Miss you so much Chandu--your great sense of humor, your loving nature made all of us feel so loved--We keep hanging on to the hope of meeting you soon and very soon on the glorious morn when Christ returns to take us home.  

Aunty Pansy

Chandu babai, you were a person who was so special and who was loved very much, And brought so much happiness to the many hearts you touched.

You were a gift to all the world and brought joy to everyone, And life has never been the same ever since you have been gone.

My only regret is that if I had known that the last time I saw you, would be the last time I saw you I would have hugged you and said 
I loved you chinnana.... 

I just want to say 'I love you' to all my family members 

I Know Chandu from Salisbury Park . He was very close neighbor to us . Always he had a smiling face . He had lots of respect to everyone. When going to college from Park to Spicer , he always offered his seat to any one of us in the bus . I remember his jokes in the bus , that made everyone smile . 
         Chandu has left , all his loved ones behind . We have all his good memories to cherish. 
          We will see you soon , when Jesus returns. 
My deepest condolences to your family and friends. 

                                                                                                        Rita Bittle 

My family is saddened to loose a little brother so soon. My memories of Chandu goes back to close to 40 years. He was born in Vizag but I did not know much for the first 8 years. After that, I have been seeing him and meeting him while meeting the family. He really got close to me, Rena and Stella only after immigrating to the USA. 

Whenever we visit Kabab place (next to his shop ESHA), we always made sure we spend at least 30 minutes to an hour making fun and catching up on many things. He always have introduced me as his big brother. We have enough memories of him to last till Jesus comes. He will be always fresh in our memory and we really dont feel that he is gone. This is our status with Chandu

The picture here was taken 25 years ago. I just got married and flew to Poona the second week. Chandu still small and was always there. 

Sarika and children, We do not know what is God's plan but wanted to let you know that we are just a phone call away for anything

Sam, Rena & Stella Vonumu


Death is not something we should ever rightly want to overcome. Love is in this sense eternal. Mourning does not have to have an endpoint. We can bear that this loss will never leave us.

Chandu- a good son, a caring brother, a loving husband, a great father and a generous friend was God's gift to us......



Seasons come and seasons go. Money comes and money goes. Friends come and friends go but a loving friend like Chandu will never come again.......

Chandu, Chandu, Chandu! Everyone lovingly called you Chandu, but to me you will always be Shailander_ass. I don't understand why you chose this long sleep raaa, neither can I comprehend death and its existence. It is easier to mourn and cry in silence than to write these words today. We are all sad, confused, and mad although we know you are in a better place, without pain and suffering. But we still miss you so much raaa. Sorry raa didn't get to say goodbye to you. Even though you are gone and no one can fill this void, your endless pranks will remain with us, forever, in our memories. His coming cannot be soon enough; looking forward to that glorious day. 

We all have our own personal and special memories, of Chandu. I first met Chandu at Spicer, the place we all form eternal friendships. His endless pranks instantly drew almost everyone to him. What I will always remember is the way he could make us laugh with his ever charming sense of humor. There was never a sentence out of his mouth that didn’t make one laugh. I may not be his sister but I feel like one, I may not be his best friend but I most certainly feel like one. Strangely enough no one could feel like a stranger around him and we all feel very lucky to have had him in our lives. He most definitely has left a void that none can explain.

Our hearts go out to his lovely family, his beautiful wife Sarika, his lovely children, his wonderful parents and siblings. We want you all to know what a special person he was to all of us. And to feel proud and honored by the life’s this amazing person has touched. He has friends all around the world, and they all cherish his friendship and will miss him dearly. Today we all feel the void but know that we all love you and are praying for you. May you find eternal comfort and peace in his memories. Love you all and be assured you are not alone in this; our prayers will always go with you. Our God will wipe every tear, there will be no more death or crying . Rev 21:4

When all words of comfort seem meaningless to your broken heart and nothing seems to last forever, Only the Lord can and will....... 

If only the heart can express this miserable feeling of pain and sorrow, I'd pen it down.....

This is why the Lord says ''I'm a jealous God''. 

Dearest Uncle ,Aunty, Sarika Acca and children,

We have the hope that we will see Chandu Anna when our Lord God comes to receive his people!! I Oh what a day that will be!! We are earnestly praying for you all that the our mighty Comforter may give you the comfort and strength to face this time of trouble!! In Jesus’s name - Amen

Dear  Suvarna Raj uncle , Sudha Aunty , Sarika Acca , Shawn and Isha and extended family members 

I empathise with all of you on the loss of  the sudden demise of our dear Chandu Anna 

I recollect every time I conversed with him , it was filled with fun and wit . He was a good advisor as well

Ps 27:14 ‘....... be of good courage , and he shall strengthen thine heart ....’

Dearest Chandu,
Where do I start or how do I express the great void you have left in my heart—a void that can never be filled.  You are going to be sorely missed by me, the family and many friends that you made as you traveled through this earthly journey.  You came on the stage of life as a precious baby and played your part beyond everyone’s expectations.  You left the stage so early and silently, never hurting anyone.  Your goal in life was to make everyone happy.  You played your part extremely well.  You made everyone happy.  Grandpa loved to be in your company.  He would ask me every Sunday to take me to your store.  You made him laugh which left him on cloud nine.  Both of your laughter rings in my ears as sweet music.  I would give anything to bring back those precious times.  I am going to treasure that beautiful memory as long as live.   
You affected not only our lives but others too. 
You always helped where it was needed and showed that you really cared.
You realized happiness brings happiness.
You were kind and gentle to all who crossed your paths.
You were a true treasure to everyone who knew you.
You were everything true contentment is made of.
You were everything family and friends could ask for.
You showed your beautiful colors day by day.
You touched many lives and were much loved. 
You shared everything asking nothing in return.
Thank you for being the beautiful person you were.
You left us very early in life.  We are heartbroken. We are going to miss you and grieve your loss with tears, but as children of God we know that you are only sleeping in Christ.  Chandu we await that beautiful morn when Christ will come and take us home.  There will be no more sickness, no pain, no separation.  We will with glee shout O death, where is thy sting?  O grave, where is thy victory? Until then rest in peace.


Dear family members,                        Our deepest sympathy on the sad demise of Chandu.  Words fail to express our sadness.  He brought joy and laugher into peoples lives.  His memory will be cherished.  May God grant you strength, courage and comfort at this time of brief. Keeping you all in our prayers.                        Vara Jacob and family

 From
Pastor y sanjay Mohan 
And family

Chandu, was who I was closest to among the Suvarnaraj boys. His subtle sense of humour was what made him so unique and fun to be around.
When I invited him to Sydney, his reply was, “ Sydney? You invite me to Mars and I’ll be there.”
That was simply Chandu!
When I look back at our chats and memories over the last years, I choke!
No words can express the grief.
No words of comfort for any of you-
Sarika and the kids,
Uncle CMJ and Aunty Baby,
Kasu, Manoj, Bujju and your families .
For the loss is too great.
Except the hope in our Lord’s return.
“And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”
Roopa and family.

Dear Suvarnaraj uncle, aunty, and the rest of the family. 
on behalf of Elim Home kids, please accept our deepest condolences. our prayers are with you all. Chandu had made a big impact in our lives while we lived at the Hyderabad campus. we are ever grateful for his impact on our lives. 
Blessings
Mohan Rao Abbadasari (on behalf of Elim Home)

Though we’re deeply saddened with the passing away of our dear friend many fond memories come to mind thinking about Chandu. Quiet but funny guy. His humor was unique in that it was super hilarious but never offensive. 
As our Lord will surely comfort you Sarika and family during this time of immense grief let us look forward to the eternity that waits for all of us. 
Condolences and prayers Arun & Gloria 

Dearest Sarika and children 
The memories that I have had with Chandu are his smiles which I can never ever forget. The one and only conversation that I have had with Chandu Annan has left a lasting impression upon me. The words and his voice still echoes in my mind. A man of few words but with a golden heart. Words would fall short and will not suffice to comfort you Sarika. Praying for Gods strength and mercies to surround you and family at this extremely difficult time. 


Dear Uncle and Aunty
We are deeply saddened at the loss you are undergoing at the moment. No human words can comfort you. Only the Almighty  can do that. However, we want to express our sorrow and sympathy for you and Sarika and the rest of the family members. We are praying for you.

Dear Sarika
We are deeply sorrowful when we heard sudden demise of dear Chandu.
We really do not know how to express our condolences  but we are praying for your  inner healing. 
May God be with you & children, parents & his siblings &  grant you peace assurance that God is coming soon.
You are in our prayers. 
Lovingly,
 Kamala aunty & Leroy uncle 


Dear Pr Suvarna Raj and family,
My heart goes out to you at this time of grief.
“I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories.”
Keeping you in our prayers.
Love,
Nethala Isaac kumar & family

I miss you so much that I would have happily come with you on this journey because it's so much fun to be with you........
Can't wait to see you soon.

Chandu will be missed by all of us.  I cherish his fun, laughter and humour..  No Christmas program went by without our Santa, Chandu.  His untimely  death has left a void. Please take care uncle, aunty, Sarika and children, Kasu, Chinni and Bujju.  I pray that God would strengthen you during an ordeal as this. You all are much loved and thought of and be assured that Jesus would come soon and we will meet all our loved ones soon.  Take Care

Terribly shocked, when we heard of the sad and untimely demise of our most beloved child, who was so close to our heart, grew up as a family member, still remains the most unforgettable character in our hearts!
As newlyweds, we rented a house next to CMJs in Sec'bad. Our first visitor was Chandu, and he continued to be our regular guest. Most of the time he was with us and grew up as a family member.
Hard to believe, we still are not able to digest this reality that has befallen us all. So strong was our bond that he continues to remain in our hearts.
We understand the deep pain and agony of CMJs and other bereaved family members, we stand by you. 
Please accept our heartfelt condolences. We pray that the Lord will comfort and strengthen us all to withstand this overwhelming grief, even as we continue to look forward to the day we all can celebrate with our loved ones. 
Love & Prayers 
Balajis

Besides being a close relative, Chandu was a good friend. He is know for keeping everyone around him happy, entertained and laughing (till one’s belly cramps!!!). His jokes and comments were non-political and his intentions were never hurtful. 

He cares for others: I know several people in Narsapur, who are being supported by Chandu and Sarika. 

I’m reminded of an incident: Chandu, Dharmi, Manoj (Chinni), Kasu and I were in Hyderabad Church during vespers listening to a renowned speaker (in our sense), when he used the phrase ‘get pride life out of your life’ in South Indian - kind of accent. Chandu spontaneously and repeatedly said  ‘fried rice’ in his signature accent. The speaker heard it and started targeting his message on us stating ‘I don’t care if you are sons of principals....... However, Chandu jovially said ‘Sir, how to get fried rice out of our life?’ The speaker joined us in laughter. 

He often used to say ‘Narsapur is next to Singapore’

Chandu’s passing is heart-rending. He’ll be missed. His void in the family can never be filled. May God console and be with the family. 

Deepest condolences from the Lukes, Narsapur. 


Dear Pr Suvarna Raj and family, 
We are so sad to hear about the passing of Shailender. Our hearts go out to all of you.  Death seems so final but thank God for the blessed hope of eternal life in Jesus our Savior. Praying that God's comforting love will sustain all of you during these dark days. God be with you all. 
Kala and Earnest

May the God of Peace and Comfort touch the hearts of all the family and bring peace and comfort. We will see chandu in the glorious morning and listen to his humour again.

Sarika, Sandhya and myself would like you to know that the heartbroken pain and loss you are going through is immeasurable. We feel the same way. The depth of sorrow you are going through makes you feel helpless. Days seem endless, no one to hold your hand, no more memories to make. Our heavenly Father, knowing you will go through this painful time, has a promise written for you to rely upon, 
" For I am the LORD your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says Sarika, Do not fear; I will help you."  Isaiah 41:13. May this promise bring comfort, peace, surround you and kids with love as you grieve. 

My heart goes out to my cousins Pastor and Mrs Suvarnaraj Chintha.  According to natural order, our sons are supposed to bury us as we age and pass away.  But laying our youthful, promising son down is most heart breaking and painful.  My heart pains at the very thought of it. May God grant you both strength to go through this excruciating painful period.
As for my niece, the voice ringing in my ear....
You are too young to be a window.  The pain, you and the children are going through.... I feel it.  Please know that you have a family that loves you very much and we are grieving with you, crying with you and sharing your pain.  May God give us all strength, comfort and peace.
Most lovingly,
        John maavayya 
(Dr John Choppala from Salem, Oregon)


My memory of Chandu is his loving heart and joyful smile and laughter. My heart beaks with yours for this incomprehensible loss. Praying for our Heavenly Father's loving and strong arms to encircle all of the family and bring comfort to your hearts.

Shilender Raj, Chandu as we affectionately call him, was always a lovable person, very humble and modest in demeanor. I went to the same high school that Chandu attended at Vizag. Chandu was always disciplined in whatever he does.  Has very heartful and gentle smile that makes him standout in the crowd.  The imprint he has left out will always be remembered and cherished. I express my heartfelt condolences to the family members and would pray that, GOD Almighty would comfort and strengthen the family.
