Pandurang Patil
40-A, Mahatma Gandhi Road

To:
Shubhangi Sambhare,
8/8, Karvey Road,
Pune, 401008
Subject: Sincerest condolences
Dear Shubhangi,
It was just a sudden moment of news of the early morning on a telephone that your husband Sambhare had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital but could not be saved in spite of all efforts of doctors.
It is really a difficult time for you because of loneliness as your daughter is away at USA for education purpose.
He was your best friend, best guide, and philosopher. He was attached with many art / drama cultural associations. The gathering of people at his sad demise indicated his love and work for others. I understand your loss and do not know how to express myself on such an occasion.
His inspiring attitude towards drama/ theatre work, still comes before my mind and it is hard to believe that he is no more now. It is only the almighty who knows what he has written. We all are mere puppets. Though it is hard to believe and even harder to live with the fact that he is not in this physical world with us but none can alter the course of nature and this immutable law of God. I can only imagine your situation.
Your grief is unending but it is only you who can pay homage to him by not ending him in tears, instead of making his teachings and his achievements of so many medals and their memories your strength. I am always with you and whenever you want me just let me know. I will visit you soon.
Please accept my condolence and take care.
Your friend,
Pandurang.
