"Dearest Amamma
No words can describe the void
you've left in my heart. You taught
me so many valuable life lessons
and always led by example. Your
strength amidst adversity and your
smile through extreme pain gave
me the strength to face the tough
times in my life.Your legacy will
always live on in my life through
the values you've left with me,
which I will emulate to the best of
my abilities. There's a certain
darkness in our hearts this evening
but one brighter star in heaven
tonight.

P.S. I'm sure thatha is loving having
you back all to himself and both of
you can resume dating again

Nanamma was truly one of a kind.
The simple way she would call my
name (in person or over the phone:
nana Susheel). Her voice carried
with it such tremendous
compassion, yet in a very small
voice, it was totally disarming and
revealed the kind, truly caring and
humble nature of my grandmother.
She was always standing up for us
(once while I was being harassed by
uncles and cousins at my cousins
nalugu). She was always straight
and to the point especially when it
came to getting married and
finding a girl. She was always
caring, always concerned, always
kind and most definitely always
loving. I thank God for the
influence that she has had and will
continue to have on our family.
Praise God for Nanamma.

Dear Ammama,
ABISHAI
I find it hard to believe that you are no longer with us, but Im also
comforted that you are in a place where all the happiness will be
yours and that you will be meeting your jaaneman in heaven. I just
want to thank you for being an inspiration to me throughout my life
and thank you for all the love that you have shown since I was a boy.
Thank you for the idli and sugar, the curd rice, the monkey and
crocodile story, the Rs.10 in the morning before I went to school, for
waking up in the middle of the night to cover me, for the jokes and
tears we
Andrew
Walkertown will no longer be the
same without you Ammamma. I
thank God for giving us the best
Ammamma ever. Few memories of
Ammamma which will always put a
smile on my face are: the famous
Cinderella box being opened to
give us pocket money, asking the
family to sing Devude
naakashrayambu at prayer
meetings and lastly kissing us on
the forehead and blessing us with
beautiful wives or husbands.
Thank you for all that you have
done for us ammamma. We will
make you proud. Love you loads.
You will be missed tremendously.
Muah!

She was a great sport, as you

Sarah
Being the youngest grandchild, I
came into the family when
Ammamma was not as healthy
as all my cousins have known
her to be. I remember that she
has always been frail, but
despite her weakness she always
made me feel very loved and
went out of her way to do special
things for me. Mom told me of
something that she did for me Though she was retired, she
started a Life Insurance Policy for
me so that it would help when I
finished my schooling. She was
always the best dressed, the
most good looking in the family
and had the best dimples. She
would call me by my full name
Sarah Vandana and always had a
radiant smile even when she was
strapped on to oxygen and other
tubes. I love her very much and
thank God for giving me such a
