Greatly saddened by the demise of our dear friend Nanthabalan. He was the best friend of my late brother Charles and a true friend of our family and always celebrated with us on all family occasions sad or happy. Charles and I stayed with his family whenever we visited London. He is a large man with a large heart. He contributed lavishly to the community and those in need. He also contributed to the purchase of vital equipment for the Jaffna Hospital. He travelled to Jaffna and personally presented this equipment with other donors. Let God give strength to Jeeva, Thalayan and the other son and daughter to face their loss. May his soul rest in peace.
