Our heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies for the demise of Dr. Coomarasamy. He was a relative and was married to our cousin Komathy. He was a neighbour to us in Ariyalai, Jaffna. We lost a good friend and mentor. His children were very close to us and always respected us as Uncle and Auntie. I wish and pray that almighty Sithivinaygar will give adequate strength to my cousin Komathy and her children to get through this difficult period.
