Dear Periappa, You opened your home to me and Keerthi for 19 years of my life and treated me as if I was your own. You made sure we were always fed and safe. And I plan to return the favour and watch over your family the way you have me. You taught me to ride a bike, reminded me to always study hard, and I always trusted that if I needed a ride from school or if I get into trouble I can always call you for support. The last time I saw you was last Friday, never in a million years would I have thought that would be my last time seeing you. Periamma and you were like my second parents and now our family will never be the same. You will forever be remembered as a man who was humble, genuinely kind and devoted his life to his family. Periappa I miss you so much, your passing is a constant journey of denial for me but I know you are in a better place watching over us all. Til we meet again Ill love you forever Periappa ❤️🕊
