A little message about my Agee As young as I am, I never got to see the younger side of my Agee that my father and relatives could. Still, despite her age and increasingly weakening body, during the seven years Agee lived with me and my family, she was always able to bring laughter and joy wherever she went. Agee always cared about me and my siblings, wishing us the best of luck on our exams and bringing home 100 %s. I do my best to keep upholding her will for us to succeed academically, even if it’s challenging at times because I know that’s what she wants. Now that she’s gone, our home feels so empty like it’s like a piece of my heart is missing, and I can see the impact it’s left on my parents, siblings, and even our dog Rio, who has cried for her since the night she died. It affects me as well. I usually go downstairs late at night to get something to eat, and Agee would always be down there to talk to me while I did. Now that she’s gone, I must go downstairs, knowing she won’t be down there waiting for me; I’m gonna miss that. Agee used to ask me to do stuff for her, whether it be fixing her TV, putting on a movie for her, getting her a cup of tea, or just getting her some water. Being the still young and dumb person I am, I did it and ran back to playing video games. I now wish I had done more because I already miss all of it: the questions, the sound of her shoes sliding against the tiles, her singing downstairs—all of it gone. Agee was a fantastic woman and an even better grandmother. My mom always made us take her blessings on Sundays after prayers, and I now realize why she taught it was so important; now Agee is no longer there. We all love you, and we’re all gonna miss you, Agee. I’ll continue to pursue my education and make you proud. Love your grandson Nathan Niranjan

My dear Agee, As I write this farewell message, my heart feels heavy with your absence. I will miss you more than words can express. Your unwavering belief in me and your encouragement to focus on my education have shaped who I am today. I’ll never forget the joy in your eyes when I told you I had met the graduation requirements. You believed in me even when I struggled to believe in myself. I cherish the stories my parents shared about your excitement when you learned my mom was pregnant with me and how you honored Grandpa George by sharing the first pear from his tree. It comforts me to know you loved me even before I was born. Thank God for the time we spent together, especially in your final years. Living with you was a true blessing, and I will always be proud to call myself your grandson. Accepting your absence is incredibly difficult, and I deeply miss your comforting presence. I’m grateful I listened to my mom that day and came downstairs to see you as she was busy preparing you for the hospital. I remember telling you that you were strong and would come home, but I was wrong. Now, I have no more Agee to pray for me or remind me to make my parents proud. I will miss hearing you say, "No one will ever love you more than your mom." Your love filled my life with joy, and I will always treasure our storytime together. Thank you for the countless memories and the wisdom you shared. Goodbye, Agee, until we meet again. Your love will forever guide me. Love your grandson Jonathan Niranjan

A message for my dear Agee in heaven 🙏 Dear Agee, I hope you’re doing well up there it was really hard yesterday seeing you there cold. I’ve never felt this type of pain before. I keep telling myself “It’s just a dream your gonna wake up soon” so I won’t start crying more. You being gone the house is so quiet now. I hate that you had to leave us like that but I’m glad I got to spend the time you had left with you . I wish you were here still and I miss you so much. I send you so much love from down here on earth to heaven which you rest. I pray every night asking god to watch over you. Before I found out you passed and thought you were still in the hospital I went and prayed and begged god to watch over you and make you healthy. He listened just not the way I wanted. I wanted for you to come home lively as ever with that strong voice, telling me stories of your childhood how you lived with your Nana and more the list would go on and on. I thought of you and still do as my guardian angel telling me I’ll get a one hundred on my test I studied for ever since you moved here. Today was even harder( Jan 18). I saw you there in that beautiful sari you chose. You always had such beautiful taste. I remember you saying that your time is almost here and that you had served your time on earth. I told you “Agee, you’re not leaving me anytime soon” but you were right. I can’t believe you left. I hate being in this house without you. It’s not as loud, cheerful, and warm here anymore, it’s cold, as if we moved away. The house is too quiet without you. Every time I walk into the house I see your room. One of the last places you were before you left. It makes my eyes water, my stomach turns, and my mind telling me things I wish I did before you left. I cried so much till I couldn’t anymore. My eyes felt dry. As soon as you went to cremate I had to look away. I cried and cried. I kept begging to myself “Selina wake up it’s just a nightmare none of it’s true.” But I knew that it wasn’t it’s my reality. I still can’t believe you’re gone. You taught me to do my favorite thing when I feel alone. Color. I remember during summer break me and mom went to the store and bought all these different coloring books. Me and you then sat down together at the kitchen table coloring as you told me your story. Now your story has finished. I’m forever grateful that I went down to see you before the ambulance came. I saw you lying on the bed. My mom told me to come saying that you might come home looking and things may or may not look different. Different was right. But you didn’t come home. This doesn’t feel real. I don’t know how I’m gonna do daily tasks anymore because I was always accompanied by you. I’m crying while writing this but I want you to know how much I appreciated and valued you as my grandmother. Your such a blessing to us and I hope your doing well up there Agee . I love you so so much and I hope you know how much love we all have for you. May god continue to bless you and for you to always watch over us we love you. Agee fly high you’ll always be in our hearts. Until we meet again.

Thank you for all the beautiful memories! You were a sweet, beloved grandmother and you will be dearly missed. May you rest in peace.

To the Niranjan family: Children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, in-laws and other family members, My thoughts and prayers are with everyone during this time of sorrow, following the loss of your loved one. Your mom…had love and kindness that will forever be an inspiration to those who knew her. Her wisdom and guidance have been invaluable to her family. She is one of the strongest women, I had the privilege of knowing. She was a strong advocate for her beliefs. She would go the length and breadth for values; it’s admirable! I will be forever grateful and have enormous gratitude for her for being a significant part of my story. Today and always, may loving memories bring the family peace, comfort, and strength. Rest in peace, Mum. Condolences Pamela (Rich’s & Tiffany’s mum)

Sincere condolences.

Rest in Peace Dearest Mother

Good bye Mommy until we meet again . It was a privilege to be part of your life. You welcomed me with open arms and open heart. You treated me as one of your own daughters . You taught me so much about tolerance, kindness, forgiveness and even how to pray . You taught the same to your grand children and great grandchildren. You showed that same kindness to your extended family, neighbors, friends and complete strangers I cannot express enough gratitude or love that I feel. You will live in my heart forever and I will try to continue live as you taught me. May your soul attain the highest peace. I love you always.
