Memories

  1. Dear Uncle Eric,
    It’s been a pleasure to have known you for so many years through your daughter one of my best class mates Sheran. When ever we met you and Aunty Grace you were always happy to entertain us. We will always remember your beautiful smile and kindness.
    We will miss you but we know you are with God and Aunty.
    May your soul rest in peace. xxx

  2. We are so very grateful to have been your friends for these many years, & send sincere wishes for your comfort at this time of your loss. The Bible says, “absent from the body, present with the Lord”. We appreciate your thoughtfulness. We send you our love, Penny & Barbara.

  3. Dear Eric uncle, we will cherish the wonderful memories we have of you today and everyday.
    Love you always.
    May your soul rest in peace

  4. Our dear Eric, Grace, Sheran & Priya formed such a beautiful family unit we met in our 3rd year in Kitwe , Zambia. Our great friendships and regular parties including sing-along sessions are still so much alive in our hearts, bringing vivid memories of that wonderful bygone era. The 7 years we spent there were the best times of our lives.
    Since then, I didn’t fail to drop in and meet Eric, Grace and Sheran about twice or thrice during our visits to London.
    With divine blessings, may our beloved Eric rest in peace.

  5. Our times with uncle Eric, Aunty Grace and Sheren in Kitwe, Zambia were some of the most memorable and dearest times to us as a family, their house was always filled with laughter and music and all the parties ended with maestro Uncle Eric taking to the keyboard and what fun we had!!! ❤️❤️❤️I recall as a youngster on Christmas Eve (also Sheren’s birthday) uncle Eric flaming brandy on a silver ladle and pouring it over the amazing Christmas cake – the whole room lit up and it brought such joy to us all ❤️❤️ My father missed Eric’s company dearly and spoke of all the good times in Kitwe for years after we migrated to Australia, to our dearest friends and the Perera family – we will miss Eric and Grace dearly, we were so fortunate and blessed to have spent wonderful times with them, RIP uncle Eric, God bless – with fondest love Ponnambalam family (Sydney)

  9. As I look back to the past, deep in my heart there lies the shadow of my beloved Uncle Eric, engulfed with sweet memories and who lived a great & successful life, gaining the respect of intelligent people as well as the immense love of his two daughters, Sheran and Priya. The simple life you have spent in this world with innocent smiles on your face and overflowing love in your heart, have drawn the attention of everyone. I am really happy that’ inexplicably he has filled his niche and accomplished the task of life. You never grew old dear Uncle Eric. Your smile was made of sunshine and your heart was solid gold overflowing with love. Your eyes were as bright as shining stars. Eventhough the past memories draw tears into my eyes I know that the Almighty God has brought eternal rest to his soul. Thank you dear Uncle Eric for all you have done to us, your family relatives and friends. On behalf of all the relatives, at this sorrowful moment we are grateful to you dear Uncle Eric for all the good things you have done for us. Good old memories will linger in our hearts for ever. Deepest sympathies to dear Sheran, Priya and the rest. May his soul rest in peace. With all our Love. Desmond and Chrishanthi.
