With heavy hearts, we share the passing of our beloved mum, Taraben Rameshchandra Patel, who left us peacefully on 6 January 2026, aged 87.
Mum was gentle in spirit, caring in every action, and endlessly grateful for the people around her. She lived her life thinking of others before herself — offering comfort, encouragement, and quiet strength whenever it was needed. Her kindness was never loud, but it was constant, steady, and deeply felt by everyone who knew her. Her amazing and engaging smile brought peace to those around her.
She leaves behind a legacy of compassion and warmth that will continue to guide us. Mum will be dearly missed by all who were touched by her generous heart.
Forever loved, forever missed, never forgotten.
A memorial service, followed by a reception, will be held on Sunday 15 February 2026. We would be pleased if you could join us in remembering her gentle presence.
Please find timing and location details enclosed for both the memorial service and the reception.
A webcast link and login access details will be shared in due course for those who may wish to join the memorial service from afar.
Please share this notification and related details to those that may have been inadvertently overlooked on the distribution.
Kind regards,
Chirag, Shreyas and Mihir
