Journal entry by Minal Hollowell —
(from Matt) It is with a heavy heart that I write to inform you that Minal passed away peacefully in her sleep last night, April 20, 2021. She had been under Hospice care for the past two weeks after discovering that her cancer had spread to her peritoneum and brain. We were able to spend some wonderful time with family and friends, where we told stories, laughed a lot, and cried numerous tears. She was ready to start a new adventure, so we are grateful that her passing was peaceful and free of pain. We had a beautiful Hindu ceremony at our house, and there will be a Celebration of Life ceremony next month.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to Camp Kesem at https://donate.kesem.org/hollowell . Camp Kesem is the largest national organization dedicated to supporting children impacted by a parent’s cancer, at no cost to families.
Thank you all for your love and support throughout her journey fighting this terrible disease. We can feel you all, and we cherish your thoughts, prayers, mantras, vibes, and energy. Your support and spirit has meant so much to her.
--Matt
