We are deeply saddened and are in grief after we were informed that Ranaee passed away. We grew up as neighbors across a cadjan fence, -the childhood fun- constantly hearing daily the parental noise, yelling and calling of the children. It was the unassuming 1950s. Then everyone went their own ways scattered all over the world. Many years later we met her a few times in Canada. It is the story of many of us when our traditional home and life got distrupted. Yet we are able to connect with each other and continue our traditions and share our grief in a faraway land. We wish Ranee a sad farewell and bless her soul to "Rest-in-Peace". Again we extend our deep condolences to the rest of Ranee's Family. : Veluppillai Sithamparapillai and the Family- childhood neighbours at Sangathanai.
