I will always remember and cherish Laxmi Aunty for her hospitality and generosity of heart during our frequent trips to Waterloo between '68-70. The Pai family practically lived in 279 Glenridge Dr., enjoying Aunty's classic meal of 'rasam- chaadam', playing Chinese checkers (one of Aunty's passions:-), and generally experiencing together the commotion, tumult, and unforgettable music that marked the times! Laxmi Aunty personified warmth, grace, and beauty, and I'm so grateful to have known her. My mom and dad's enduring friendship with the Kesavans through the years has sealed our love and affection for the family. Deepest condolences to all of you! Laxmi Aunty was a gentle soul, humble and always giving. She will be dearly missed.
