Prior to the Hindu funeral service, Datt and Amar’s closest family members participated in prayers, blessings and offerings to God in front of a packed chapel. During the service, Amar’s husband, sister and father sat in the front row. Before and after the funeral service, a long line of people — many of them young — snaked through the building, waiting to pay their respects during the visitation. “You wouldn’t have seen more of a pure love than (Amar) and her husband,” Amar’s co-worker Praveen Sathiyaseelan told the Star. Sathiyaseelan set up a GoFundMe fundraiser to help Amar’s family with funeral expenses.
