Dear , You were a good friend, a spiritual guide and incredibly a leader who knew no enemy. Your unruly love to Tamil cause and humanity within you had always been a glowing flame cloaked by your high profiled spiritual attachment to religious duties. I heard you had been ceaselessly breathing in of Vanni’s fallen victims’ last wheezes until you too breathed last. Goodbye my friend! Father Pathi, I regretfully say goodbye since my confession of 1979 in France. Flash backs of our unforgettable days spent together at ’s Seminary, are still fresh in my mind. Let your soul rest in peace and let it comfort those who are longing to join your realm of bliss as I am. Hi friends and close relatives of , I join my wife, children and my grandchildren and express our heartfelt condolences at the "demise" of our dear Fr. Pathi. Pardon me, I never believe in death because I count on the continuation of life. So cheer up he is closer to you than before! James Vetty, Paris (33) 07 53 15 05 20
