I am deeply saddened by Shilpa\’s passing. May the good memories of her comfort you in the coming days. My loving thoughts are with you. Carla
I can only say that I am so sorry for your loss.
I just learned of my dear friend\’s passing. I am absolutely floored and devastated. We were college roommates at Drew University, in ResLife together and shared fabulous times and stories together. We just reconnected via email about 7 months back and planned this summer to get our families together. I am soooo saddened by the loss of this wonderfully, beautiful, dedicated, brilliant star of a woman. My heart hurts for you all. To know her is to know the depth of this loss. My family will keep you all in our prayers.
My deepest condolences to you Ted and to Shilpa\’s whole family.
My deepest sympathy to Shilpa\’s family and friends
When I was hired to work at Yale, Shilpa sent me an email the very day I accepted the offer. She invited me to visit her when I came to town to look for an apartment. That is how Shilpa was — always friendly, inviting, welcoming. She made sure all three of us new folks that year got settled into campus quickly, and she arranged weekly coffee klatsches for us. I will miss her very much. She made this place, which can be daunting and intimidating, warm and welcoming. Actually, it\’s not that I *will* miss her. I already do. Celia S.
