Father James is my good friend Deveshta’s beloved dad, my memories of him go back to my school days ; I was in an out the Ratnanayagam home ; we used to be invited for spend the days and meals at their family home where I have felt comfortable and contented and always welcome. This entire family healed and brought joy to everyone who they came across. I can say I am blessed to have been associated with them.
I remember Father James as a kind and gentle figure who always made me feel confident and kept pointing out my achievements, to this day I recall them. I used to hear him call Deveshta “Rasathie” affectionately which for years I thought was a second name Dev had that I didn’t know about but the meaning is “ Princess” in Tamil.
Father James’ life will be celebrated by many who knew him, May his soul rest in peace. Samanthi De Costa
