Dear Sothi , Yalini, Brendan Families, We have known Siva and you all, for many years and our friendship has lead to be part of our family. Siva was a very pious person; normally after visiting the temple on a Friday, he used to bring vegetable Thali to our house. We were pleased to have met Siva at his request , three weeks ago with Thali on a Friday and had our lunch in your beautiful garden. Sothi, it was because of your request for us to visit the next day, we had the chance to meet Siva for the last time during the lock-down period. We never expected Siva to depart so soon and we were shocked when we heard it from Yalini. Very often when I think about Siva, I used to get a phone call from him (telepathy). Although, I have known Siva as a Bachelor in London on his arrival, our friendship continued with families without any interruption. I feel, I have lost a brother but I have many memorable memories of our friendship to reminisce. Kanagasundaram & Rani
