23-05-12 / Sanath Wijewardene - A Thank you to our Lankan Community

 

Hi Aunty Anoma, Sanath Mapa and Hemantha Uncle

 Could you please forward the message to your distribution lists.

 We would like to take this oppurtunity to express our heart felt gratitute to the Lankan community for the support and kindness you've shown since the passing of our father, Sanath Wijewardene.

 Firstly we would like to thank the Venerable Monks at the Sri Lankan Sinhalese Buddhist Temple for making themselves available for the funeral on Friday 18^th May, Dhamma Sermon on Saturday 19^th May and Alms Giving on Sunday 20^th May.  It was especially nice to see Sister Kaarunika and Sister Upeka from the nuns monastery at the funeral service on Friday.

 Thank you for all those who brought food and drinks to our homes, as well as the temple  to ensure that no one went away hungry. A special thank you to the parents of students at the Sinhala School for taking care of the  "Mala Batha" on Friday.

 Thank you for helping in many ways, whether it was a small prayer, a kind word, or things like donating chairs or cleaning up afterwards. Thank you for the flowers, cards and monetary donations. Thank you for taking the time to visit us at our home, at the temple and at the funeral parlour. Every little thing that was done to make this last week and a half more bearable for us, was very much appreciated.  

 We'd also like to take this opportunity to invite you to have a read of a story or two written by our father that will hopefully bring a smile to your face :o)
