I still miss picking up the phoneto call you and ask for a blessing before I go to sleep. God, I ask of you please to take care of my mama, papa' and my sister Nathalie. They were also my best friends.I miss them all so much with every passing day. My love for you all will never fade away. Mum, I can't repay the lessons that you taught me whenI was small, or repay you for your gifts. The daily treasures I recall I can't return: encouragement or loving words of praise in quite the way you did for methroughout all my childhood days. But there's one gift that I can give. It's all the love you've earned. For love is what you always taught and love is what I learned. One last wish, mum, dad and Nathalie.Mum, in my dreams you told me that you are all in Heaven,in the arms of my One and only love of life, Jesus. Intercede for me and my Monastery, that I may continue to dothe will of God - no matter what - until my end of time. Your ever faithful daughter Donna Maria Adeodata dei Marchesti Testaferrata de Noto OSB (Catherine) Abbess Mdina
