Dear Ayesha,

Thank you for the loving memories of your Daya mama, a truly kind person with care for the well being of others( like your Nala nanda). He had good karma to go so quick on a very auspicious day. 22.02.22.  It is those left behind that will have the pain. However the memories of 55 years will remain.

Having been one of the first to become a widow, ( 25 years this May) I know how Your nandi must be feeling.  Though the body dies( it belongs to Mother Earth) we Do Not die. Nanda will know this . 

Love and blessings to all.

Thank you for supporting your Nanda.

Aunty Sujaee

 

 

 

Daya Rodrigo, Appreciation.

 

Ayesha Ratnayake,

 

Dear all,

This is just to share with you some thoughts of my cherished uncle Daya, Nandhi's beloved husband, who passed away on 22.2.22, after a very short illness. While we miss him deeply and will always grieve his loss, we rejoice in the fact that he led a truly charmed and fruitful life and left this world with minimal suffering.

Daya mami spent the last few months of his life in his favourite places - the jungles of Yala and Wilpattu - and in the company of his favourite people - his wife, children, grandchildren and extended family. Mere days before his passing, he was delighting in the sight of thousands of flamingos in Mannar, and enjoying a boat ride on the river in Wilpattu.

As a skilled, conscientious and dedicated surgeon, he spent his life restoring health and hope to others. Many of his patients remember him with great affection to this day. He was widely respected by his colleagues, while consultants of today - once his medical students - carry on his legacy with pride and gratitude.

To his family and friends, he was known for his infectious passion for the jungle and nature, his knowledgeable chats on various topics, and his generous, sincere and jovial personality. He was someone who loved to be surrounded by those he loved (of all ages!), and had a story and anecdote for every occasion.

The love he shared with my aunt was palpable - a warm and close relationship of 55 years that inspired and blessed us all. We are grateful that his spirit lives on in his beloved children -  Nirmala and Asanka, and his adoring granddaughters Sanya and Aiyana, in whose lives he was totally involved.

We have been truly blessed to have known him, and he will always light up our memories with his sincerity and "contentment" (his favourite wish for everyone), funny stories and jokes, his hearty chuckle, and his adventurous spirit.

Sincere regards,
Ayesha

Hello Batchmates,

Sujiva just gave me the shocking news that Daya Rodrigo had passed away suddenly last night.

I understand he had had a bypass some years ago and was apparently fit.

I rang up Daya's telephone number in Colombo. A person who identified himself as Daya's Nephew confirmed the news. He told me that Daya was admitted to Asiri Hospital earlier, was admitted to the Intensive care unit there, and got a cardiac arrest there.
