Netizens are Indiain mourning after hearing the devastating news about a rescued elephant's passing on Wednesday.
Rescued by the people working at Boon Lott’s Elephant Sanctuary (BLES) in Sukhothai, Thailand, the elephant named Sao Noi, which means Little Girl, arrived at her new home in late May.

BLES constantly kept its followers updated with Sao Noi's road to recovery on its Facebook page.
In the beginning, Sao Noi made good progress and seemed to have left her past behind her.

A funeral ceremony was held for Sao Noi on Wednesday evening, during which monks came from the local temples to bless her body. She was buried in the forest that she loved to take walks in when she was still alive.
"Sao Noi was such a sweet old lady and we are all missing her very much," Katherine, one of the founders of BLES, told Mashableover email.
