Dear patients,
Our beloved grandmother Merita (mother of Dr Suni Fernando) passed away on Wednesday afternoon. Whilst her death was expected it has still been very hard on us. We have had to cancel our appointments as neither of us have been in a state to consult. We apologize for the cancellation and all the inconvenience it would have caused you. Thank you for all the love and concern you have shown our family. We appreciate it so much.
The funeral details are below as a few of you have been asking.
Love
Dr Nidarshi and Nimeshi
