"For me molly aunty was our neighbhour.We were staying in HB 4 and they were HB 5... Lovely memories with them I will remember her cute smile and small hair knot that she ties up.. Anything that she cooks Just across the wall We use to get it. Benjamin uncle In one word White cotton starch shirt and White dhoti With a style."

"The brave and bold, pioneer industrialist we knew, not afraid of experimenting, fearlessly cutting paths."

"I used to call them daddy and mummy just like my own parents and I always received the same warm welcome from them whenever I went there even in my friend's absence. I could just knock in calling mummy and daddy as if its my own home."

"I knew Uncle & Aunty from my school days when Meena, the new student joined our class. But what Babu & I remember vividly is how they would stop by our house on the way to Meena's place in the evenings. Those visits were never planned never hurried. They would come in, sit for a while & chat about everyday things, about whatever was on their minds that day. In those moments they filled our home with warmth, familiarity & comforting sense of belonging. We also remember the ease of their presence. There was kindness in their voices, genuine interest in conversation & the quiet grace in the way they related to our children who were very young then. We will always remember them with deep affection, love & respect."

"I know Benjamin Abraham since I came to Panampilly Nagar in the year 1976. First related to the church and then in connection with the P N W A. I am sure that most of his time he used it for the benefit of others. Let his memory be evergreen with us always."

"I knew both Appa and Amma being my best friend and classmate Meena's parents. she was a Mom to me like she was to Meena, Biju and Betina. Appa I have very few meetings but he always had a smile to greet anyone who came home. Amma!!! was more known to me and such a loving Amma. Once we stayed back at home and next day morning my other classmate and me were travelling from Cochin to Trivandrum. Amma got up and made sandwiches for us early morning. I went to her and said why bother and she said with affection "it's ok but eat it". Everytime I meet her she was so loving and caring. Love you Amma. Miss her and had met when she was bed ridden and had a memory challenge. May her soul rest in peace and may she be happy wherever she is... Love to Amma. God give divine peace to both is the."

"Molly Aunty’s ( now that I think about it, she’s my aunt’s mom and I must have settled for “Aunty” since that’s what I heard growing up ) love language was food. I was raised on the magic she wove into food that included her juices ( was craving that beetroot juice just last week..sigh!) and jams. Just like how Marcel Proust was reminded of his mother while feasting on some tea-drenched madeleines, my association with her has gifted me with a bunch of food that can evoke a “remembrance of things past” and take me on a nostalgic trip right into my childhood. Isn’t that a big enough impression someone can leave on others? "

"One last piece," she would finally exhale after an exhausting session feeding me the delicious food she cooked with utmost love and warmth. Chicken curry with bread, followed by an indescribably delicious dessert, which she would hand-feed me -- that is what I vividly recall when I think of my early days with Molymama, my sweet aunt. She was sure to bring laughter into the room and leave us tearing up when cousins huddled around her. If I were to sum her up in a word, it is "street-smart". Sample this: She single-handedly faced goons who turned up at her doorstep in the dead of night, with a kitchen knife in her hand, ready to strike if they inched forward and harmed her family. Brave and unflinching. Listening to her stories of bravery, courage, and resoluteness in the face of threat and challenges - over and again - only burnished my own trait (of fearlessness, determination and independence) that I strongly believe to have inherited from her. So did her children and grandchildren. Of course, her legacy continues: Molly Benjamin, who won almost every Bible quiz, who made the popular the squash and jams; who led by example and taught her children to be kind, humble, and do everything with a thankful heart."
