I have just heard about your great loss and have just read your heart cry song. I am moved beyond words and filled with sorrow.

It was so long ago that we swam the ocean together with your two lovely children and mine, which was the last time I think we saw each other. You have journeyed far and I can barely connect with what you are expressing here. But I know that while the views of Reality and our object of love and faith may differ in expression that the mother-heart, sister-heart and the great sorrow felt is where we are one.

You know also that the one I follow, the Lord Jesus, shared Anni’s pain and death, and shares also your great sorrow and loss. This terrible death and suffering is inevitable for all of us, and we who long for purpose and usefulness cannot grasp why such things happen, especially to one so lovely and so young. The Great Lover of Creation for some reason picked this flower so early and so delicate. May we treasure not only the flower, but the sweet and tender love trying to be expressed by the Lover.

Thank you for sharing the meaning and expression of her suffering and loss, and yours. It helps me appreciate and smell the wonderful aroma. And I too will meditate and wonder at what it means for me so far away in body, but so close in spirit. Anni’s death is as sweet as her life you and I thank you for sharing it with us.

I will pray for your journey through this great sorrow and loss, and may it lead you to the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

With my fond love for you,
Mary Beti

I am sorry to read this. Somehou I beleived as you did that just being near AMMA, would help Anni and that she would be able to complete the tour with Amma.

I love you and Link and have no words to tell you how I feel after reading this.

Sincerely
Shirley Tice

this has been one most disbelievin event havinh occured in my life.never in my life have i felt so much void n sadnes.
i spent just 1 day of my life with anni,but that day has changed me as a person.we sang n laughed n had soo much fun..all that while anni,without my knowledge,anni taught me so many thing…she did the smallest task with such enthusiasm…she moved at the venue like a beautiful butterfly in a garden…giving happiness to all around her…
while we were sittin on the stage waiting for our turn to sing,i was feeelin very cold.anni saw me shivering n alittle later i saw anni on the other side of tse stage strugglin to pull something out from under the huge pile of ‘gaddis’.her long plait movin as she did this job..
n then i closed my eyes to pray…n i suddenly felt somethin over my shoulders..n as i opened my eyes i saw anni tryin to cover me with a bed sheet!!i love u anni…there are so many subtle things about her that can never b said only felt!
anni has put greatest ideals in d sweetest way possible..
anni is still very much here,in her beautiful songs,in her sweet melodies,in the happiness that she gave to others..kamala aunty,we all will make annis album…she has inspired me th most n many others..with this album she will inspire many more lives to live n to love!
kamala aunty we know what pain you are goin thru rite now.we pray to amma to give you n link immense strength n faith.
love,
nirali.
