OBITUARY - ANNAMMA KAPPIL It is with deep sadness that I inform you of the passing of Annamma Varughese Kappil, 78 years old, early this morning, in a car accident, in Kozhencherry, Kerala. Annamma Kappil is the Mother of our Parish Member, John Kappil (Babu). Ammachi is survived by her husband K.O. Kunju Varghese and children Oommen Kappil (St. Thomas Church, Unruh), Abraham Kappil (Florida), Mariamma Jacob (Kerala), Joseph Kappil (New York), John Kappil (Philadelphia) and Lisiamma Kunnel (Philadelphia). At present Funeral arrangements have not been finalized. John Kappil and family will depart today to Kerala to make further arrangements for the funeral. On behalf of all the members of the St. Gregorios Malankara Orthodox Church, I would like to extend our prayers and thoughts to the Kappil family. Our hearts are saddened by this loss and we pray that the love of God comfort the Kappil Family in their sorrow, strengthen them, and breathe peace into their troubled hearts. May God embrace Ammachi under His care. On behalf of Shibu Achen. Regi Addendum: The funeral of Annamma Varghese Kappil, the beloved mother of John Kappil, our member is being planned for Thursday, January 26th, by around 3:00 pm, at St. Stephen's Cathedral Makamkunnu, Pathanamthitta. She was 78 years old. She was returning home after a routine medical check-up at Kozhencherry Muthoot hospital in an auto-rickshaw when a car hit the vehicle. The auto driver died in the mishap. Ammachi was taken to Pushpagiri Hospital where she showed signs of recovery, despite multiple injuries, and gave everybody hope. But a sudden heart attack added to the complication, and she left to meet her maker. Please continue to keep the departed soul and the bereaved family in your prayers. Fr. Shibu Venad Mathai
