Dearest Ms. Navarathinam, Viyalamma, As I reflect on your life, I find myself struggling to express the depth of our sorrow and immense gratitude for having had you in our lives. This letter, though simple, is our heartfelt tribute to a woman whose presence profoundly impacted everyone around her. Born in 1939 in M/Puthukkudiyiruppu, 7th Ward, Sri Lanka, you lived a life full of quiet strength, wisdom, and boundless love. You were the pillar upon which our family stood—a true matriarch whose love was unconditional, whose sacrifices were countless, and whose joy was found in uplifting others. Your unwavering faith and selfless care for those around you will remain in our hearts forever. Your home was always open, your heart always welcoming. Whether through a kind word, a warm meal, or just your reassuring presence, you steadied us through life's storms. In hardship, your resilience left us in awe. You were a beacon of strength, guiding us with your wisdom through the most challenging times. Though the years took their toll, they deepened the richness of your character. Your teachings on love, patience, and selflessness continue to shape us today. As we mourn your passing, we celebrate the lasting legacy of love and kindness you leave behind. You will forever live on in our hearts. With love and gratitude, Mr. & Ms. Ratnarajah Mr. & Ms. Ratnarajah, Seelan (CRNA) Ottawa, Canada
