Brother-in-law, also a Best Friend

Vadivullan Alagappan, Hamburg, Germany (Alamu's brother)

I express my regrets for our loss and a huge gap that Vellay had left in our family. That was indeed a sad day for all of us. We have lost such a great person, and nothing in this world would compensate for the distress scenario which had occurred. Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult thing we can ever go through, and that to, so much more depressing if it is one among us. No word can squeeze out our state of mind now. And Its certain enough, only time can help us to accede the sad event.

Vellay had been more than a brother-in-law to me. I still remember those days, which we had spent together in India. In fact, he was the person who guided in reaching the pinnacle of success in my carrier and of course personal too. He is also the only person to whom I disclose myself. I know, Vellay has left lot of things undone and dreams that he never had a chance to achieve. But, I swear, we will make it true with full fledged heart, what he had dreamed. This is just my small way of expressing, my thanks towards everything what he has done for me. We're just thankful for all the moments, that he has left us and with that, I hope, Vellay will continue to live within our hearts and minds forever.

Miss you Vellay - Vadivu.

With the blessings from my sweet and smart Aiythan
You really lived up to your name as Vellayappan. MAN OF SMILE & LOVE
You are a smart & composed person and your smile is precious.
You are the best Aiythan for me.
You were the newest addition to our family.
You were the first person who inspired me a lot in each and everything
You were the first person who guided me to success in my first project
You were the first person who inspired me to improve my communication skills
You were the first person who pronounced my name differently
You were the first person who inspired me to help others and orphans
You were the first person who taught us how to lead a well- mannered life in the society
You were the first person who cared and loved my Akka
You were the first person who bought all that my akka wanted next to my Dad
Finally, you're the FIRST AND EVER All TIME HERO

You'll always be with us Everyday
you'll love us, Everyday
you'll care for us, Everyday
you'll guide us, Everyday
you'll bless us.

What I've written here is very little about you… To me you are MY ROLE MODEL forever…

“Wherever we go, you will follow us”
Love, Subbu.

To my dear Anna Vellay,
The moment I hear your name I can only see your ever smiling face which lightens and illuminates the surrounding masses. Though we know each other only for the past two and half years the bond between us is for infinite life span.

It was that very fine day when we met each other in Chennai Airport for the very first time, we shook our hands with simple smile. Anna still I can’t forget that picture of yours with a smart smile. It was you Anna, who always called me as a SCIENTIST and presented me a book for the same…..which I really can’t forget throughout my lifetime.

“Person with pure heart has a wonderful Smile” hence you deserve that smile Anna. Anna it is really you who thought me indirectly, that, to improve ones smartness a simple smile is enough. You always lived as a person of high esteem, high dignity and integrity… the list is never ending. This led you to get the “Silver Star” award at Dell.

“Nothing is difficult for human; only thing difficult for human is being a human” -Swami Vivekananda
Anna I consider you to be a true human with all sorts of attributes and traits. I have always been thanking the All Mighty for being given me such a wonderful charismatic hero as my Anna. "It is easy to express ones hatred towards other, but it’s difficult to express ones LOVE towards other"... My situation is similar to this saying…These words I said could only convey my love towards you in a very meager proportion.


I can put it in this way, that, you are just playing a hide & seek game with us….where we're lost and we are unable to find you…but we know the truth that you are always with us only. But Anna, To me, you're always ETERNAL. To me, you are living inside my heart, speaking & smiling in your own way, but the only thing that has gone wrong is, you preferred to stay invisible to all of our eyes except to our soul.

Seeking your Good Wishes & Blessings,

Your ever loving brother - Ramu.

HEARTS DON HAVE TO STAND CLOSE TO JOIN HANDS......

This is Priscy(Alamu's Dear Friend), and I share a very special bonding with this Lovely Angel Vellai. He was and is the Prince Charming for my dearmost friend.

Alamu was a Princess and that was how the beloved one viewed and cared for her. I know for sure that I can never fit into his shoes and fill the space. But here's a letter to the Lovable person reassuring him that I will surely take care of his Princess.

Lovable Vellai,

A FRIEND LOVES AT ALL TIMES..... AND SO IS PRIS.

Both of us know that she has had enough of loss, tears, pity, sympathy, anger, depression and discouragement. Here Iam as simple as always to rekindle the fire of hope and the spirit of love which u always wanted her to possess.

I Promise to hug her on all her troubled days, as blanket against isolation.
I Promise to lend her an ear to unburden her tears and also to shut my mouth when I listen.
I Promise to search for humor that will be sweet to her soul and healing to her bones.
I Promise to share my time, my faith and courage.
I Promise to light a candle to help her in dark shadows.
I Promise to give her the gift of laughter, the laughter at the end of exhaustion.
I Promise a tearful prayer, silently to the father in heaven to ease her trembling heart.
I Promise to help her resurrect dreams, dreams to celebrate more than to mourn.

Some die without having lived. Others live though they have already died.

I believe you live in Alamu's heart and your loved ones. You are hoping the best for her, watching every step of her and wishing her the very best for life's battles.

God has taken you to a peaceful home and you are truly alive.

God gave Alamu his best in you.

May your soul rest in peace

With Prayers,
Priscy.

Hi, we recently bought a home and found a beautiful memorial bench with Vellay’s name on it. Please contact me. I’d like to return it to the rightful owner. It washed ashore a few years ago.
