Kushi was a special person that made every day at the office brighter. My desk was side-by-side with Kushi's desk, which means that I started each day with a smile and a "Good morning, Bri!" Sometimes others would say good morning to Kushi, and she would say back to them with a grin "Good morning, but don't you see that Bri is here too?"  She didn't want me to be left out. That's Kushi - she was always worried about others before herself.

Kushi was a hard worker who took great pride in her work. She was a beautiful person who did not deserve to feel any sadness or pain. Now we all feel the sadness and pain of her loss and she is resting in eternal peace. 

Sending Kushi's friends and family all my strength and love,
Bri

Darling Dilkushi, 
You were a wonderful daughter to your parents, an amazing sister to your brother and an extraordinary friend who loved everyone. Your sweet memories will stay with us forever. May you attain supreme bliss of Nirvana.

Dear Dilkushi (Kush),

You were the ray of sunshine in our class. I still recall ur laugh, the giggles, I can still recall all the funny facial expressions… you were such a happy, kind hearted soul and it was fun to be around you. I can’t imagine how you could leave this world so suddenly, it’s hard to accept the ultimate truth of life.. may you attain the supreme bliss of nirvana!

Dear Aunty, Uncle, Malli and Mahesh,

I can’t imagine what you might be going through right now, I wish you all the strength and courage to face this unfortunate loss! Please know that Dilkushi was loved by her classmates and she will be dearly missed! We did not even want to send her white flowers because she was our little miss sunshine in class, vibrant, energetic and happy and she should be celebrated in colors🥹🥹🥹! 

With love,
Ishara Pathirage 
SBV 12-13 classmate

I worked with Kushi at the UW Medical center like many others.

My office was next to Kushi’s for a couple years, although it feels so much longer when I think of the crazy hours some of us worked. I was really nervous when I took that job because I came from the float team where we had it pretty easy most of the time, and this new job was extremely demanding with long hours and very sick patients. Kushi also came from the float team and she immediately made me feel welcome and reassured me that I could do this insane job.

I remember hearing people tell Kushi that she was too nice, but I don’t really believe in such a thing as being too nice. In this world there are givers and takers and Kushi was the epitome of what it means to be a giver. Can you imagine what a better place the world would be if everyone had just a fraction of the kindness that Kushi graced us with.

I would like to say thank you to anyone who helped organize this. Please know that your efforts are so appreciated by everyone. 

I have also lost a family member suddenly, and there is nothing that can prepare you for what going through that feels like. We must all remember to take care of ourselves and each other, because that is what Kushi would have wanted.

Thank you for letting me share.

I express my deep regret, your family will miss you very much, no one will be able to fill that void. May no untimely death like this happen in any life born. May you rest in peace sister .💐💐

Kushi was such a kind soul.  She was  a ray of light and a joy to work with, she will be sorely missed by all of her colleagues at Boeing.

Sending my sincere condolences to Mahesh, her beautiful sons, her family and friends.  We were all blessed to have known her.  You’ll be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Dilkushi,
We will miss you Dearly ❤️❤️❤️
May you attain the Supreme Bliss of Nirvana 🙏🏻
With Loads of Love
Your friends -  Sirimavo 2004 Batch

Dearest Dilkushi (Kush), 

You were an amazing friend and classmate back in our high school, SBV.  We had so many wonderful memories. Our class was just below the principal’s office and we always got into trouble for being so loud. We had such a carefree teenage life and I still remember all the mischief we had in school. You always laughed out loud when a teacher would say a funny sounding terminology. You had such a beautiful and cheerful personality and you will be missed dearly by all of your classmates. Fly high, beautiful girl!!! May you reach Nirvana soon in this Samsara!!! 

To Dilkushi’s family, 

I hope that all of you can find comfort in the fact that Kushi was loved and cherished by all of her friends. I will remember her always and will talk fondly of our memories from the school days. Kushi has achieved so much in life and I’m proud to have been her friend and known her in my life. All of you are in my thoughts.

My dearest sister, it’s just a nightmare to me still. Can’t believe what happened to you at this time akke. The first day I met you  , I felt you as my own sister. It is still the same and will be the same. You gave me and nangi thousands of advises to make our future a success. 
I believe your loss will be the greatest loss to me😓😓. This space in my heart will not be filled by anyone akke. Wish we could be with you now. You’re my own sister, not my sister in law. 
මගේ අක්කාට නිවනින් සැනසීම ලැබේවා🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️

Don’t have any words to express my feelings and thoughts for you akke. It’s just a dream to me that you are no longer with me right now. Since the day I met you, you were not a sister in law to me. You were my my sister, my best friend, my partner in crime, you still are and you always will be. There’s no one to replace you in my heart akke. The sister talks we had for hours will chant my ears for the rest of my life. The secrets we shared will always be safe with me. 
No matter what will happen in my life, you will be in my heart till my last breath akke. I will always follow the path you showed me and make you a proud sister as I know you watch me. My loving sister, may you attain Supreme bliss of Nibbana🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Love you as I always do akke♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I'm so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you at this difficult time. Sending love and peace. May your heart and soul find peace and comfort. Forever ...

නිවන් සුව ලැබේවා අක්කේ 🙏

Our hearts are saddened by your loss and our thoughts and prayers are with you 🙏 RIP  Akke😥

My dearest daughter, wish we could be there with you right now. You are not my daughter in law but my own daughter puthe. There is no word enough to express our feelings and how we are going through right now. You were always there with us in every up and down in our lives as our eldest daughter. Can't imagine what happened to you. You will always be in our hearts forever.
මගේ දුවට අජරාමර නිවන් සුව ලැබේවා කියා මමත් අම්මත් ප්‍රාර්ථනා කරනවා පුතේ.🙏🙏🙏🙏

Kushi,, i am still finding a way how to see this real,,, its totally a shock for me. I pray ur kids and husband will overcome with gods blessings and i will surely miss u forever. U r such a happy soul i have ever met... hugs❤️ . rest in peace kushi.

Kushi was a sweet, kind, smart, and generous person. Her family was her first love. She spoke of her husband and her life with him with such love and high regard. She especially mentioned his integrity and how she valued that. And her children and mother meant the world to her too. I am sure there are so many others but those are who she spoke of the most with me. She loved being your wife and mother and daughter respectively.

At work at UW Transplant, she was an incredibly hard worker who cared about our patients so much. Even when she was sick, she would want to still work from home so that the patients would be taken care of. She was proud to work at UW and we were so fortunate to have her in our department and we knew it.

Everyone at work describes her as sweet and mentions her smile. She would take the time to listen and make many kind gestures to her transplant “family” like remembering a birthday or bringing flowers at a time of loss for me and many others. 

She and I would walk down the long hallway to get away from our desks and process some intense times. I would urge her to let the difficulties be like water off a duck’s back, and tell her that she was doing a great job because she was. 

We were so sad when she left Transplant for Boeing but now I see that gave us the opportunity to tell her how much we love and appreciate her. It is good she knew how precious she was to us and maybe we would not have said it so clearly if she has stayed. I was trying to get her to come back to Transplant!

I don’t know why she was taken from us so soon. We can never really understand another person’s life pathway. Maybe she was too good for this world. But she was not too good for her family or us. She loved you and us in her work family and knew she was loved in return. I fully believe she is at peace and is only worried about us carrying on without her. Sending such big hugs to her lovely husband, children, mother, and extended family and friends.

Our dearest Kushi, the sweetest and kindest neighbor we could ever ask for. In the short amount of time we’ve spent together, we were lucky to have received her genuineness and warmth, at a time when it has been so rare to find. Thank you for your grace and wholeheartedness. May you rest easy now our friend. We will never forget you.

Kushi was always a kind, funny, and hardworking teammate. She was always willing to cover for me and help me, despite her heavy workload. We bonded over our shared experiences at work, and she comforted me when I had a loss in my family. She always made me laugh and I will forever be grateful to her. 

Sending my thoughts and condolences to her family and loved ones.

I did not know Kushi, but looking at this beautiful memorial I feel like I knew her. I am a Sirimavian as well, and want to extend my deepest condolences to her family and all those who loved her. Especially her children. I hope that they will always remember their mother and her love for them, and wish lots of support from extended family so that they can grow up to lead happy lives ❤️

I have come to realized that there will be no more “moment”with you. Catching up one day over a coffee,and spending time together will just be a wish that never came true.
We did take our time for granted didn’t we?!

 The time we shared which was never captured in a photograph, and all that we did together will forever be in my heart. 
I will forever remember you as the beautiful burst of energy that you always were ,and your beautiful smile forever etched in my heart,the sound of your laughter will always echo in my ears.

I guess the heavens must have really missed you so badly, that they wanted you back so soon,now it’s our turn to miss you,and you will be deeply missed by many. I hope you knew how special you were, how many hearts and lives you have touched,knowingly and unknowingly. 
I can’t even comprehend the grief that all of us will have to endure with you gone.

Till we meet again….
Go in peace and rest in peace my friend.

Dearest Dil...
This was my favourite pic with you from many I have...
We were together for four years but uncountable memories were made..
You were full of drama but I was in most of them and enjoyed every  bit.
I still cannot believe you are no more..
May be u were too good for this world..
I hv so much to say but at a loss of words... 
May your beautiful soul rest in peace... 
Your memories will forever be cherished.. ❤️
With an extremely heavy heart here I say goodbye. 😔
Good bye Dil... ♥️

Dearest Kushi,

It was only like yesterday when we were at our 12 Kumudu A/L class having all those good times. Our class was right under the principal's office & yet we were the noisiest lot 🤭. And I must say there never was a dull moment in the class with you around. And now looking back, I feel blessed for those memories Kushi...

I still can't believe that you were taken this soon from us. But as we all from our class got together, grieving your physical loss, I understood that you're still there with us through the memories of our old stories, laughter and love you shared with us. Which made me understood wherever a beautiful soul has been, there is a trail of beautiful memories.

Goodbye dearest Kushi. Our paths will cross again & until then I carry you in my heart cherishing every moment we shared ❤️ 

~ Manji ~

As kids, we shared countless moments, crafting beautiful memories that now fill my heart. Your sudden departure has left me in sorrow, and looking back at our childhood, I can't recall a single moment without you. I always believed we would continue making memories into our old age. Thank you for being a significant part of my life, for adding color and brightness to my world, and for standing by me from our early years to major milestones. You weren't just a friend; You were my sister occupying my heart and always bringing a smile to my face. My most loved and adored friend, I will miss you dearly and hold you in my thoughts until my last days.

May you rest in peace, my dear friend. Illuminate the skies with your radiant smile 💔💔

It was so hard to believe that tragic news dear…The wonderful days we spent at sirimavo with lots fun , we did not have any exam stress during those days as it was a cool class with lovely friends.you are one of them and so mischievous.I remember how you kept a seat in the school bus for me and Manji as  we were not that smart to run fast and get the back seat.Nugegoda is one of our memorable places Louvre and Lyceum  the tuition classes those lovely days we spent together , the arms giving you had at your place and the delicious biscuit pudding you gave me …all those sweet memories are still with me.Though we didn’t have much connection after A/L s me and Sumedha were memorizing those fun days.You will be in our heats forever KUSHI…❤️May your kids and husband be able to bear this sorrow…Aunty ,Uncle and malli I know how you loved her and I don’t understand how you all are bearing it up…May they  have strength to face this situation.
Rest in peace love…❤️
Lots of love from Amalsha and Sumedha

Good bye my best friend from school. You were the most kindhearted person and mischievous in your own way.  You were so strong only you could fight and get food from our school canteen for all of us. You were so caring enough to do that for us every single day.  You will be missed my beautiful friend 💐 May you attain the supreme bliss of Nirwana 🙏🏻
Shashini (Sirimavo)

My dearest sister, 
I am still at a loss for words. You were one of the most amazing people I had in my life. One of the kindest souls, you always put everyone before you. I still remember how we used to do everything together. I remember all the  memories I had with you in the school. I remember all the memories with you during our last two years in high school. How you would wake up before me to make my tea, how would you make my breakfast when I was still sleeping, how we stayed all night pretending to be studying, but watching Bollywood movies. You were the ultimate definition of kindness, caring and the beautiful soothing nature of unconditional giving.  There are thousands to say, but my love I just can't voice them without being shattered in to pieces. I know for sure, that you were straight dropped in heaven. But you won't go in, you will stay at the gates making sure everyone walks pass, is being fed, is being taken care of, their hair is fixed, their clothes are done. And that's the person you are. I will cherish every moment with you forever. Rest in peace Kushi! You are loved forever.

Dearest Kushi , 
You are one of the beautiful souls both in and out. It’s so hard to believe that you are gone from our Seattle family.. All the good deeds you have done were a great proof that saved all your loved ones in such a traumatic car accident. Your sweet smile and cherished memories will be in our hearts forever.. Goodbye our loving friend/sister. May you attain supreme bliss of Nirvana.

Janith, Gangara & Rusara

It is with a heavy heart that we say goodbye to you dear Kushi nangi. You were such a beautiful person. Although you are gone too soon, we will always hold you close in our thoughts and our hearts. We were so blessed to have you in our lives. You will be sorely missed. Good bye nangi till we meet again. Rest in peace. 

                                                     Love,
                      Goury akka, chathura Aiya and kids

Kushi finishing 2023 at a gathering with some of her friends.

During the short time that I worked with Kushi I learned that she had extremely sweet side to her, I really loved getting to know her. She loved her boys and loved being a mother. Kushi, you will be missed. 

Loving regards, Michelle Leonard
