We used to live across the street from Ram and Shanta. Ram used to love to grow the hottest peppers and Shanta would make the hottest pepper paste and bring over a jar. Just a drop would burn your mouth like it was on fire! During hurricanes Ram was always willing to help prep the neighborhood houses for the storms. During the storms, as the eye would pass over, we would all meet out in the street in front of our homes during the calm. When the power went out, we would go to Lakeland to my parent’s house and Ram would call and let us know when the power came back on. Ram and Shanta came to our church for our daughter Kristen’s baptism and that meant the world to us. They were there for so many birthday parties and special events and it was a joy to do life with them. Ram always offered his help, no matter the need, never expecting anything in return. He and Shanta were the best neighbors anyone could ever ask for! We will miss Ram so much and are so grateful for our wonderful memories of him.
