Eulogy:
Mrs. Reena David Pezarkar, who we lovingly called Violet maushi, and her Hebrew name was Elisheba. She was my aunt from my mother's side.

Only a few things I vividly remember from my childhood. Like setting my house on fire during Hanukkah and extinguishing it myself. Getting bit by a stray dog and having to take 14 huge injections in my stomach and red ants taking over my feet for a meal while I was telling big tales to the neighbors. In a similar but loving way Violet maushi has etched herself in my memory from my childhood.
Violet maushi was my volunteer care giver whenever needed when I was a little boy. My mom used to go to work and in a panic when she cannot find anybody, she would call her youngest sister Violet for help . On getting this, she came all the way from Nagpada/Byculla (Mumbai), a 1 hour commute, to be with me and make sure I was not alone at home and not getting in any new trouble. She never turned down the opportunity to take care of me whenever it was needed. Over the years she has remained the same soft spoken and loving person that I knew at one time.
I was fortunate to meet her in February 2023 at the Thane synagogue for a family get-together when I met them after 15+ years. Frail and weak but with the same smile and glow of love as she remembered our fond times together when we were both much younger.
May she be in a better place and in peace for all the sacrifices and efforts she accomplished in her life on earth. Aamen. 🙏❤️🌻
