I do not know how to express my feelings of deep sorrow at the sudden death of my dear loving brother. Really the shock is so much that it has made me lost my wits. He loved me too and so well it has created a deep vacuum in our family. He was knowledgeable, delightful and kind to all of us. May God grant his soul – eternal peace and strength and I send my deepest sympathies and condolences. His Brother Babachchi
