Dear Aunty,
I cherish all the talks, all the laughs and cries we had together, all the petty fights and all the more fun we had together. Many,  many, many times, I've told you, that you're more than a mom to me.
Married into the Ponnaiya family consisting of 4 siblings, Paul Ravinder Ponnaiya, Vijay Anand Ezekiel Ponnaiya,  Immanuel Rajkamal Ponnaiya and Kavitha Reddy, oh, let's not forget your late adopted Sabitha, you taught me in your unique, distinctive ways, customized specially for me, how to face life coming to USA as a new wife, and a new mother and you stayed with me and prayed for me till the end.
Thank you for being the world's greatest grandma for Jason and Aaron and sharing all the amazing stories of Appa and your adventures with him in India. Those stories will be always cherished by all of us.
Every evening when I head home from work, I hear your voice. I'm saving all your voice messages (they're treasures to me) for years to come, so I can strengthen myself as I grieve for you. I'm waiting for that special day we spoke about: "The Rapture" where I stand before my ALMIGHTY GOD to meet with you. Until then... I love you. Goodbye temporarily.
Your dtr-in-law,
Juno Jothi Ponnaiya,  along with your grandsons Jason and Aaron Ponnaiya.

Aunty Mrs. Selvarani Ponnaiya was a living testimony of the Bible verse 1 Corinthians 13:13 “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love”. From the day my family met auntie’s wonderful family about twenty years ago, until her last breath on this earth, aunty loved my family so dearly. We were very close to her heart. She simply loved us like her own son, daughter and grand kids. Her joy and hospitality is incomparable. The memories will last forever in us. Her affectionate heart towards people and God, her kind words and an overwhelming compassion will be forever remembered by us. Aunty was a faithful disciple of God and a prayer warrior. I thank the Almighty for giving aunty with such a loving heart and a fruitful life that blessed so many. With much gratitude, with deep sorrow, and with a heavy heart, we say good bye to aunty Selvarani Ponnaiya, until we meet her in the eternity.

Dear Mom, 
I remember what a fantastic wife you were to my father Sri T Ponnaiya MA IPS. I also remember what a loving Mom you were to your children, I remember no one who came to our house, the well to do, poor, and even my friends would go hungry, you would serve tasty food with loving care and attention. I remember the visits to our grand dad your father Dr. M. Paulraj and how you loved him and your family, it would show in your face and actions. Your indomitable spirit should be an example for those who have known you.
Now you are back with my Dad and Almighty God,
Lots of love,
Your eldest son,
Ravi,
Your daughter in law Gomathy,
And your grandson Immanuel 


Miss you Periamma, very little but fond memories of our Hyderabad visit & her visits to our home in Chennai when I was very young few decades back. Great women with hospitality & caring nature.

The most important & blessed is her generations are in Christ. Glory to God.

She is resting in paradise  free from pain & troubles of this world. 
 As one of song says Soon & very soon we are going to see the King, Hallelujah 🙌 Those who are in Christ will meet her again during Jesus secret coming . Let us comfort each other with this faith & Shalom be with you all. 

Yours Loving 
Solomon Thangaswamy & family

I pray for the peace that passes all understanding on those that are hurting from the passing of my Mom. This peace can only come from Jesus Christ if you have a true relationship with HIM.
The memories I have of my Mom are unique to me. I am sure you have the same. My Mom was beautiful inside and out. If you knew my Mom you should know she prayed for you. If you did not know my Mom you should know she prayed for you. She prayed for all the people living on this planet. I know that My Mom is finally pain free and is in God's Presence Worshiping HIM. I can hardly wait to join her.
