Felicia Marie Geller lit a candle

“I am deeply saddened by the loss of Dr. Kairam. I feel, as I am sure so many do, that he was a part of our family. He met all each of my sons in the NICU at Overlook and cared for them over the course of their lives. He leaves a huge hole in our hearts. I cannot imagine seeking the counsel of another doctor. His warmth, understanding and guidance were so important to us all throughout the years.”

Jennifer Calder wrote a sympathy message

“I am shocked and devastated to learn of Dr. Kairam's passing. I have three sons and he was their pediatrician for the past 17 years. He and I were the same age and our kids were about the same too....my middle son was ALWAYS getting injured and we saw him A LOT. He could make me laugh, at what I thought were mom-blunders but his true spirit came out after my husband died by suicide in 2018 and he would call to check on the boys. I send his wife and children my deepest condolences. The Calders”

Kristy & Chad Rubin wrote a sympathy message

“From the moment we met Hemant there was an instant connection. As the buyers of your home, to parents of one of his most challenging patients, over the past 13+ years, Hemant became a friend. He had the ability to calm me down just by walking into the room. If everyone was able to show kindness like Dr. Kairam, the world would be a perfect place. The Rubin family will forever hold a special place in our hearts for Hemant. May he rest in peace and his memory live on.”
