I extend my sincere condolences to the Rao family on the recent passing of Jyothi.  She was a delightful lady and a pleasure to know.

Dear Dr. Lakshman Rao Garu and Bhagwan and Varsha,

This is Sastry and Hema from Rockville, Maryland.

We are grief stricken after hearing the Sad News of Jyothi Akka. All the memories of our companionship with Jyothi from 
Lubbock Texas, Levelland Texas, Iselin/Woodbridge NJ,   Pennsylvania, Dunn NC, Raleigh NC just are still flashing thru the  minds eye. Jyothi always helped relatives, non-relatives everybody alike. She always offered help if help is required.
Needless to say since 1981 we met so many people but only there are very few people just like her. 

Your family is Unique and you have been nice to so many people. We know Varsha and Bhagwan from childhood very open,  and nice family. We are truly saddend by the loss that has befallen on you.

May God provide the STRENGTH and WILL to cope during this crisis.

Very Truly,

Sastry and Hema Vedula

Dr. Rao, 
We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Our prayers are going out to you and your family. John and I will greatly miss seeing Mrs. Rao at your annual Christmas party. All our love and prayers are with you.
Debby and John Willis 

Our family was devastated to hear about the loss of Jyothakka, one of our very dear family friends.  She was an incredible figure in our community, always full of joy and always bringing so many people together. She always took care of everyone in the family—including treating other families as though they were part of her own family. We will always have many fond, sweet memories with her and her loving family. 

Our sincere condolences go out to Dr. Rao and Jyothakka’s family.  You are in our hearts and in our prayers at this difficult hour.  We pray the almighty to give you the strength to cope with this unimaginable loss.  May her blessed soul reach the heavenly abode.

Om Shanti!

Dr. L. Rao. We are praying for you and your family for comfort and strength during such difficult times.  We didn’t meet your wife but we know she was just as kind as you are.  We are very saddened to hear of your loss. 



Missing one of the most helpful and affectionate person. You were  so active in everything. No one has the capability to match you in love and caring  towards our family. Even god cannot fill the grief of separation of you from us. Hoping that you will reincarnate in our family and be with us again.

అత్త I don't know from where to start ..

You were everything to us...you are no less than our mother... super hero of our life.. inspiration to many...Mrs. JYOTHI RAO .... true to your name you acted like a guiding light to us...

No words can describe the amount of affection you have showered on us. You are truly a lady super star because you took up the responsibility at a very young age ( you were always young irrespective of age ).

Each of us was touched by your love and grace. You educated us... taught us to be humble and strong within... you were in our happiness and stood by us in hard times...

We couldn't have imagined without you during our dad's heart operation.That inspired me to become a good doctor and i always wanted to appear in front of you in white apron and wanted to see pride in your eyes.. 

But.. , 

Why did you left us all of a sudden it feels like we are all alone here. 😞

Andariki sahayam cheyalanna mee aalochananu memu munduku teesukeltam..

God has you in his keeping.. we have you in our hearts. There will never be another Jyothi Rao..

Yours lovingly

Dear Chinnamma, 
Amma, thank you. Thank you for always standing by me, thank you for loving me unconditionally, thank you for taking care of me. Though amma brought me into this world, you took care of me as no one will ever be able to. I was blessed to have you, for your unconditional love and affection. In fact, we all have been blessed to have you as a part of our lives. It's been years, and I'm still trying to find words that describe you, but I fall short of them and always will. The sparkle in your eyes, the love in your smile and the warmth in your hugs will always be remembered. The sorrow and grief is beyond any measure. 
Amma, we miss you and love you. 

Love always, 
Vuppala Ranga Rao and family.

Dear Chinnamma,

Thank you for all the love you gave,
 The unconditional and unwavering kind.
Thank you for being my other mother, 
The strong yet passionate, one could ever find.

Thank you for giving all the lovely memories to live by,
That are unforgettable and eternal to my mind.
Thank you for being  the best gift God has sent us,
The one every breath of mine makes me remind.


Love you, Chinnamma, I am sure you're watching all your children proud and happy.

Best,
Teja - Hanumatha Rao & family
