It saddens us to announce that our beloved husband, dad, brother, uncle, Mr Pravinbhai Panchal, passed away on the 17th February 2021.
He was a very strong character, who was hardworking and committed to his business. He was blessed to have a supporting wife, two proud children and a son in law who were very precious and close to him.
His caring heart and endless drive to help his family and friends was valued very much. We will never forget the smiles, laughter and great memories he has left us with.
Like a shooting star, flying across the room so fast, so far he was gone too soon.
The family would like to thank you all, near and far, for all your prayers, support and condolences throughout this difficult time.
Jai Shree Krishna, Jai Sairam

It is with deep sadness that we announce that our dear mother Shantaben Maganbhai Panchal passed away peacefully on 4th July 2020. She was blessed with 7 children, 14 grandchildren, and 10 great-grandchildren.
It is with deep sadness that we announce that our dear sister Dhanuben passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by her daughter, son-in-law, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren at 3:00 pm UK (7:30 pm India).
Following a study of the situation and having taken
expert advice, the trustees and office bearers of the Shree Panchal Gnati Mandal
UK believe that cancelling all future events is the only responsible option
available to protect all our members.
The health and safety of our members and volunteers
is paramount and we strongly feel that this very painful and difficult decision
needed to be taken now.
To leave it until later might have been tempting,
but would ultimately have resulted in more uncertainty, cost and inconvenience
for all concerned.
We will continue to monitor and take expert advice
and rearrange all events as soon as it’s safe to do so. We will keep everyone updated via our website
and Facebook
