Dear Bill,
We are shocked and saddened by this news, our deepest condolences.

Vineetha was a dear friend of our family from our days growing up in South Bombay. She was also at St Xavier's College with my sister.

Vineetha was an icon of style, elegance,  sophistication, and beauty. Her taste was exquisite! We still remember her eye for fashion, and how she could carry off anything with grace & aplomb. She created quite a stir at one of our building dinners in an eye-catching dark blue chiffon saree! 

But most of all Vineetha was warm, intelligent, caring, and fun. She was always a huge supporter of my work, for which I am eternally grateful. She will be sadly missed. Both my sister Girija  think of her fondly, and will always remember her and send you our love at this sad time.
Best wishes

Sad to hear the sudden loss of Vineetha. May her soul Rest in Peace.  Vineetha, a pleasant person with lot of love and affection.  Very compassionate young woman. She is very close friend of my wife Vanaja  🙏

Vineetha we go back at least 30 years! Thank you for all the prayers, wise words, encouragement, humours stories and above all your love and prayers  throughout the years! Those prayers will continue on for myself and my children until all have been fulfilled!  
We fully expect your never ending prayers for us while you are now in your eternal home!! I know your mansion is full of gold gold gold!!! And ornate fabrics, silks etc. much like Solomon’s temple!! 
We will be thinking about you and will feel your presence at Keeley’s wedding Oct. 21! 
You are loved and I am forever grateful for the time I had with you here on earth!!! 
Love always Jessica

Bill we are here for you!! Vineetha loved you as you know and she would want you to fulfil God’s destiny for you!!

I knew Vineetha for a brief period of a year since Nov 2022 and she made my move to Canada special by her caring phone calls to regularly check in with me. I got to meet her once and I thank her for her encouragement and hospitality. May her soul rest in peace…

Dear vineetha,
Since i have been her neighbour from the time she was a small child she has retained the same innocent appearance . I will always remember her for being a beautiful person as  everyone says about VINEETHA.

Hello again everyone reading this message..
I attended my darling friend Vineetha’s funeral today. It was such a beautiful and serene service and everyone spoke with dignity and compassion and pride of their memories of Vineetha and her darling family. And every word people said I second that … so Vineetha was a Angel 😇 on earth helping so many people in need especially new comers into Canada where Bill and her opened their hearts and their doors to share the warmth and the home cooked food so that they know they are not alone. How profound is that. 
But what hits me the most is I don’t have my friend anymore to call and ask any questions I have about experiences back home in Bangalore. She knew everything and had a good memory of the past and shared her knowledge freely. And she never had a negative thing to say about anyone. Bill’s loss is our loss. And her beauty inside out especially the beauty of her kind soul will be always remembered and appreciated and cherished. I miss you Vineetha and please pray for us as we go on our journey on earth, till we meet again my friend.. till we meet again  ❤️🙏🏻❤️

Vineetha will always be remembered as an elegant and beautiful person inside and out. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Dear Bill, Winston, David, Solomon & Tina
We are deeply saddened to hear of the untimely passing away of Vineetha. 
It would have come as a shock to all of you too. 
For those of us who believe in the resurrection of Christ, separation - though painful, is but for a short time, since we have the sure hope of seeing our loved ones again on the other side. 
During this time of grieving, may the Holy Spirit, who is our comforter, bring solace and peace to each of you in the family.  May His true presence be felt, providing you with comfort and support.
Please be assured of our continued prayers, especially for Bill.
With our love & prayers,
Julian & Anita Sundersingh
Bangalore, India

Just remember Vinitha as a stately, composed and elegant lady. Thank God for her life and testimony.
Wish we could have gotten to know her better -- will meet in eternity, for sure!
God bless, Bill. Upholding you and the wider family before the Lord's throne of grace.

Rest in Peace Dear Vineetha. Stay happy wherever you are.  You shall always live in our hearts and memories.

We will be thinking of you with love as you send off your loved wife, sister in law and friend. May the memories and joys shared bring you some peace. Love Suzanne and family

Dear Will & family, 
We are very sorry for your loss. Our heart felt condolences to you. May God bring about healing to your heart, His grace & mercy cover you at this time of your grief.  May God hold you close to His heart & continue to guide in the days, months & years ahead.

Sending our heartfelt condolences to you Bill. Vineetha was such a loving, caring person who was so dear to our family. She took time to keep in touch and was generous with her time and thoughtfulness. We remember her fondly and hope that time eases the pain of such an all-too-soon loss.

I am absolutely devastated to hear about vineethas untimely demise.she was my v 1st friend wen I shifted to her building after marriage.her home was like my maternal home and I was always welcomed like a daughter.i am in great shock and I can only say RIP vineetha wherever you are

It was hard to accept the passing of Vineetha, a dear friend, and classmate. Born and raised in the RBI quarters, Bombay, Vineetha was a beloved daughter and an excellent neighbor who touched the lives of many.

Vineetha led a life filled with dedication, discipline, and compassion. She was an epitome of grace and kindness. Her warm smile and gentle demeanor could light up a room, and she always had a word of encouragement or comfort for those going through hard times.


As a passionate and dedicated friend, Vineetha was always there for her peers. She supported and encouraged them to pursue their dreams and to be their best selves. Her love for life and zestful nature inspired many.

Overall, Vineetha touched many lives and left an unforgettable imprint. She will always be remembered for her selflessness, her kindness, and the way she brought people together. May her gentle soul rest in eternal peace.

My heartfelt condolences to her darling husband Bill whom she loved so very much and all those grieving for this great loss.
I am in shock as it was too quick. But Gods ways are not our ways. 

Isaiah 55:8-9 - Just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my plans than your plans… My plans aren't your plans, nor are your ways my ways, says the LORD.

Vineetha was a great daughter, wife and daughter in law. She took such good care of all her loved ones and was there at their beck and call. 
She is now resting peacefully in the arms of her darling mum and dad whom she loved and missed dearly and grieved so much when they were gone.
Rest in Gods eternal peace my dear friend knowing as you loved everyone you are loved by one and all whose hearts you touch while here on earth.

My sincerest condolences to her family. She was such a lovely lady. It was great knowing Vineetha for a short while. A great reminder of the fragility of life.

God please guide her into your eternal resting place

Rita and I fondly remember Vineetha as a truly caring and kindhearted person. We had got to know her particularly well over the past several years. May her soul rest in peace and God give Bill the fortitude to carry-on without her.

So sad to hear of Vineetha’s passing. My condolences to Billy and the family. She was such a sweet and kind person. Always had an encouraging, calm and thoughtful word. May she rest in peace. 🙏🏼💕

She was always pillar of strength and support, and would go out of the way to be of help. Never felt that she was half ways around the world. We will certainly miss her

We offer our sincere condolences to you Billy and to the Gokavi Family. I do not know why sorrow comes or burning teardrops fall, I only know that God is God and He watches over all. 
May the knowledge that Vineeta  is safe in the arms of Jesus, soften your heartache and may time bring healing to you. 
Love and Prayers
Priscilla and sons  Allan and Nelson
