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
