Dear Bhagrath Family & Ashish, Please accept my deepest sympathies.  It was a pleasure to work with Roop at the NGC.  She and I share some of the same personal friends, and I really miss her daily presence at the gallery as many also do.

Sincere condolences to Bhagrath family. Roop I will always remember you and your kindness.

I just heard of your mothers passing Ashish, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

My deepest condolences to the entire Bhargrath family. Roop and I had so many wonderful conversations at the Gallery. She would often talk about her children's with so much pride and always took the time to ask about mine. She always brought a smile to my face as she would often talk to me as if I was one of her children. She would let me know when I looked good or if I needed a shave. It was like having my mother at work. She will be truly missed.

I was very sad to hear of Roop's passing. She was such a kind person, beloved by everyone at the NGC. She will be greatly missed. Please accept my sincere sympathies to the Bhagrath family.

Dear Ashish and family,I am so sorry for your loss.  I will miss your Dear Roop for her smiles, conversation, and samosas!  Roop always spoke so fondly and very proudly of her children. Her presence is acutely missed here within our NGC community.

Dear Ashish, please accept my heartfelt sympathies. Your mother was a lovely woman. She always smiled and nodded as we passed in the halls of the gallery. She always made the day a little brighter.

Ashish and all members of Roop's family.
 I was shocked to hear of Roop's sudden death. What a loss to you all and to all her friends at the Gallery. We'll miss her greatly.
My sincere condolences,

Curator of Canadian Art

Ashish, mes plus sinceres condoleances a toi et ta famille.

Our deepest condolences from our family to yours. 

Sweet Roop and our dear Mother were great friends at the Gallery. They shared stories about their families, shared food and desserts, and exchanged loving gifts for many years. It is with great disbelief that such good friends have left us only weeks apart. 

We hope Roop is resting peacefully in the afterlife. We are sure she is smiling down on her family and friends from up above. We wouldn't be surprised if Roop and Mona are sitting in a beautiful garden sipping tea and eating baklava and jalebi.

May God bless your family and bring you peace. We are always thinking of you.

Chalhoub Family.
