The loss is immeasurable, but so is the love and the memories you have left behind. Thank you, Dad, for your guidance, unwavering support, and unconditional love, which continue to shape the man I am today. Your exemplary life will be a guiding light for me along my journey. You were a role model, a family man, and a citizen whose quiet demeanor, great sense of humor, love, kindness, and positive energy impacted others in a complimentary way. Your cheerfulness, faith in God, and calmness during a long and incapacitating illness are a testament to your indomitable spirit, resilience, and incredible strength. Dad, we both shared a passion for the game of cricket. Your long and gritty innings of 96 were a joy to the spectators; it was crafted with patience and skillful strokes, leaving an unforgettable legacy of love, happiness, and a lesson in batsmanship in the innings of life. Dad, I miss you dearly, and my love for you is indelibly etched in my heart. Rest in Eternal Peace! Your son, Albert.

My Grandad was a quiet and humble man who never complained. Even in difficult moments, he would always say he was okay. Dad, you have run your race and finished your course. May God’s peace rest with you until we meet again. Sleep well and rest easy. 🕊️🕊️
