I have known Sheeba chechi for the past 5 years. She was a great mentor, colleague, supervisor, and a good friend. Moreover, she gave me a place in her heart as her little sister. We used to talk about a lot of things, our personal and work life, career, spirituality, charity works, parenting and many more. I still feel you around, especially when I am at work, I feel your presence. Words are not enough to describe Sheeba chechi. She touched many people with her kind heart. No matter how stressful the situation is, I never seen her upset or angry. She was the one holding our department together. It was not a workplace for us, she made us feel like it was our home. Many days she never got to eat lunch, but she made sure we all got lunch break. She attended mass in our chapel every day at work. If she is in the operating room, you see her either holding the patient’s hand during their surgery or praying rosary. She gives bible and spiritual books to patients and families if they need one. She had a white board outside her office where she writes inspirational words which she told me to continue to write when she was sick. She used to pray with us in the morning before the day started. Before the pandemic, she was trying to find out a way she could volunteer in a hospice facility. I can write pages about her. One of our colleague used to say Sheeba will go and work in the VA central office one day, yes, she is promoted to the central office in heaven with our Lord. She told me that she has completed all her responsibilities in this world and was dreaming about heaven. Sheeba chechi, now you have more responsibilities from above, watching all of us. Be our guardian angel. I miss you so much.
Praying for Ammachi, Josechettan, Alex and Robin for strength and comfort.
