My beloved grandmother Mrs. Sosamma (Susan) Thomas departed from this world, today (21/11/2021). She was 99 years old and was going to be a centenarian next February.

She was healthy to do her routines till her last day and peacefully passed away, after receiving the final blessings and sacraments. ‘Ammachi’ (as we call our grandmother) was the matriarch and guiding light of our family.

Ammachi was born to the Thaillam Thengumthottathil Elavattayil family and was an embodiment of love, care, faith, and family commitment, and the overarching spirit of resilience. Married to my grandfather in the early 1940s, she gave birth to 10 children: 5 sons and 5 daughters. She nurtured everyone and was fortunate to see 25 grandchildren and more than 36 great-grandchildren. His Grace Kuriakose Mar Cleemis, the Metropolitan Bishop of Thumpamon is her younger cousin. Ammachi was a blessing for all. Her advice and guidance inspired us and kept us moving. We are saddened that we will physically miss her for the rest of our lives, yet we are sure she will live and reign in our hearts forever. May her soul rest in perpetual paradise. The funeral will be held on Thursday, 25th November at Infant Jesus Forane Church, Ranni, Kerala.

With the hope of meeting ‘Ammachi’ again at the shores of eternity, let us humbly pay tributes, love, respect, and prayers.
