    Rajasekaran annan was not like a friend, but more like a caring and loving brother . As we enter their house at Tondiarpet, we always get drenched with the extreme hospitality of annan and Sister Jessie. I loved walking upstairs with annan to pet the beautiful doves and had opportunity to feed them. We used to have happy and relaxed conversations in the hall before TV on various topics on church ministry, local news and politics .They are the first ones to reach us on our birthdays with exotic gifts and visit me during my hospitalization for varicose vein surgery managing hurdles on non visiting hours. Such was the extent of immeasurable love. Annan used to make humor naturally in all conversations. Due to recent interrupted visits to India , we regret not spending more time with dear Annan. He used to assist Sister Jessie in conducting prayer meetings in their house.God has blessed annan with long life,long married life of togetherness , affectionate and caring Son Collins, his wife and grand children. Indeed dear Annan is enjoying the company of archangels before the Almighty . May Annan's legacy and love may flow into all our lives forever.

    Sam Collins and his family have been our dearest family friends for many years. Sam spoke fondly of his father, sharing how passionate he was about his love for birds, especially pigeon racing. We also heard from Aunty, Mrs. Dora Jessie Getzy, about Uncle’s kind and compassionate nature. He always treated everyone in the family with love and care, encouraging them to remain calm and trust in God during challenging times.

    Uncle was a pillar of strength for the family, offering words of encouragement and unwavering support during difficult moments. The testimony of Uncle and Aunty’s lives has been truly inspiring and has touched all of us deeply.

    As Jesus said in John 11:25-26:
    “I am the resurrection and the life;
    whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live,
    and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.”

    We take comfort in knowing that Uncle is now in Heaven after finishing his race.

    We extend our heartfelt condolences to this wonderful family. May God comfort and uphold them in this time of loss.
