In Memory of Komo Ananda: Support Needed

Hello,

My name is Kimberley Palomar (Welsh).

Komo Ananda grew up spending many nights at my house since he was my brother's best friend.

As we all know, Komo was the kindest of souls and always set the best vibe in the room.

My fondest memory is my mom yelling, “Girls, get in the car, your brother and Komo are on their way home and we are out of Lucky Charms.”

Komo was my second brother from another mother.

Sadly, on Nov 17th, Komo passed from complications of a staph infection at 44 years young.

We are asking for assistance to take some stress off his mother, Debra Cotreau.

Any amount, like, or share is greatly appreciated during this hard time.

Below I have shared a poem Komo wrote.

Nor’easter

Soft singular cotton tips mar

Fleeting faces across a parking lot

Blur all whites of eyes upon arrival

That sound is the sound

The wind the chickadee makes

Is snow unexpected

Expected to bear down

Consuming routine

Nothing but empty twigs

A chokehold on the opening cocoon

And the minute moth and minutia of wings

Signaling no sound at all

Komo Ananda has a BA in German Studies from the University of New Hampshire, and an MFA in Creative Writing from the New School. He attends Manchester Community College in Connecticut, where he is studying computer science. His poetry is published for the first time in Interim.

Service dates and times will be shared if set up by family.
