I know you grieve at losing Anni, and yet, how blessed that she had those beautiful times all her lie=fe, and then too near the end, in San Ramon. May Mother stay close in your hearts, Kamala and Link–you have been a perfect loving support for Anni; now let Amma cradle you both.

Another message from me—I would like to come but I don’t think I can. It is a long distance for me to go for the shape I’m in, and then the next day I fly to Europe for surgery.

In Amma,
Divya

Do you want people to attend the cremation? Can we know Annika’s full name if we need to call to confirm the time?

I Googled Roselawn and got this–is it correct?

Roselawn Cemetery & Crmtrm

Dear Kamala and Link,

I can only begin to imagine the depth of your sorrow at losing Annika. Kamala, you did everything a mother could have done, and far more. And Lincoln, you have been so strong and such a loving brother. I feel very honored for having known Annika and her sweet, smiling nature.

At Amritapuri, I was always amazed at how well you all lived together in such a tiny space, and always welcoming people and cats and pigeons, parrots, and chipmunks, and every sort of creature that was injured or hungry. Your flat was an outpouring of songs for Amma, creativity, and millions of seva projects.

I felt moved to chip in a little to Anni’s fund to help pay for the cremation and towards you and Lincoln seeing Amma on the East Coast. I’m hoping others might feel moved to do so, too. I pray for your peace of mind and for the strength to move forward. And that your path might be lightened.

In Amma,
Divya
