Condolences on the passing away of Derrick

Phillip,
Thank you for forwarding the obituary notice. It is vey sad Derryck was so bouncy and full of life, it is sad to think he is no more. I last met him at the batch reunion in 2010. He had become much quieter after his marriage to Renate.

Please convey my sympathies to Renate and both his children who live in SL. There is no email address to send a message.
May his soul rest in peace.
Kind regards
Kamalini Arul

Dear Phillip,

It was indeed very shocking to hear about Anula. The good thing is at least she did not have to suffer which is I believe what we all hope for. not sure whether the two of them attended our last get-together but they were active participants at our previous ones

If you do you have Vijitha's e mail please pass it on.

Regards

Assa

Dear Vijitha

I was very saddened to hear the sudden & most unexpected death of your beloved wife and a wonderful batch mate of ours.

Both of you were a wonderful couple who always supported actively all our batch reunions.

Whenever I asked for any help towards some of the charitable activities we had undertaken over the years, both of you responded positively and generously.

You may well remember your generous contribution towards our efforts ( Nana’s mostly UK Batch )to raise funds towards purchase of much needed valuable books to the medical faculty library books and in addition, towards the regular monthly financial assistance we are providing monthly, for 2 medical students till they complete successfully the full 5 years and recurring every five years for another two worthy students.

You would miss her so badly but she would also be missed by the batch mates, all her close friends and above all those helpless patients and families who received your valuable expert mental health advice.

May she rest in Peace.

Please accept our deepest sympathies  and every good wish.

I am in Sri Lanka at present and unlikely that I would be able visit you to of our deepest sympathies.

We can can only share our very sincere thoughts at this time of your great loss and severe grief.
Nana

Hi Philip

I read the sad news of the death of another of our batch mates- Dr ( Prof.) H. Sivaraja in your blog which I had missed and Karu contacted me to share this.

You have said an update follows but your link only shows his photo which I could easily recognise.

Unfortunately I had no up date info about him since medical student days.

I wrote a brief note as a comment in your blog to share our condolences with his surviving family but my comments were not added under the ‘comments ‘ column in your blog.

Please share our sympathies with his surviving family.

I would also be interested getting some update about him and his professional & personal progress since medical college days.

Regards

Nana
