 A prolonged darkness has set in our lives with the untimely passing away of our good friend and stalwart, Mr. Thillainadarajah Jeyakumar. The ever smiling face, total composure even in adversity and the tireless work ethics have gone for ever. This loss is unimaginable to the people of Thamil Eelam and this can never be replaced. The saying ‘no one is irreplaceable’ seemed a sensible view until now but not anymore. There are some things in life once lost can never be replaced and the passing of Jeyakumar is such a loss to our community at large.
