     "Mum, you are sorely missed. Each day, thoughts of you flood my heart with tears. The Almighty God our Lord and King who loves you most has got you now in His loving arms forever. I fondly call you granma though you are my mother. You will forever be in my heart, mum. Love you big, love you forever, love you to eternity dearest mum. Till we meet again at the masters’ feet of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in whom you dearly believed in. Mum, rest on! kasun re o.”
