It was with profound sadness that we received the news of Nihal's passing away. We have known Nihal from his childhood as a dashing handsome young man full of cheer and joy. His friendly, loving and entertaining nature won the admiration of all. We were fortunate to share many golden memories with him. We worked together in a care home where he exhibited his excellent nursing skills. We went together in pilgrimages to Lourdes along with special needs pilgrims and witnessed his care and loving commitment to help the needy. We admired his lovely voice and singing. He made us sing even duets and composed background music, encouraging us to take part in his concerts. He was a driving force in our participation in the Henrecian and Jaffna Familian Associations and he lent his time and musical skills freely to raise funds. We will greatly miss him. Nihal will live in our hearts and his memory will continue to light our community. May he enjoy eternal bliss. With love and prayers Mahen and Sybilla Kumar and family.
