Manu's life of total obedience, love and service to Beloved Baba till the very end has been an inspiration to all who have met her. Her constant remembrance of and focus on Meher Baba are precious touchstones guiding our way to His feet. Her sole desire was to die with Baba's Name on her lips and as she returned to Him, her family and caregivers ensured that she heard Baba's name till the very end.
