Fawzia's sister celebrated her birthday at the lunch following the memorial service |
As in previous years, Fawzia's memorial service was conducted at St. Joseph's Home for Elders at Lansigama, Marawila. About 25 relatives and friends attended. Fawzia's sister Shirley and brother Hamlin were present. An former classmate from Maharagama Teachers College (1970-71), Nimal Jayasinghe, also attended. Fr. Harold conducted the service.
After the service, a simple lunch was served. Lunch was also provided to the nuns, workers of the Home, and the retired priests who reside there. Every month, all three meals for two days are provided to the 150 elderly residents in Fawzia's memory.
