“Today, you will be in paradise” ( John 23:43) The life of Vasantheny Akka, has been a real witness to Christian faith. Faith for her was a relationship with Christ and His beloved mother, Mary, Mother of mercy. This inner life gave Akka a tremendous courage and strength to live, to love life and to aspire higher things. I pay tribute for her witness to her faith. I offer my prayers for her family and relatives and friends. Life continues. Heaven is her homeland; a paradise - King’s private garden; the soul meets her beloved creator; garden was Akka’s passion. Heaven is where choirs of heavenly hosts are praising and rejoicing; Vasantheny Akka has attained blissful state. May her soul rest in peace. Let her faith in God shine amongst us. Mathy
