When our mother passed away Bala was only three years old. and our Sinnamma (step-mother) took charge of him, cared and loved him as her eldest child. In his childhood Bala was fondlycalled as‘KUNCHU’(குஞ்சு) by all. In reciprocation of the endless maternal love he received from Sinnamma he was always grateful and made himself available whenever she needed his care and assistance. He was a tremendous source of support to her and the family till his last. As kids, we lived together, we loved each other, we fought, we cried and all the memories we share is what bonds us. Bala maintained his enduring love and attachment to his siblings till his last breath. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as GOD calls us one by one, the chain will link again. “A PRECIOUS LOVING BROTHER AND A FAITHFUL FRIEND, WE’LL ALL MISS YOU VERY MUCH.” ‘GOOD BYE TILL WE MEET.’ Rasannachi
