On behalf of the Executive Board and membership of the America Nepal Women’s Association of Greater Washington D.C (ANWA) we extend our heartfelt condolences to our president Mrs. Vijay Shah as she mourns the loss of her husband Dr. Sukhdev Shah. Our thoughts and prayers are with his children Dr. Rishi Kumar Shah and Dr. Minu Shah Karla.

It is a sad time for entire Nepalese community as many felt like they have lost the guardian and significant member of the community.

Mr. Shah and Mrs. Shah’s house was home away from home for many who immigrated to USA. His presence, his wisdom and his community driven commitments were admired by many. His loss will be felt in every aspects of community event, but his legacy will

live on for many years to come.

He was among a first few Nepalese professionals to immigrate to USA and to contribute in the field of economic in international organizations. Couple of years ago he celebrated 50 years of living in USA.

He lived beautiful life and was fortunate to spend last days of his life with his adorable granddaughter Ananya Karla.
May he rest in peace and our thoughts are with the family.
