Remembrance day- by Chirasri Jayaweera Bandara
My dear friend left us on 8th October 2014.
I saw her several times when she bravely faced her illness. I admired her courage and she used to say "We should look at the brighter side of everything."
We used to travel together in a private car with
Late Kamini Ferdinando (nee Gunawardena) and Padmini Gunawardena to
Medical College.
Priya's and our family lived together in Kandy too and we used to visit each other and have meals together. She was a great friend always with a smile on her face and a great sense of humour. We enjoyed her company.
I miss her very much.
My deepest condolences to Chula and daughters
Sharini and Anjali.
Chirasri, Thank you for this photo which shows Priya just as I remember her- with her lovely smile-
ReplyDeleteKamini was in New Zealand for a few years before she left for Australia and we met frequently then . Her death came as a shock to me and I do miss chatting with her on the phone.

DeleteThank you for those lovely memories of Priya. It was such a pleasure to work with her during internship. Wonderful company and a great girl full of fun. Priya left us far too soon. Miss her very much.

DeleteThank you very much for your comment. The photo was Mahendra's inclusion.
Kamini went to New Zealand first, her family used to come and consult me re their eyes before they joined her.

Priya will always be remembered for her sunny and cheerful personality. Her bravery and courage when she faced her last illness is a lesson for all of us - she was very special.
