Quotes
Anjali Sivaraman
Actress-singer and niece of Sharada Iyer
“I can’t begin to express the grief I’m feeling… it feels like a void of some sort.. like something is wrong or something is missing and the world just isn’t right anymore. Everything feels wrong. You weren’t just our aunt but also our mother, our friend, our biggest supporter, our biggest cheerleader… you were love and light and life. You lived life to its fullest, right up to the last second. We made so many plans… we had so much left to do, so many memories left to make, so many laughs left to be had. I can’t fathom never speaking to you again. I don’t know what else to do but to talk to you as though you’re still here… my heart is broken forever and I don’t know how I’ll ever put the pieces back together… I love you so much. You will forever remain in my heart and i will forever carry you with me. I love you more than words can express. I miss you… I love you.”
