Obituary - Dr. D.N.Wijayaratne

Dear Philip

It is likely that you are already aware of the sad news of the death of our batch mate- DN Wijayaratna. I am attaching the obituary notice for your perusal and to share with our batch mates.

I am aware that he had been ailing for quite some time and felt quite incapacitated to join our ReUnion on last 2 occasions.

He was rather quiet but very sincere and a very friendly person.
I had spoken to him intermittently till recently. He was aware of his final outcome but faced it with dignity and courage.

We would miss him.

May he attain the eternal bliss of nibbhana.

Nana (Sena Nanayakkara)

Alumni Association, Faculty of Medicine, Colombo

Dear Philip

Please share this 'exciting hot news' with our batch mates.

Some of you may remember we made a 'presentation of Essential Library Books, 9 computors,essential teaching material for use in the Physiology Department etc to the Colombo Medical Faculty to commemorate our Reunion.
At this presentation, we made proposal to the Dean ( Prof. Harsha Senevirathna) & the Senior Academic Staff for the establishment of a Colombo Medical Faculty Alumni Association and a Alumni Trust Fund.
Prof. Senevirathna responded by delegating the huge task to a sub committee. We have continued to liaise with the Dean & the subcommittee since last July. Within a year we are so delighted to note that the long overdue Alumni Association is becoming a reality.
We are very proud to share the latest exciting hot news that there is a dazzling light at the end of the tunnel and all our dreams are coming true.

If you do not believe me,Here is the official proclamation sent out by the Organisers

My special thanks to the Dean & the Sub committee members and all those who supported us in various ways with all the useful suggestions and encouragement.

Best wishes
Nana
