The bodies of Bhavna and Vishal Patel, and their one-year-old daughter, Aishani, who were killed last month as the 12-storey South Champlain Towers in Surfside, Florida, condominium complex, where they lived, collapsed, were cremated July 15.
The ashes of the family will be scattered in the Atlantic Ocean, Trisha Devi, Bhavna Patelâs friend, told
India-West.
Devi had known Bhavna for more than seven years: her mother met Bhavna at the temple and introduced the two, who soon became fast friends.
âBhavna was such a wonderful person. She had a beautiful soul,â said Devi emotionally, remarking on the June 24 apparently hugely preventable tragedy, which has killed at least 97 people. Eleven others were injured, while 34 people were rescued. Search and rescue efforts are still ongoing to find another eight people.
