Dear Doctors , trustees and members of Avp family , We are extremely sorry to hear about the sad demise of Shri KrishnaKumarji yesterday in Coimbtore. Please accept our heartfelt condolences on behalf of a Mahendra Pancholia family. Kind regards Sushmeta Pancholia

The news came to all of us as a huge shock.I always met Krishnakumarji on my annual visits to AVP for the past twenty years ; his smiling countenance and vibrant personality always radiating positivity and hope. He was involved in so many socially relevant projects and gave his complete life to the community,trying his best to spiritually uplift everyone who met him. AVP was always special for him and he nurtured it with a lot of concern for both the institution and the patients.His emphasis on affordable care rather than profit was very evident. We pray that the departed soul rests in eternal peace at the Lotus feet of Lord Guruvayoorappan. Mr T V Narayana Ayyar,Mrs Lalitha Narayana Ayyar,Mrs Tripti Ayyar,and Mr TNV Ayyar.

Shocked to know our beloved Krishna kumarji attaining eternity. Sri.Ramavariar treated my sister. K.S.Varier treated me. Now my wife takes treatment ( Dr.Tarajayasri) Let the legacy continue. Heartfelt condolences to family trustees,Doctors and staff. Om shanthi. B.Rajaram and family. (On behalf of countless admirers and beneficiaries)

Where do I even start?! My family's association with uncle started over 20 years ago. He was more than a pillar of strength in the toughest of situations. When my father passed away in 2002, our world had collapsed. But uncle's constant support, care and love helped us move on from the rut. He literally treated my sister and me like his own children. We even used to call him 'appa'. He used to religiously take us to a temple every single week. He wasn't in the pink of health and could not accompany us inside the temple. However, he would urge us to go for darshan and would patiently wait in the car till we returned. Wherever I travelled for work, he would readily have a contact for me there, be it India or abroad, and I would get such a royal treatment from all of them. I had the good fortune of my husband and children also being blessed by him. The innumerable memories, cackles of laughter over silly things, the precious life lessons, will all be etched in my memory forever and will be a ready reckoner on how to handle various situations. He was ever smiling, cheerful and always finding a reason and way to help/serve anyone - friend or fiend. We have had the good fortune of meeting many many great people because of him. The void you have left can never EVER be filled, my dearest appa. But like many others have mentioned, I know you are watching us from wherever you are and will be our guardian angel as always. Love you so so much.
