Dear Vannikumar We heard the unfortunate news of your beloved Maami .. Sivamany , passing away today. Our heartfelt condolences to YOU , and all the family members. It is sad to lose a loving member of the family, no matter how young or old they were, ... yet we have to learn to rejoice & celebrate the wonderful life she had lead, and most importantly , to hold back our sorrows, in order for the departed soul to attain its path of ascendancy ... unabated. That's what the scriptures have depicted , rightly or otherwise ! Aunty Sivamany was a tower of strength, not only to her family members , but to 'all & sundry' , who sought assistance or advice from her and her beloved husband - Manikkam .... rightly named , because he was a JEWEL of a man. Both were humble in all their successes & the monumental achievements, whilst standing tall & unruffled, .. when confronted with adversity. Now that the curtain has finally come down on the glorious life of a great human being , we pray that the soul of aunty Sivamany will attain the highest echelon of Moksha. May her life on earth be a beacon of light & example to all of us , who came to know this wonderful lady. Mahilnan & Malathy
