Everyone who knew Amma would say she lived a life led by the Lord and was a blessing to all even in the last years of her life. She lived with conviction and heart of gratitude. While we are sad, that she is no longer here with us on Earth. We know she is celebrating with her Savior in Heaven, whom she desired to always meet.
