Our heart felt sympathy to the family on the passing of Arrel, may his soul rest in peace in the Land of the Living, in the arms of our Risen Saviour Jesus Christ who has gone before us to prepare a place for all those who believe in HIM. We prayed for Arrel but GOD our Creator, Redeemer, and Healer knows best. He seen that Arrel fought the good fight, run the good race and granted Arrel his Crown of Victory. May he now watch over us and help us all to fight the good fight and complete the race for GOD’S Kingdom in Jesus Name 🙏

Dear Evli maushi, Wilma, Marina/Zander & Alan/Meena, Arjun & Joshua Arrel was the center of your world and also of us. Though it is extremely painful to bid goodbye, he lived 53years, now leaving his legacy of "something to remember and cherish" . He is now liberated and in God's embrace. In the Holy Week a holy soul joins his heavenly abode - indeed a blessing! Rest in peace Arrel. Prayers for the family to bear this loss.

Arrel has lived his traumatic, painful life throughout the time from when my wife and I were getting ready for our Roce ceremony - as the news of Arrel's accident hit us like bold out of the blue. Thoughts and our prayers instantly travelled through to the Hospital where Benna Bappu, Evely Mousy, Alan, Wilma and Marina were bearing the unforeseen pain within. We had visited Arrel every time we visited Mangalore ... he had a wonderful and acute recognition for Suzan and I. He was so fond of his Biscuits - we could not visit without carrying. Hats off to a mother (Evely Mousi ) in particular for looking after Arrel. Her pain was immense. Alan, Wilma and Marina had been pouring love on Arrel. A great unity in most difficult times.... we witnessed it all for years. Today as Arrel had chosen to say goodbye to us all, we pray for his sould to rest in peace with the Lord. We pray for Mousy and the whole family to bear this loss. God bless. MAY ARREL'S SOUL REST IN PEACE. GOOD BYE DEAR ARREL.

Though I never had the privilege of knowing Arrel or his family personally, reading the many heartfelt tributes made it clear what a truly special child he was. Despite the tragedy he endured at such a young age, I gathered that Arrel’s life was never defined by his physical limitations. Instead, he radiated love, warmth, and joy—not only to his family, but also to neighbours and everyone whose lives he touched. It is deeply moving to see how this innocent soul became a reason for people to come together, show genuine affection, and celebrate the beauty of human kindness. There is so much we can all learn from the purity, courage, and love that Arrel shared so effortlessly. My heartfelt condolences go out to his mother Evelyn and the entire family during this painful time. May they find comfort in the love he gave, the lives he inspired, and the beautiful memories he leaves behind. Let us celebrate his precious life rather than only mourn his passing, for souls like Arrel’s continue to shine long after they are gone. Naveen Frank, Sharjah, UAE

Dear Aunty, Wilma, Marina & Allan, Please accept our heartfelt condolences. As your neighbour, I still remember the accident when Arrel was a child on his way to church, and the immense care and strength shown by Aunty, his grandmother, and all of you. Those memories truly reflect the love and resilience that always surrounded Arrel. May his soul rest in peace, and may God grant you strength and comfort in the days ahead. With deepest sympathy, Loy, Savita, Elroy & Elwin

Despite Arrel’s misfortune as a child, I am not going to dwell on that this time. Because, he never dwelt on it either. What, I noticed early on, despite his inability to comprehend simple things, he compensated for that by having the most colourful personality anyone could wish for. He enjoyed singing with Marina. His favourite songs were “Careless Whispers” & several Kannada classics like “Neera Bittu, Nelada Mele Dhoni Sagadu” & “Baadada Hoo”. He loved Anthakshari, Carrom & Cards. He loved spending evenings in the verandah to see the kids play cricket, football & 7 tiles. Despite the mosquitoes amongst the plants there. Best was his evening tea treats which Ravi who loved him dearly, brought for him. Goli Bhajia, Buns, Dosa which he walloped with gusto. I used to giggle when he used to try and ask us for extra delicious delights prepared by his Mum & Manjula. And, we would smile at his attempt to steal our share when he thought we were not looking. His mother stoic as ever, was his voice and was unwavering in helping him, despite her own frailties and did that lovingly and untiringly, at all odd hours for his entire time on earth. He was not afraid to find my konkani not up to scratch and he used to joke about my accent and my wrong usage. I loved it. Above all, I never heard him complain or cry even when he was very ill which was several times. Though his life was marked by suffering, it was also marked by love – love that he gave and love that he received from all. That love will remain with us forever. I will miss him calling me affectionately “Bhauji” and “Xandru”, his strength of character and the joy he brought to us over all these years, just by participating in every family gathering the best he could, will never be forgotten. This will be regaled and recollected and passed down from us to our children, Uncle Arrel will live on in their minds forever, an example of positivity for them too. Love You Always, Arrel.
