• I am very saddened to hear about your mother passing away. I fact I had just returned home from the funeral of one of my close friend's mother when I opened your email. Over the years, you have kept us all informed of the passing away of relatives and friends of flatters and we thank you for your untiring efforts. Judy and I extend our deepest sympathies to you and your family. At times like this the only emotions that are expressed are sadness and sorrow and that is only natural. However, the funeral I attended today was an example of how all funerals should be. There were lots of tears, eulogies and sadness about her death, but the tone took a wonderful turn to one of celebration of her life which after the service continued back at her home with many reminiscences, fond memories of events, and laughs. I was so impressed with the way the family expressed the full range of emotions and not just the sad portions. One of the best funerals I have attended. So Kumar, be sad, it's your right, .........but also be happy, it's her right! Wishing you and your family all the best Hillary and Judy Senanayake

• On behalf of the Salgadoe family please accept our deepest sympathies on your family's loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family . Charmaine
• This sad news is something is not just the Bhagwandas family will be experience. I think I speak for many when I say that every ``Flatters Family Member`` who knows you either personally or via the internet will feel grief. I don`t have to state that your Mum is very proud of all her children as you shared together a new life establishing yourselves in a new country and the care, warmth and generosity you have shown outsiders. It will take time to accept her passing; I offer my prayers with so many others for her gentle soul where she is now with your dad. Rest assured the Almighty, Omnipotent Triune and Heavenly Realm is with all of you and your extended famiy during this time of grief. May Olga R.I.P. Sherin Davoodbhoy/Block C, 2nd Floor
• Please accept my deepest sympathies in the loss of your beloved mother. Will keep you and your family in my prayers. God Bless Marie Alles

• I too am very sad at the passing of Mum. Our family grew up with the "Bugs family" and she was very much a part of the scene. As much as I would have loved to be there to farewell her, unfortunately I am leaving for S/L tomorrow morning on a Rotary project and will not therefore be able to make it. Please accept my sincere condolences to you, Mohan, Ruki, Kishoe, Ranjith and Rani, on this very sad occasion. "Mrs Bugs or Bagu" as she is fondly remembered by one and all in our circle in "K" block, was one great lady, bringing up the brood single handed since the passing of your Dad very early in your life was a fete in itself, she did it without a murmur or complaint. I raise my glass in respect for this wonderful lady. She is with the Lord, no more worries of the world, may she now rest in peace. God bless her soul. In sadness, Ajit Abeywardene
• I am indeed very deeply saddened by the news of your dear mums passing away. Pls do accept my deepest sympathies and heartfelt condolences and convey same to your family.

I am currently in Chile and will be back home on the 26th. Sriantha

• It is with our deepest sympathies that we convey our condolences to the Bhagwandas family on the passing away of their dear mother who has nurtured and brought you all up to be what you all are today. She has raised one hell of a fine bunch of kids to be model citizens of the World. As we were growing up as children the Wijeyadevendrams and the Bhagwandas families were living on the same level, 2nd Floor, 'K' Block, my memory is so vivid of seeing your mother on the balcony most of the days of the week when she went about attending to her family duties, whilst I was living in Colombo. She was a graceful and pious lady. Our thoughts are with you all at the loss of your dear mother and be there for each other, at these difficult times. Unfortunately, we all have to part with our loved ones one day and carry on life taking strength from from our parents values for our next generation. Our parents are the most precious and nearest to our identities and their departure will have a prolonged bereavement effect on us all as I found for myself at the loss of my parents. You both are like brothers to me and wish I could have been there to see you through this difficult time. Take care and God Bless. Kind Regards, Suren Wijeyadevendram

• Very sad to hear of your mother'd demise, Kumar. My deepest sympathies to you and your family Please pass on my condolences to; Mohan, Ruki, Kishore, Ranjith, Rosy & Rani and their families. I remember your mother, Mrs Bhagwandas (didn't even know her first name) as a rather demure and quiet and also an admirable and dignified lady. She used to mind her own business and didn't interfere in others' affairs. I cannot remember her raising her voice to anyone; not even her children though I am certain they needed an occasional belting. Ronnie Gun told me of an incident when Mrs. B wanted you Kumar to get some butter & stuff from a 'kade' at the top of the flats, somewhat urgently. At that time I was aimlessly knocking around in my father's car with Ronnie beside me. I saw you and offered a lift, which you gladly accepted but regretted later. Despite your appeals I kept on moving without dropping you off to do the marketing, which I eventually did after quite some time. The end result was that you got a deservedly good shelling by Mrs B, in her own way, not just for the delay but more because the butter had virtually become oil. Our waiting outside your door to hear you getting blasted by Mrs B, was in vain because being what your mother was, she wanted it to be kept within the family, as it were. This episode reflects the quiet nature of Mrs B. I may be wrong but this was what I knew of her. Heard Mrs B married again but I don't know anything about the second husband. I hope he treated her like a queen. Love & regards to all. Tissa Abeyewardene

• Accept our condolences & sympathy. I'm sure your mum had a very good innings and left the family with wonderful memories, which will remain in your hearts and minds forever. Though one accepts this eventuality, it still brings sadness and sorrow once it arrives. Time will be the best healer, leaving the good memories to be joyfully enjoyed for the remainder of your life. May God be with you & your family in this time of sadness. God bless, Kumar Kandiah (From Sydney)

• I just saw the obituary for your dear Mother, and wanted to convey my Deepest Sympathies at this sad time for you all. I remember your Mum very well walking around the flats (looking for her kids sometimes), and even as a kid was impressed with her. She was a very elegant and graceful lady. She was a real beauty, and you must have been so proud of her. She also seemed to have done a great job taking care of her family, since you all have turned out so well. I also remember Rani who used to go to SPM as one of the family. It is hard to lose your parents, but I guess this is life, and we must go on, remembering our loved ones, the good times we have had, appreciate their sacrifices, and hope we can do the same for our kids. Take care and stay strong. Warm regards, Roshie Uduman
• Please accept our deepest sympathies. Regards Aruna & Family
