Deeply loved and so sadly missed by her husband Sydney, her daughters Marthese and her husband Victor Cauchi, Elizabeth Anne and her husband John Pullicino, Angele and her husband Mark Scicluna, her grandchildren, relatives and friends. Today's 5.15 p.m. Mass at Balzan parish church will be offered for the repose of her soul. 11 years ago we had to part yet you still live forever in our hearts and thoughts. A prayer is solicited. Grant her, dear Lord, eternal rest.

BONNICI - PAUL (ex-Director, Paolo Bonnici Ltd).
Fifteen years ago we had to part
Yet you remain
Still in my heart.
The day we met, I can't forget,
The day God made you mine.
If love could have saved you
You'd never have died.
No one knows my loneliness,
No one sees my tears
Nor does this heart
Want them to know
It weeps while they're asleep.
If I had one lifetime wish,
A dream that could come true,
I'd pray to God
For yesterday and you.
Among the tears
And the heartache
One thing makes me glad . . .
You chose me to share with you
Those wonderful years.

May the Lord grant you eternal rest. Fondly remembered and sadly missed. Your wife Hilda.

BONNICI - PAUL. In loving memory of a much loved father on the 15th anniversary of his death.
Time may hide the sadness
Like a smile may hide the tears,
But memories hold you dear
Despite the passing years.

Deeply missed and remembered with love by your daughter Simone.

BONNICI - PAUL. In loving memory of our dear father on the 15th anniversary of his death.
In meadows of green grass
He lets me lie
To the waters of repose
He leads me;
There he revives my soul.

We miss you so much. Forever in our thoughts and prayers, your daughter Katherine, husband Pierre and grandchildren Roberta and Keith.

BONNICI - PAUL. Cherished and unforgettable memories of a dear father and grandfather, today being the 15th anniversary of his demise.
Time does not heal the heartache
Or stop a silent tear
Or take away the memories
Of a father I loved so dear.

Your daughter Dorothy, Joe and grandchildren Joseph and Rachel.

BONNICI - PAUL. Everlasting memories of a beloved father, today the 15th anniversary of his death.
Life still goes on for us,
But our hearts still ache.
No one will ever know
Our thoughts are always with you
And we miss you still,
For ever since you died
Fifteen years ago
Your place no one can fill.
Our love and prayers
Are all we can give,
These you shall have
As long as we live.

Never forgotten by your son Paul, his wife Joanna and grandson Paul Anthony.

BONNICI - PAUL. Treasured memories of a most beloved father and grandfather, today the 15th anniversary of his death.
You were a unique man,
One of a kind,
A precious jewel
So hard to find.
Your love and wisdom
Made us feel so secure,
Leaving in us a wound
That will never cure.
A helping hand
You always threw
Even at people you hardly knew.
A great man, a tower of strength
To whom us God has only lent.
Your generosity and kind heart,
Whose loss has torn
Our lives apart
Is something words
Cannot explain.
All tears are now in vain.

Remembered with much love, Ray, Carmen, Vanessa and Raymond Jr.
