MRS. MARY HAYMAN – An Appreciation Mrs Mary Hayman, widow of the late Dr R.L.Hayman, legendary Sub Warden and Headmaster of S. Thomas’ College, Mount Lavinia and Gurutalawa, passed away peacefully in a private Nursing Home on Saturday the 17th November 2007. She was accorded a simple funeral at the Crematorium at Atwood Road Worcester, on Tuesday the the 27th November. In her life she recoiled from being the cause of any fuss and so it was that she ensured that it would be so as she left it. Writing of her funeral, old boy expatriates, Kamal Gammanpila together with Kamal Nilaweera wrote evocatively of the pervasive Gurutalawa ambience of that morning – of the overnight mist lifting to a thin crispy hue so familiar as one looked across the paddy fields from the Head-masters bungalow,as the hearse bearing her rolled its way gently through the wooded landscape reminiscent of the Farm’s wind break, and of the autumn leaves gentle fall; in nostalgic contrast to the rainbow hues of the summer flowers of Gurutalawa, as if to comply with her request, No flowers, Please!
