Even as late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa's hearse was being taken to the Marina Beach in Chennai for her funeral, messages poured in from across the nation to bid her adieu. Many mourners were inconsolable. 

One of her supporters even died of heart attack after hearing of her cardiac arrest. 

She is being taken with full state honours and millions have thronged the streets of Chennai to bid her farewell.

International Business Times, India had asked you to post condolence messages and tributes for Amma on the website and here they are: 

RIP Jayalalitha! You are truly a role model for women. - Meena

Her schemes for the poor had benefited many and she died at the peak of her political career. 

I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and days before that too. i think of you in silence, i often speak your name. all i have are memories and a picture in frame. your memory is a keepsake, from which i will never part. God has you in his arms. i have you in my heart. RIP Amma. - Jagannathan

The wave of humanity in Chennai bidding goodbye to their benevolent matriarch was a sight to behold. The state is in mourning for three days, but people's hearts may ache longer for their Amma.  

Amma cannot be represented by another Amma because Amma is only One
Amma always remains in our hearts. May Amma Soul rest in peace, said Rajesh Ramakrishnan

Such great soul, my respects, may her soul rest in peace, said Murali Menon

Her boldness and courage should inspire the youngsters, said Vaidyanathan Ram 

JAYALALITHA IS IRON LADY & WONDERFUL CHIEF MINISTER, said AR Nagaraj 

Jayalalithaa was like an Amma to me, Amma to you, Amma to the whole wide world. I will miss my Amma soo much. :'( - Rajunathan

One of the strongest CMs ever. Dominated politics from her bastion in the South so much that even Delhi could not ignore her. Pity she suffered so much ill health of late. A true 'Amma' to all Tamilians. If only other women CMs did half as much as she did for their people, UP, West Bengal, Kashmir, Rajasthan would be better off. Long live Jayalalithaa-ji - Raj Jha

All people wish for Jayalalithaa, who lived a tumultuous political life, is that she rests in peace after working since the age of 13. 

May her soul rest in peace! - Vishnu Sukumaran
