The wife of the motorcyclist who died on the Xemxija bypass on Tuesday has shared a heartfelt goodbye message in which she promised to keep his memory alive for the young daughter he had “so many dreams and plans for”.
In a post shared on Facebook, Stef Coppola, the wife of 35-year-old Shaun Coppola, who died in the accident, wrote:
“I called you and you did not reply. I looked, but I couldn’t believe it. I have so much to tell you, but I’m speechless. I know you’re not coming back but I hope that they tell us they made a mistake," she posted on Facebook, alongside an image of the couple with their young daughter.
"I know it’s not a dream, but I feel it is…. I love you forever, I promise I will keep your memory alive for our darling, for who you had so many dreams and plans… [We] are forever proud of you.”
Shaun Coppola, from Qormi, died on impact on Tuesday afternoon after he lost control of his Suzuki motorcycle at around 12.30 pm.
