Brig G Natarajan has paid very apt and glowing tributes to Mrs. Jayakaran. I had the good fortune of being a student of Col Jayakaran during SODE. In later years we were posted as instructors at the same time at the MCTE. The Jayakarans became family friends. Ajit, Mrs. Jayakaran and the children jelled together.
We spent many happy times enjoying Mrs. Jayakaran’s hospitality. She was a very gracious hostess and brought cheer where ever she was. A very popular lady amongst the Signallers, who so ever came in contact with her felt so happy and at home.
Her passing away is a great loss for all who knew her and in particular for Col Jayakaran, the children and the extended family.
We pray for her soul to rest in peace and for the Family to be strong and bear this immense loss with fortitude.
