I will never forget the day, 10 years ago, when we got the dreaded call from Sri Lanka that you had passed away Ammapppa. I will never forget the way my mother, aunt and uncle shrieked and sobbed at your funeral as the fact that we would never see you again began to sink in. I will never forget what an incredible headteacher you were at a number of schools across your village, and the way you helped them to reach their full potentials in every way possible, treating them as your own children. I will never forget my mother’s stories of the countless number of sacrifices you made in your life to ensure that your children had everything they could possibly need, and how you endlessly supported my mother to become the lawyer she is today. I pray each and every day that you are at peace, and I promise to one day make you proud, the way you made us proud to call you our grandfather. Your loving granddaughter, Andrea Sylvester Concharles
