Please accept our heartfelt sympathies on the loss of your sister Ruize. I am very sorry to hear the sad news. I still remember very well playing netball and practising "shooting" net balls with Ruize of an evening or a lazy Saturday afternoon in the centre quadrangle of the flats all those years ago. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

• Sad news indeed as Ruize is probably younger than us. I do re-call Nikki as a Shy Girl with a Beautiful Smile. She walked upright and I think participated in sports. She attended Lindsay Girls School in Bambalapitiya (The School Started by our Church The DRC ) where my 3 sisters attended. Please pass on Our Deepest Sympathy to Sherin and her Family .From The Hoffman Family. Sincerely, Everard
