We are heartbroken with the passing of our dear Raasa Annan. Always smiling, gentle, intelligent, humble, and oh so full of humour & wit. His jokes would keep us cousins in loud laughter whenever he was around. We had a very special bond from childhood, which strengthened after we returned from Japan, he would enjoy conversing with my husband & me in Japanese. He never lost his sense of humour & positive attitude even in the last few days of his life. I will treasure the memory of his voice & our conversations, and learn life’s greatest lessons from his lived example. Our love & hugs to Saradha Akka , Ratna & Sivanandan & their little ones. We share your grief with you. Our prayers for his soul to rest peacefully in eternity. Om Shanthi. Shantha & Kaila Kailasapathy, Sydney, Australia
