My dearest Periyamma, Today of all days my heart bleeds in sorrow knowing that I have to cremate you and bid farewell. Words cannot simply describe what a pleasant and beautiful lady who stole our hearts and minds from the start of our lives. You have been an inspiration to all of us and physical death of course happens to all of us, nevertheless we yearn for your guidance and strength to carry on until we meet one day. Until the last moment you have been uttering the few lines of Kantha Sasti and Murugan took you on that very day of Sasti day. Rest in peace ...... We shall always cherish your memories and make you proud.
