VASSALLO – JOSEPH, 20-12-11. Today the 31st anniversary of his passing on to eternal life.

When we are down, our souls so weary
When troubles come and our hearts burdened be
Then we sit still and wait in silence
Until we feel you like a breeze
You raised us up so we could stand on a mountain
You raised us up to walk stormy seas
And we get strong again cause that’s the way
You raised us up to be.
Please watch over us dad, always. Lina, Joe, Nathalie, Marthese, Marianne and their spouses.

VASSALLO – JOSEPH. To nannu Joe.

Not how did he die, but how did he live?
Not what did he gain, but what did he give?
Was he ever ready with word of good cheer,
To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?
Not what did the text in the newspaper say,
But how many were sorry when he passed away.
Love you nannu. Claire, Joanna, Kevin, Louise, Jackie, Laura, Joseph, Hannah, Tara, Francesca, Ben and great-grandchildren Xikira, Yannick, Allesia, Kane, Jake and Liam.
