Dear JC
I was deeply saddened to hear the sad news about Mary. Next to my mum, she was the most gentlest person I had the privilege to meet. We met for a short period in NF, during Anna’s illness, but it seems we have known you for long while. I will pray that God give you the strength to carry on and to comfort you.

Dear Uncle JC
Aunty Mary was a cousin to my Mom who also had the name Mary and through my Mom we have heard of the wonderful times they used to have at get togethers and the rich family heritage that they experienced. As for us we always fondly remember Aunty Mary when ever we met her in Colombo and when she visited Edmonton. Her genuine love and smile shone through.

Dear JC anna., Our heartfelt condolences on the passing away of your beloved wife Mary. I came to know her and you, very well in a short space of time during my brother Jothi’s illness and thereafter. Her faith in our Lord and her kind words was an inspiration to us all.
