Our beloved Amma passed away one year ago, on June 4, at the age of 82. She was the fifth in a family of three boys and five girls.
She hailed from Devinuwara. My father, the late Samuel Fernando was a retired banker and strict disciplinarian. Our family comprised four boys and four girls. Amma was very proud of all of us. We grew up the hard way and we are all doing very well in life, thanks to our beloved parents.
Amma was a favourite among our friends, relations and neighbours. She was loved by all. She was a generous lady, with a heart of gold. She loved taking a lead role and being in the forefront of family gatherings, weddings, almsgivings and the like. She never missed any of these events.
We miss you, Amma.
You were a mother to your own children, who adored you, and to everyone around you. Whenever we meet, we fondly recall memories of you and the past. Your name is mentioned at all our religious activities and family gatherings.
May you be born amongst us once again, with the blessings of the Triple Gem and all the merits derived from all the pinkamas held in your memory.
May you attain the Supreme Bliss of Nirvana.
Your loving children |
