Thanks, Philip.
I  attended the Banna ceremony today. Our Melbourne batchmates were well represented.
Among the facts that were highlighted were that she has done an enormous lot of work for the Buddist Society of Victoria over  a 40 year period, was instrumental in establishing a monastery in Victoria and was the first non Christian Head Girl at Methodist College, Colombo.

Hello Philip,

This is to give you some sad news. Meththa Kurukulasooriya (Muniratna) from our batch passed away two days ago in Melbourne.

She had pulmonary fibrosis and required oxygen. I am not sure what the terminal event was.

Please pass this on to the rest of the batch.

Thanks,

Very sad indeed.

Meththa had been such a lovely batch mate who was very friendly and sociable.

She will be missed by her family and friends.

Please convey our deepest sympathies to her surviving family.
