Dear Cassim Periyappa and Amani The sudden death of Mani Akka breaks my heart. The pain of losing her is never easy to endure. I cannot fathom how much agony you and Amani must be feeling on losing Mani Akka. I do not know consoling words to make you feel better but you are in my prayers. May God gives you the strength to deal with such tragedy. You have devotedly cared for her for so long. No one could have done it better. Hope Mani Akka is in a better place now. The death can part you from her only temporarily. She will remain in your heart forever. She will be greatly missed by all who were lucky enough to know her. She was such a positive influence on everyone around her and that infectious spirit will be her legacy. May God bless you and help you to sort things at your own pace. Please accept my deepest sympathies. Indira (Papa)
