The most Noble NATHALIE V. DEI MARCHESI TESTAFERRATA DE NOTO born to life 23rd December, 1960 born to eternity 4th November, 2020. NATHALIE, my eyes are filled with tears again; As I stand here where you lay; I think of you every second; But miss you every day. My body is full of sadness; That you are no longer here. Pain is only soothed; By the memories I hold so dear. My tired heart is broken; And it breaks a little more; Every time I hear your name. My dreams are of the future; When I no longer feel the pain; I’ll follow you up to Heaven; And together with mum and dad; We will all meet again. HAPPY BIRTHDAY IN HEAVEN. Your sister Badessa Donna Maria Adeodata Dei Marchesi Testaferrata de Noto OSB (Mdina).
