Thank you for letting us see the beauty that lay behind the impish face I remember from half a century ago in med school. May time make your great loss easier to bear.

Neither have I failed in my duty and added this later.

I may have missed the beginning of this post as I cannot recall the beautifully written eulogy by Krishnaveni. Is it possible that Lucky added it later. It reinforced my feeling that I really missed associating with a really special person. I can understand how both of you, the children, mud miss him but I am equally certain that you are dealing with his loss which would make him proud of you both.

We can now truly appreciate the inner mind, the kind nature and noble doings of Vedavanum. It shows that he not only was an excellent doctor, but he also was a wonderful father, dutiful son and valuable friend. It’s never too late to add the glory and trappings to the name and memory of a batch mate who we sat with all those years. I am glad I am now able to see what a wonderful person he was. He will be remembered by all he treated, worked with, touched the lives of, and above all by his dear family. I thank Krishnaveni and Sivatharan for the wonderful words of appreciation above.

My thoughts go back to those happy years of our youth. The many hours spent putting the world to right at the Health Dept Sports Club. The journeys we did together collecting blood for the Transfusion Service and the warm evenings spent chatting under the stars amidst hundreds of fireflies and hordes of mosquitoes. My generous, kind and thoughtful friend. May you find Eternal Peace.Dr Nihal D Amerasekerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02583970465135902534noreply@blogger.com
