MJ Murray Vachon eulogizes her daughter-in-law Madhura’s grandfather Rajagopala Sarma (called ThaTha by his family). ThaTha was a brilliant statistician working for the Indian government who placed his deep love of family above all else - even his own opportunity to purse an education at UC Berkeley when he was offered a scholarship in 1960. However, three decades later, when his daughter Raji emigrated to the US for a medical residency, ThaTha decided to join her to be with his beloved grandchildren Madhura and Miel. He found the courage to leave India - not for his career but to guide, love and teach his only granddaughters.
