I briefly met Sandhya at Trinity. She was with Tim and Anne and both her and Anne were wearing beautiful matching Indian dresses. Sandhya was very kind and pleasant to meet. I’m sad I didn’t get a chance to get to know her more.

I can’t believe Sandhya’s gone. She was my captain for high school mock trial. I hadn’t talked to her since. But every so often, a silly music video my high school friends and I had made for Sandy’s 18th birthday would re-surface, and we would all think of her fondly. It’s amazing to see how consistent her character stayed over the years. Of course she did social work and of course she was passionate about saving soil. In this selfish world, Sandy was a light for the opposite even in high school. She inspired me and many others. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Sandhya was a favorite in our household. She was a wonderful letter writer, writing insightful, caring letters. She incited so much excitement in our house, from going on a hike together, exploring new foods, or virtual dance lessons. She accepted her married into family without exception or a raised eye brow, and shared her own family with us. We love Sandhya dearly and miss her terribly.

I really cannot believe the news that Sandhya is gone. To have known her and be so seen by her was such a blessing that I will never take for granted. She was one of the most, if not the most genuine people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. When I have beautiful and thought provoking experiences in this life, I want to tell her about it, as she always understood and got excited with you. I didn’t know her for very long but I miss her so much

I studied abroad with Sandhya at IU; we danced together often, and shared joyous stories of our histories. She was wise, curious, and wonderful to adventure with. Sandhya was adored by all of her ‘Amsterfam’; I imagine her bright spirit shines in each of us remembering as we celebrate her memory <3

I am grateful to have known Sandhya, and she was the one who initiated a hiking group during the lockdown. She kept us engaged and inspired us to enjoy the world around us. She became a close friend to our family. We will miss her so much. I can’t believe I will never see her again. She will live forever in my heart and will remember her every time I’m out in nature as I continue hiking with my fellow team.

Sandhya and I danced together in high school. I remember her being so warm to everyone. It’s easy to get caught up in drama and competition at that age, however, Sandhya rose above all that. I’ll never forget the kindness she showed me. Sending you and her family and friends my condolences! She will be missed.

Sandhya was the best friend I made at IU. Knowing her changed my life for the better. She saw what was good in me at a time in my life when I was kind of withdrawn and overlooked by most other people. She was kind and curious about everyone, and so playful. This photo is from a fall day in 2013 when Sandhya let me bury her under a pile of leaves near the IMU (you can see one of her boots!). She was genuine and seemed to see through appearances, or something like that. I think a lot of us were touched by her in some important way. It feels wrong that she didn’t have more time. I still can’t believe it. We had planned to talk on the phone next on Monday, June 5th, 2023. I wish I could talk to her again. I loved Sandhya and I miss her.
