Sunila Ashok Kuchinad

Dearest Sunila Mami, Describing your love for us and talking about you in past tense is something I am yet to come terms to, because the spark you lit in my heart is going to forever be kindled to. Your belief in me and unconditional love when I was at my lowest was everything to me. I will miss you so so much and I love you. Thank you for being such an inspiration

You will be missed dear

Dear Sunila, It has never been truer than to say that you touched the lives of so many people, it’s hard to count! You gave your all for Ashok, Raoul and Anil first and foremost. Later on taking care of Ashok during his illness until the end of his life. That will hold your sons in good stead. Then you extended it to help everyone who came into your life, friends and strangers alike. You embraced them and went out of your way to help others! I will never forget how you made contact with me after I moved to Canada after we lost touch when you moved here in 1973. You excelled at your work as a social worker with the children at CAS. There must be scores of children, who are now adults, who remember the wonderful work you put in to make their lives better. You were a gift that kept giving! As colleague teachers in Mumbai, I will always remember our fun days along with other teachers! You are now in the loving arms of Ashok, your mother and sister, and I’m sure that you have attained Sadgati. Rest in peace dear Sunila and although you are not with us anymore, you will never be forgotten. Love Nandini

I have many fond memories of Sunila. We worked together for several years. She was a kind, compassionate woman who could always make me laugh. I feel so honoured to have run into her recently. My deepest condolences on your loss.

So sorry for all of your loss, especially her children, daughter in laws and grand babies. Your mom was such a loving, caring and determined mom. Full of love, joy and laughter. Loved that we got to work together at CASL as well. Sending you extra hugs Anil, breaks my heart for you. Xox

I was fortunate to have Sunila in my life at CAS. She was a caring, dedicated person who touched the lives of many. She will be missed.

Dear Sunilatai, We will miss you. We will always remember your loving,caring nature. You have always blessed us with your presence for our important moments. Your youthful nature and infectious smile will always stay with us. May your soul rest in peace. Our deepest condolences for your family you have left behind.

I did not have a chance to visit with you today at the funeral service Anil, but was touched by the number of people that were present, and the many fine tributes to your mother. I remember her well. Not only was she a neighbor, but I remember her from, our days at Huron Heights, Public school. Your tribute, as well as Raul‘s was very meaningful and poignant. Everyone touched on the many fine qualities of your mother. Clearly she will be missed by so many and especially by her family. We are at number 19 and if you ever feel so inclined, drop by for a coffee and some Reminiscing. I would love to see you. Mary Panopoulos, your mother’s neighbour was with. She also shares your loss.

Dear Sunilatai, You will always be remembered for your loving,caring nature. You were always present at all our important moments, always blessed us with your good wishes. We will always remember you for your beautiful personality,your youthful smile and welcoming personality. May you be at peace now.

Dearest Suneela aunty, THANK YOU for all that you have done for my parents in London, Ontario. I have treasured our conversations on topics I would usually not broach with most other Indian aunties, nor even my own mother, such as social work community controversies in caring for foster children, particularly new immigrant and indigenous girls in foster care, and racism in general in the local community. You are by far the most honest, straight-talking, strong Indian aunty I have had the pleasure of knowing. I appreciated your ability to 'say it like it is' and speak your truth come what may. WELL DONE! May you now rest in peace knowing you have made a meaningful difference in so many lives in your local community: I count myself as one of those lives moved by your strength of character and thoughtful truth-speaking presence. In gratitude, with much love and hugs always, Rashmi (and RoRo) Bhat

My deepest condolences to Sunilatai’s family. Sunilatai was a very joyful, vibrant and helping person. She was very compassionate and was pillar of our Marathi community. She was popular among young and old alike due to her easy to go along personality. She will be dearly missed by us all. ❤️❤️

It's so sad our Sunila is not in our midst. I took a flight on Dec. 12th to SF, California, and Sunila took flight to Vaikunta, to Vishnu's abode. So very sad l am, that when l go back to London, my friend won't be there to welcome back. Such a vibrant, caring, compassionate, funny, humorous, outspoken, outgoing and always helping others, sweet, always smiling, ever ready to help anyone in need, loving, wonderful lady. I'm so proud to say, she was my best friend. Gem of a person. Even my daughter Rashmi has so many good memories with discussions with Sunila about foster parenting and social services. Well, Sunila has left so many beautiful memories in the last 25+ years of friendship with us. We have to be content with that. Om Shanti Sadgati Sunila. Let your sweet soul rest in peace.💐🙏😪❤️

My deepest condolenses to Sunila's family. Sunila was a joy to work with. Her unfailing kindness, generosity and optimism were an inspiration. An amazing soul taken much too soon from this world. The lives she touched will be forever impacted by her dedication and commitment to others.

Sunila was a classy lady with a golden heart. Truly a rare person, I had a previlage to know, even though for a short time. She has left an ever lasting impact on us. She was such a kind and loving person with great affection for children. She always pampered my childern. May you rest in peace my dear dear friend. I thankyou for giving me a chance to be a small part of your life.

Sunila was one of a kind, full of cheer and laughter and brought happiness to everyone around her by her sheer presence. It was a delight to be in her company and we were blessed to spend time with her in July 2023 in California. There were numerous family gatherings and weddings of Raul & Anil when we enjoyed her hospitality and caring nature. Sunila enjoyed reading and listening to music. I always shared my whistling renditions with her and she loved them always. Sunila was very much attached to Ashok and took great care of him. Life was never the same after Ashok's sad demise and Sunila would mention him innumerable times. Sunila's passing is a great loss to the family and she will be missed at every family gathering in future. Our heartfelt condolences to Raul, Anil & family. Om Shanti!

My deepest condolences to Sunila's family. I was fortunate to work with Sunila and know her personally. She was kind, caring and had a great sense of humor. I have fond memories of Sunila sharing her wisdom with me and giving me valuable life lessons. May her soul rest in peace.

Sunila had a beautiful spirit, gentle and kind and a terrific sense of humour. Working with Sunila was always enjoyable and she truly gave the families her best. I have many great memories of her sharing her wisdom. May your memories of Sunila bring you comfort and may she enjoy everlasting peace.

Always spirited and spiritual. Kind, loving, generous. Sunila auntie will forever remain cherished in our hearts. May her soul rest in peace. Jawahar, Lori and Anjali.

My deepest condolences to Sunila’s family. I was fortunate to have worked with Sunila for many years. She was the kindest, most compassionate person and a strong advocate for the families she worked with. She also had a fantastic sense of humour and had me in stitches many times. I will miss her.
