My dearest uncle Chandran,

You will be greatly missed, but I'll never forget your hilarious stories, kind soul and caring nature! You always knew how to make everyone laugh and have a good time, we all love you and miss you dearly.

"Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die."

-Mary Elizabeth Frye


Love you always, your neice Rochelle

From my post on Facebook -

I have just found out that John Chandran Duraiswamy has lost his long and very valiant fight with cancer. John came to me one day, many years ago, and asked about the possibility of working in IT and I said that when a position came open, I would be happy to hire him. It turned out to be a great hire and he always gave his best effort. Three summers ago I learned of John's cancer and I invited all of IT to come to my home and celebrate John's life and have a great gathering. One of the greatest things I have achieved as someone who hires people is to see the interaction between the people and I can tell you that John was loved by all who worked with him. We had people fly in from Atlanta and North Dakota to wish him well.

To Dearest Brother Chan (John),

You're still here in my heart and mind,
still making me laugh cause your stories live on.
I am going to miss your shining face
I think of you and wonder why?
I might cry or smile,
but at the end of the day I am one day closer to you....
