The toy dentures


My elder Grand-son had a toy windup set of plastic teeth, bought while in the UK. He had lost it. He wanted a replacement. We searched high and low in the toy shops in Sri Lanka to no avail. My wife had a coronary by-pass. When she was recovering, my grand-son who knew that she was wearing dentures, told her that if she passed away, that he wanted her dentures. Eventually came Christmas and he wrote a letter to Santa Claus where he mentioned the dentures. Ultimately his 'Baappa' and 'Punchi' got this for him for Christmas. You can see him proudly holding the dentures in his hands last Christmas day.

email from Dr.Sunil Liyanage

Dear Philip,

You kindly informed colleagues about the passing away of my dear wife Bella on 27th December. Some have kindly phoned or sent emails already.

May I use your circulation list to inform people of the funeral arrangements on Thursday 6th January at 11.30 a.m. at Christ Church, Christchurch Road, Virginia Water, GU25 4PT, UK

My apologies to those living outside UK for the intrusion with this notice, when they would clearly not be able to attend.

The family would love to see as many friends and colleagues as possible at the funeral, and they are invited to our home afterwards for some food and drink.

Kind regards

Sunil
