Book of Condolence for Geeta

Geeta di, you were a pillar of strength to thousands of lives whom you touched and changed. I came to your association since the year 2007. You guided me on many pretext. Your sudden demise came shock to me. Its an unbearable vaccum which can never have any replacement. May your family gain immense strength. I also pray may your beautiful soul rest in peace.

Geeta going away is a massive setback to the humanitarian work that takes place in Kolkata and other parts of the country by the Hope Kolkata Foundation. It’s hard to imagine how her friends, colleagues ans esp. the children at Hope Kolkata will cope with this loss. My condolences to everyone at Hope Kolkata Foundation and her family and friends.

So grateful and privileged to have known you Geeta. We are going to miss you so much. May your gentle soul rest in eternal Love and Peace. x

Sending my very deepest sympathies to all of the children and all of the wonderful people at Hope.
May Geeta rest in peace with the angels.

"For I have left my heart with you,
So don’t you ever cry.
The love that’s deep within me,
Shall reach you from the stars,
You’ll feel it from the heavens,
And it will heal the scars."

Dear Geeta was such a lady, when I was in India in 2006 I had the absolute honour of meeting her. I can still see her near the stairs as we were all introduced to her, such a beautiful smiley face, the face of an angel sent to this world to help others. Such a big loss to HOPE and of course her husband and son, May her very gentle soul rest in peace, I will light a candle for her this weekend, God bless you Geeta RIP Xxx

Geeta's sad demise is a heartbreaking shock . She was a wonderful person wholeheartedly committed to the cause of the underprivileged. I feel fortunate to have worked with her and her team in Kolkata. On several occasions she had visited our school with the children of Hope Foundation and addressed our students and we too paid several visits to the homes run by Hope Foundation. We have learnt a lot from her selfless service and dedication.She has been and always will be a great source of inspiration for us, at The Future Foundation School. I pray for her eternal peace.

I am deeply anguished to hear about the passing of Geeta. I had the lovely opportunity of working with her for 2 months in the summer of 2012 as a HOPE volunteer. Her relentless drive and passion to help the vulnerable inspired me at a young age and I will carry those lessons with me for the rest of my life. God bless her soul.

Geeta is irreplaceable.Her deep love for the children of Hope was plain for all to see.
I was privileged to spend time in Kolkata last year with Geeta and the rest of the Hope team.
I am grateful for that time.Geeta is a true giant

My deepest sympathies and condolences to Geeta's family, friends and the Hope family in in Kolkata and Ireland. Geeta was a dear friend, my mentor and my inspiration. I will miss you so much. So blessed am I to have spent so much time with you. Vonny

I met Geeta when researching my book on HOPE, 'Daring to Dream'. She was a force of nature who had time for everyone. She said "every child is a diamond that just needs to be shone". That quote sums up her life's work. Rest in Power, Geeta.

Saddened and dismayed by the loss of a beautiful soul and angel, a mother for 100s of children of Kolkata. Her spirit lives on because she moved hearts through her smile, sacrifice, selflessness and passion for helping the poor and downtrodden. May her soul rest in peace Amen. May god give strength to her family, her beloved husband and son during these times. God Bless.

My sincere condolences to Geeta's family, all at HKF and the wider HOPE family. Geeta right up the end was selfless in her approach helping people during this pandemic and devoting herself to others . She won't be forgotten -ar dheis de go raibh a anam dilis. RIP

I had the opportunity of coming into contact and working in institutional partnership. A vivacious, energetic personality, her commitment to humanitarian work preceded other loyalties. She mixed and moved with the deprived at a grassroots level.

Deeply grieved about her untimely demise. May her soul rest in peace.
