‘Loss, like love, never fades away into nothingness’ – Bangarpet Krishnaswamy, Mikaeel’s grandfather
A memorial service for Mikaeel Kular will be at Muirhouse Linear Park tomorrow, with a minute’s silence at 6.15pm. Members of the wee boy’s family will light a candle at the event.
Bangarpet Krishnaswamy, Mikaeel’s grandfather, said: “The last year has been a very difficult one for the family — an annus horribilis for all of us. The help and messages of comfort in our time of need was greatly appreciated then as it is now.
“We thank everyone for giving so freely their time in our time of need. I want to express on behalf of our family my most heartfelt gratitude to the entire North Edinburgh community for organising the memorial service to Mikaeel. Their tireless efforts and unconditional love have made a meaningful contribution to Mikaeel’s short life.”
