Remember me in quiet  days,
while raindrops
whisper on your pane.
Remember in your memories
have no grief,
let the joy we knew remain.
Remember me if once you wake,
to catch a glimpse of red sunrise.
Remember when your thoughts
do turn to me,
know that I would not have you cry,
but live for me, and laugh for me.
When you are happy so am I.
Remember an old joke we shared.
Remeber me when
spring walks by.
Think once of me when you  are glad
And while you live, I shall not die!

We have scheduled a public visitation:

Place: Heights Funeral Home, 1317 Heights Boulevard, Houston, Texas 77008.
Telephone: 713-862-8844 (Contact person at Heights Funeral Home: Jane Hemberger)

The service is open for everyone. This would be a last public event to bid farewell to the body of Late Manoj Shrestha.
If all the paperwork and other legal formalities gets completed by tomorrow, Friday then his body would be scheduled for Nepal by early next week.

With deep sorrow and pain, I would like to inform you that my dearest brother Mr.Manoj Shrestha who had been living with me in 450 Normandy St, apt  no.720, Houston, TX 77015  was untimely died on 24th April 2011 at the age of 24  in his room while sleeping. His body has been taken to the Harris County  Institute of Forensic Science for autopsy, to determine the cause of death. He had been here in United State for 5 years and he was a former student of Troy University of Alabama state and had been transferred to San Jacinto college of  Houston, TX. I really feel bad about the untimely demise of my brother Mr. Manoj Shrestha.

Being his sister, I had personally talked with his parents and other family members regarding this incident. Finally, they wish to have his body send back to Nepal for ritual funeral process.
