The
process at the crematory was completed in about 45 minutes as this facility's
time was limited. Community friends in the mean time were requested to
go to another hall where light lunch was arranged. Many of them did come
there and stayed for couple more hours so as to be with the family members
after they came back from the crematory. Every one dispersed by 4.30 PM.
Current/ Future Status (from Darshi Shah - Jayesh's sister-in-law)
:
The
discovery of Jayesh's remains has provided a closure to this tragedy that
we needed and were grateful for. There are so many other families that
will never have this type of closure. Some answers have come out of this
situation, and some answers the family would like to keep private. We
thank you for your respect of our privacy.
We know that
his remains were not burned, and he did not have to suffer the pain that
so many other victims did. We understand that he died as a result of the
building collapsing or smoke inhalation. His building was the last to
collapse. We feel that after the airstrike, he went into a mode of fast
thinking and decision making for he and any group of co-workers with him.
He would try to help as many co-workers that he could reach. He would
strategically exhaust all escape avenues one after another. He would operate
as fast as his physical abilities, while thoughts of his family and friends
would be stirring in his mind. He would always believe that he would come
home to us. He would never let his mind falter and think the worst...
not for a single second.
We
continue to thank all the support and prayers coming our way. Our community
has united to provide our family with the strength of such a large family
that we can lean on for all our needs. There is no way to thank you enough.
