Dear Bernard

I have just heard the very sad news of the death of your beloved wife Sheela.

Please accept our deepest sympathies.

We can only offer our condolences and share the grief and the enormous loss to you and your family at this time of your greatest need.

You must be devastated and full of grief.

I still remember vividly how we came along and shared your hard times when you got married during your student days. You were staying near Campbell Park and Sheela did entertain us and was very pleased to see us.

As Buddhists we should be able to rationalise the life cycle of Samsara.

Every living being is sure to die( which proves the impermanence) but what is not certain is how, when and where( total uncertainty of life).

May she attain the eternal bliss of Nibbhana.

Yours sincerely

Nana
