Dear Ramin & Suhanya, Our thoughts are with you during this difficult time. May the love of God enfold you and bring peace during your sorrow. Thiagarajah was always a humorous, cheerful and warmhearted friend of ours starting from Ampara to Euda Walawe to Colombo till now. He is not only a friend of us but also of many of our mates-Old Hardians- all around the world. What we especially admired in him is his down-to-earth nature and his unwavering confidence in what he believed. He held a deep faith in the wisdom passed down through our heritage, irrespective of religion or race, and was always eager to share it with others. Being a practicing Hindu, he still found joy in singing with church choirs, lending his voice to worship in Christian congregations. He’ll always remain the cheerful friend we knew, alive in our hearts forever. Bala Uncle, Taran Aunty, Raveen and Tamara
