Jackie and Family. I am so very sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. Know that I am thinking of you and hold you close in my heart.
RIP Dearest Aeroplane Atha – Love you!!!
To my dearest Aunt (Pedamma), who was so much more than just my mother’s elder sister.
Losing you leaves a space in my heart that can never be filled. You meant the absolute world to me. You were my safe harbor, my confidante, and the person who understood me sometimes even without a single word.
I am going to miss you more than words can ever express. You were the person I turned to with everything—my biggest joys, my deepest worries, my silly secrets, and my quietest dreams. I shared my entire life with you because your heart was always wide open to receive it, completely free of judgment and filled only with unconditional love and wisdom.
Our long talks, your gentle guidance, and the pure warmth are things I will hold onto for a very very long time. Thank you for loving me unconditionally, for listening so deeply, and for being such a beautiful, irreplaceable part of my world. Rest in peace, my beautiful Aunt. You will be missed every single day.
Our Dearest Chiitakka, You Will Forever Live in Our Hearts
Dear Jamie, Gerri, Daniel and Extended Family,
It is difficult to put into words the pain of losing someone so dear and precious to our family. Chittakka is not just our elder sister but a pillar of strength, a source of comfort, with compassionate heart, and a beautiful example of what it means to live a life poured out in love for others. May the Lord comfort each one of us, strengthen our family, and help us cherish the beautiful memories we all share together.
Chiitakka, you were a woman who gave so much of yourself to everyone around you. Your love was not merely expressed in words, but demonstrated through your sacrifices, hard work, compassion, and your willingness to be there for others. You carried the burdens of those you loved, celebrated their joys, shared in their sorrows, and offered comfort when it was needed most. You had the rare gift of empathy, the ability to feel another person’s pain and respond with kindness, understanding, and a loving heart. May we continue to stand together in faith, love, and prayer, trusting in God’s promises.
The emptiness your absence has left is beyond words. We will miss your voice, your loving conversations, your concern for every family member, your encouragement, and the reassurance that you were always there for us. We will miss the way you held our family together through love,
With Love
Mrs Santhosham Ishaker & Family

I’m ZENUS Cousin bro of Chittakka’s Unforgettable memories of Chittakka Her love and passion is still among the family Pramila Chittakka we miss you
Miss you, Chitti Peddamma. ❤️
Though I haven’t met you in many years and my memories of you go back to my childhood, one thing that will always stay close to my heart is how you never forgot your Chinamma — my Amamma. ❤️
That kind of love is truly special. Time and distance may separate people, but genuine love never fades. The bond you shared with Amamma speaks volumes about the beautiful heart you carried.
You had such a beautiful aura and a presence that left an impression, even through the little memories I hold from childhood. Some people may not be part of our everyday lives, but they leave behind a special place in our hearts that time can never erase.
You will always be remembered with love, Chitti Peddamma. Your affection for Amamma will always remain a beautiful reminder of the bond you shared. 🥺❤️
Premila Nianee is our dearest niece, whom Katakshamma loved as her own. The love and affection between them were so deep that words can hardly do justice to their beautiful bond.
Chitti Akka has always been a loving, affectionate, and generous person. Throughout her life, she has carried the memories of her childhood days with Amma (Katakshamma, her Chinnamma) close to her heart. Amma was always there for her during her school days, helping her in every possible way and even sharing one anna from her pocket money. Those little acts of love may have seemed ordinary at the time, but they created a bond that remained precious to Chitti Akka throughout her life.
What touches us the most is that she never forgot those days or the love Amma showered on her. Every Christmas, she would send Amma ₹10,000 as a gesture of love and gratitude, continuing to do so until December 2025, even in her old age. When we told her that she should keep the money for her own needs and that we were there to take care of Amma, her love for Amma always spoke louder than our words. For her, it was never about the money. It was her way of remembering, honouring, and giving back a little of the love she had received as a child.
Chitti Akka has been a beautiful role model for all of us, teaching us what true gratitude looks like. She has shown us that we should never forget the people who stood by us, cared for us, and made a difference in our lives. Years may pass, circumstances may change, and life may take us to different places, but genuine love and gratitude remain in the heart.
And her love has never been limited to Amma alone. She has always loved and cared for all of us like an elder sister. Even though we live in different places, the distance has never reduced her affection or concern for our family. She has always remembered us, enquired about us, and shown genuine care for our well-being. That warmth and thoughtfulness have always made us feel that we are close to her, regardless of the miles between us.
As Amma’s children, we feel deeply touched by the love Chitti Akka has continued to show her. It means so much to see that the kindness Amma showed her many years ago is still remembered with such affection. It reminds us that the love we give to others, however small the gesture may seem, can stay with them for a lifetime.
We are sharing this story especially for our children, who may not know much about Chitti Akka and the special bond she shared with Amma. We want them to know and remember her not just as a beloved family member, but as someone whose life teaches us the importance of love, gratitude, and family bonds.
Chitti Akka, we are truly grateful to have you in our lives. Your love for Amma and your affection for all of us mean more than words can express. You have shown us that true relationships are not measured by how often we meet or how close we live to one another, but by how deeply we remember, care for, and stand by each other.
Some people leave behind beautiful memories; others teach us beautiful lessons through the way they live. You have done both. Your love and gratitude will always remain a treasured part of our family’s story.
You will be greatly missed, Atha. Your kindness, love, and compassion left an unforgettable mark on my life. I love you very much. May you rest in peace. ❤️
Our deepest condolences to you Jackie and your family! It is so hard to say goodbye to someone we love so much! As you said she got her wings from heaven and now can watch over you! R. I. P.

Granny you had a heart that made me feel like I was your favourite.I am so blessed to have been loved by you. RIP granny we will miss your beautiful smile❤️❤️
We are here today to celebrate a truly loving woman—my wonderful aunt, who brought so much light, laughter, and joy into our life. Even though ocean and continents separated us, with her living in Canada, she made that distance feel like absolutely nothing at all.
She called me almost every single day. Every time the phone rang, I knew I was in for the best part of my day. She absolutely loved to talk, and more than anything, she loved to laugh. I always looked forward to sharing my jokes with her because she was my absolute best audience. Hearing her burst into laughter on the other end of the line was the greatest feeling in the world.
But she wasn’t just a great listener; she had a sharp wit, a quick sense of humor, and always had a funny story or a hilarious comeback ready to go. Our conversations were filled with endless giggles and pure happiness.
Some of my favorite moments were when she would share stories from her younger days. She talked about her youth with so much clarity and joy, painting vivid pictures of the past and letting me into her world. Through those stories and our daily chats, I knew just how deeply she loved talking to me, and she always made me feel incredibly special and cherished.
Distance means nothing when someone occupies such a massive space in your heart. I am going to miss those daily phone calls from Canada more than words can say. I will miss her laughter her jokes, and her beautiful spirit. Thank you, Auntie, for every smile, every story, and the endless love you gave me from across the miles. You will always be with me.
Our deepest condolences to all the family. Nadia and Nishan Kalfayan.
To my sweet Granny…We didn’t need many words to know how much we meant to each other. I still can’t bring myself to believe you are no more. Miss you always…💔💔
Pramila Aunty was a warm and dear aunt whom I cherished sweet memories and conversations I had whenever we met, she was full of stories from her life and always welcoming everyone from young to old.
Will miss you whenever I think of Toronto. May God keep you on his side as she is in a better place.
Condolences from:
Hemalatha Bhushanam and family.
