Men, women and children of all ages were among those killed in the blasts across the country, claimed by Islamic State, that targeted churches and hotels. Most of the victims were Sri Lankan, from all walks of life: a top chef, a teenage basketball player, an auto-rickshaw driver, a carpenter. They left behind treasured possessions those that loved them cannot bear to move, as well as the empty spaces where they lived, worked and played.
