People come into our lives for many reasons,
Some leave us with hard, but valuable life lessons;
While others like you, kind and generous, leave their mark,
With the unfailing support they render, when we are in the dark.
My respect for you increased exponentially early-on,
Seeing how you defied ageism, valuing your offsprings opinion;
From there it only grew, when you decided to lend your voice,
Never any hesitation to stand up, for what you thought was the right choice.
No matter what the situation, you deployed an open mind,
To help mend a broken heart, with your actions so kind;
Always geared to take on a challenge, with a ready dimpled smile,
Staying on the right path, no matter if it meant traveling, many a lone mile.
I can go on and on, about all the good you brought to the universe,
Your generosity touched us most, when we were going through our worst;
You made an everlasting impression, with your simple acts of faith,
Periappa, you will be missed, as an epitome of many such stellar traits!
We love you and miss you!
