Thinking of you always. I miss your humor and your soft smile and you calling me kannamma. I really miss the sound of your voice.
I will always remember when Swami Sridharananda came to Kansas City (I think it was 2009) and you brought food for his teatime. When Kris mentioned that you had been to see him in Sydney, he lighted up! He so appreciated anyone who came that long way to visit. Very few people, even those in India, came to see him. He lighted up the room wherever he went, and he still does! His love is a great light for all! Krishna also had that light-up the love quality!
When he entered a room there was great excitement!
Love to you in happy memory of dear Krishna!

I will always remember your kind eyes and sweet voice. You were always cheerful. When Swam Sridharanana came to KC from Australia (during a tour of USA) you and Padma provided a supper for him at VSKC. You mentioned that you and Padma had visited him in Australia. His face lit up, remembering your visit. He said very few came to visit him, and he really appreciated their making the very long trip. You did so much for so many. You will always be temembered with love. Love, uma
I miss Krishna's smile. He was always cheerful. He always had time to answer any question. He was so proud of both of you. You both worked so hard and made a happy homelife for the family and for your many friends. I remember being at your home for two special pujas, both in the fall on different years. Krishna also helped the interfaith council, when Vern Barnet was trying to keep it together. I know Kris was very happy when Priya met her wonderful husband to be.
Love and Peace! Siva! Siva!

Wish you all happiness where ever you are. Keep up that flamboyance and the enchanting smile! Our association was short but memories are for ever. Thank you for having been there!
Your Kris was such a beautiful soul and beautiful in all his ways. He was always cheerful and smiling. Remembering that can light up each day for you and all of us who knew him.
You both gave of yourselves in helping him in the last phase of his beautiful life.
Love always!
Jai Thakur!

Siva! Siva! Siva!
Love, uma
we remember you very dearly. How time flies by!
Your association is a fond memory to us.
joy and at times sorrow together and the fact he is no longer physically here does not diminish that .At Priya' wedding , it was a joyful reminder that though Krishna was not there to meet us in person, he lived in our mind and will remain forever

This website is for all the people who love you and will miss you more than words can ever express. I'm so happy you are not suffering anymore but the void you have left in my heart and my life is immense. I'm incredibly sad you will not be at my wedding physically but I know you will be in spirit.

To the family, close friends, and associates of Ramamoorthy Krishna:
While I did not know Ramamoorthy Krishna personally, I did have occasion to greet him now and again when I would bring my Bethel College students to the HTCC for the Celebration of the Holi; always the gentle soul, he made me and my students feel welcome. I also enjoyed very much reading his columns in the KC Star Voices of Faith. These columns not only clarified essentials of the Hindu Faith, but also helped the reader to see how that faith complemented other faiths - particularly Islam and Christianity. On more than one occasion, I would include them in my students' required list of readings pertaining to the ongoing inter-faith dialogue we engaged in during our class time. I offer my respectful condolences to his family, close friends, and associates. You will be in my thoughts and prayers for the weeks and months to come.
As ever,
