Savithri Last Rites

Savithri Last Rites I have been writing re the illness to Savithri since 2007-8. She has the dreaded C and was being treated for it during 2016. Chemo therapy at Kumaran hosp and Radiation Therapy at the Billroth hospital Chennai. However the C grew beyond medication and since Aug-Sep 2016, she didn't have any medicines. Her food intake also decreased day by day. During the last two weeks of Sept and the first 10 days of October, her condition became pathetic. No food, no mobility. no talking ... 11-10-2016  TUESDAY ----   DEATH . At the end, on 11 October 2016 (Tue) she breathed her last by 1-15 in the afternoon. Ramesh informed us about the death at 3-30 PM and we two rushed to Nolambur immediately. There she was lifeless, inside the ice box. Oh my God, we couldn't bear this sight! Our sister Savithri who was with us for 73 years is no more. We went to Nolambur with Priya and Rajesh in their car. Later Subha and Magesh and Venkat came to see her. They all left, then
