Fond Childhood, Cherished Memories, Heartfelt Sorrow Dear Sasse, I was saddened to hear of your untimely demise and it brought back cherished memories of out time at Uduvil where we used to share the front seat on the A40 for many years. The holidays were always fun and joyful where my grand mother would bring us to Mallaham and I remember fondly the long walk down the lane. We shared the same maternal Grandfather, Chinnappu, and our families have always moved very closely. I was pleasantly happy to hear that you were a prominent member of the Tamil community in Markham having tutored so many students in mathematics and it was only since your demise, many of them have come to know that we were second cousins. Your demise has left an unfillable void within the Markham Tamil community . We last met in August 2022 and while you were there at my wife’s grandmother’s funeral (Azhagamma) in April 2023, had I attended, I would have met you, and my wife was not aware that you were my 2nd Cousin. Many of them have reminded me of your kind and gentle nature, softly spoken and always ready and willing to offer your help. You will be forever within our hearts. My heart felt condolence to Rajini, Sarika, Sabika, Sri, Susheela, Kiri, Yaso , Kujukili Maami and Nagarajah uncle . Selvam (Sivasoruban UK)
