Our hearts are filled with sadness and tears but our memories are filled with smiles and laughter of the good times we shared over the years. Ganesh had a good life, and it is time to celebrate his life. He achieved what he wanted professionally and went to Japan to do a post graduate degree that he did in the Japanese language. He returned to Srilanka and served under different government in the ministry as as a Director for Animal Husbandry prior to settling down in the UK. He was mostly seen in our family parties with his 1st cousin Professor Varagunam, well known academic in Srilanka. He has been the life and sole of all our family events. He got me and Sakuntala (Saratha’s younger sister) married in 1976. Since then we have always been a close knit family. Ratnanandan and Shivanandan has made their parents proud by their own achievements. He will have his place in the Heaven. He will be missed for ever. It is hard to believe he is no more with us. May his soul rest in peace. Love Bala, Sakuntala, Ano, Sendu, Puvi and Reya.
