    Dear Aunty Juliet, Asha, Arunlal, Amor and Amber,

    Please accept our heartfelt sympathies on the sad demise of Uncle Sathu.

    While it was sad to hear of this news, memories of Uncle, his stories, jokes will remain live in our minds always, May his Soul Rest in Peace.

    Besides the many meetings with Uncle, we feel lucky and blessed to have met with him when we were in Mangalore last, guess two years ago.

    May the good Lord give you all the strength to bear with this loss as he grants eternal rest to his soul.

    In your sorrow.

    Dear Julietbai, Asha, Arunlal, Amor & Amber and all the extended family members – please accept our heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathies on passing away your dearest member of the family.

    I had visited my cousin Saturninebab (S S Prabhu) at “Ashirvad” in Bejai about 25 years ago and I sat down with him and we wrote most of the “Pakshikere Miranda Prabhu Genealogy” adding almost 1000 family members.

    He was a great man and we will miss him.

    MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE.

    Love,

    Cyril Miranda & family,

    S S Prabhu was a pioneering playwrite of Konkani, and one of the strong pillar along with other stalwarts like Late Shippa Mestri, who composed many wondeful songs for Prabhu's plays, late Edward Quadros, the great actor director, and few other singers and actors, who brought that famed name to Bejai Parish as 'Kalechem Kulaar'. With his affable character, he was always encouraging, and guided others to do well in whatever field they persued and was all praise when they did well or excelled. I will always cherish his encouraging words for me,when we started the Parish Newsletter 'Ijaicho Kalo' May Almighty God Rest his soul in eternal peace and give fortitude to his wife and children at this time of sorrow.
