in eternal peace.
We bid farewell to Asgar and In Jesus Name, we pray.
Dear Linda and Family go on to “achieve and accomplish the driven purpose and destiny of life.”
Receive my and my family’s fondest love, affection and fervent prayers, just as well your beloved Parents.
Tata Alex Parucha, Sr.

Please know that I am so sorry to hear about Asger’s passing. He was such a wonderfully wise – but understated person – a truly unique individual. I consider myself lucky to have met him and I hope that if I can provide you with support or help in any way at this time, that you will not hesitate to reach out.
