The family expresses its deepest appreciation and gratitude to all who have been a vital part of Jishnu's life -- his teachers, his relatives, his elders, his friends and acquaintances. Jishnu had a special place in his heart for everybody he interacted with, All had only positive and loving things to say about him too. Thank you to all who shaped Jishnu into the wonderful, happy, lively, loving, caring soul that he was.

We also express our deepest appreciation and gratitude to all who have rendered their kind assistance, support and prayers after this precious soul was taken away from our lives and throughout this mourning that seems to have no way of ending.

Above all, we want to express our lasting debt of gratitude to three valiant souls: Jino Elias of India, Giles Parmar of the United Kingdom and Envi Johan of Israel. These three gentlemen showed the most extreme bravery and courage when they risked their own lives to try to rescue Jishnu from drowning in the sea at Gokarna. Most tragically, Jino and Giles lost their lives along with Jishnu. Envi managed to salvage Jishnu's body from the sea about half an hour after Jishnu was swept away. Envi was seriously injured in the process and was hospitalized for a significant period after the incident. We express our heartfelt gratitude to these three heroes and ask that you pray for their well-being as you pray for Jishnu too.
