MICALLEF. We would like to mark the 17 years since JM, affectionately known by all as Miki, left this life, by celebrating his bequest, joie de vivre. He loved laughter and humour, poetry and music, culture in all its forms, and the natural world, particularly the sea. His sailing boats, the Maias, were his muses. Above all, he loved us all and in these sad times, there is comfort in this and in the belief that that he is still somewhere watching over us making sure we are alright. He will always be missed by his wife Emma, his daughters Annamaria and Lucia and their husbands Edward Briffa and Jeremy Hunt, his grandchildren Martina and husband Michael Pace, Hauke Eggert, Emma and husband Daniel Calascione, William and John Parnis England and Simon Briffa. And of course, the great-grandchildren he never got to meet, who are yet being introduced to the anthology of anecdotes that coloured his life and ours, Nico and Leila Pace and Jack and Finn Calascione.
VELLA – ISAAC. In loving memory of our dear father on the 27th anniversary of his passing away. Always in our thoughts and prayers. Edith and Louis, Cecilia and Vincent and grandchildren.
