“When the Lord calls me, please do not hold me back” And that, we mournfully adhered to, a ear back when the Good Lord called you to His Heavenly abode where we know you are now, happily reunited with our beloved amma as your heart always desired. A year has felt like an eternity without you here.We love you and miss you each and every day.Prayerfully and fondly remembered by daughter Chamila (Lasanthi), son Lakshan, son-in-law Vipula, daughterin-
