Dear Aththai and children, We were very saddened to hear that Thiyagu mama passed away suddenly. We know we can’t make your pain go away, but our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. From my childhood, I always looked him up for his pleasant personality, unconditional love and service to his community. May the departed soul rest in peace at the lotus feet of Valalai Pillaiyar. With lots of love, Ananthy Mahendran
