Greetings!
On behalf of ISW family and our community we would like to share our utmost condolences on passing of our beloved Shobha Shastry. Ever since I have known Shobhaji she has been a pillar for the ISW community, always helping, always smiling and always ready to help anyone in the community. We have lost a leader, a friend, and someone everyone in the community will miss.
Shobhaji touched many in the ISW community and we have compiled memories and recollections of our community members in a celebration of her life on the ISW website. ISW will also be hosting a memorial service for Shobhaji on April 8th at the ISW India Center at 6:00 pm. Please register for the event as we have limited capacity in the halls. Details of the service will be posted on the ISW Website.
We all pray for her soul and for strength for the family.
Puneet Kohli, President, India Society of Worcester
