Dear Divine Souls,

Namaste and Hari Om,

I am saddened to announce that Patricia (Pat) Constabileo passed away on November 9th. She was suffering from health issues for past several months. She traveled with Shashi and I to attend the Sangha Gathering and Retreat at St. Olaf's in 2024.

She would be missed by everyone at the Himalayan Center in Palatine.

Love & Blessings,
Anil Saigal
HYMC
