Words cannot express the grief and loss we feel right now. No Thiruvilzha festival will be the same again without your smile and jokes. The Temple and the festival were especially close to your heart. Regardless of what was happening, you always made a point to encourage and support us all to improve whatever we were doing and most of all remember who we were doing it all Our sweetest memories of you stem around you providing us with short-eats, Appam and Necto, the day before the Ther (Chariot festival). Always worried and concerned that we would not eat properly during the busy period. More commonly, our running joke about your deepest desire to carry your beloved Pancha-Muha Pillayar on Ther day Nadan Uncle... We never did get around to letting you carry our beloved Lord on your shoulders for Ther. There is no doubt, right now you are fulfilling your desire right now. You were the original Ganesha’s boy. And always will be. Love Ganesha’s boys Shree Ghanapathy Temple
