Our deepest condolences on her loss. She was a wonderful woman and like a mother figure to me. She will be forever missed. Hope Jassi and Joty stay strong.
Seeta was always a person who cared deeply. This was clear in the way she helped her friends and family, the nurse she was, and the way she raised her children. She helped our family significantly when we moved to Canada. She quickly became like family and went out of her way to make sure we were all taken care of. There are so many memories of our families spending time with each other, walking to each others homes. Her door was always open and her smile lit up the room. We are deeply saddened at the loss you, Jasbir, and others are feeling. Take care of each other like your mum would have wanted. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything.
Sending our heartfelt condolences. We only met Seeta this year, but were drawn to her warmth and kindness immediately. Her beautiful spirit is reflected in the love and joyfulness of her children and grandchildren. Her patients were lucky for her care. She will be missed dearly and remembered fondly.
Heartfelt condolences to Joty, Jas and the extended Bedi family. We wish you strength in your time of sorrow 💐 🤍
Sincere condolences on your loss. I remember greeting Seeta aunty on her first day in Canada. She lived with our family in her early years in Canada and my father helped her in getting admission to Red River College where she started her career. She was a good person and worked hard all her life. My sympathies to Jasbir and Prabhjot. May she have peace.☮️
