As we mourn her loss, Antonia, Emma and Simon Gauci share the sad news of the death of our beloved and devoted mother and grandmother, Marie, fondly known as Miss Marie for many years at St Joseph School, Sliema. Sharing our sadness and mourning are her brothers Joe and Jean and their wives, Karin and Nadya, together with Saviour, her husband, and Michael, her son-in-law. She also leaves to mourn her in-laws, Bertie and Elizabeth, Lydia and George Zammit, Marco and Marylu, Anna and Aldo Borg, Maria Borg Olivier, and nephews and nieces on both sides of the family. The funeral cortege leaves Mater Dei Hospital  tomorrow, Tuesday, July 27, at 8.45am for  St Aloysius College church, Birkirkara, where Mass praesente cadavere will be celebrated at 9.15am. Lord, grant her eternal rest. We would like to thank the Sisters of St Joseph and the Lay Associates for their prayer, and everyone who has supported us in various ways throughout her last weeks in hospital. Thanks also go to the consultant, doctors and the entire dynamic team at M6 Ward at Mater Dei Hospital. They gently cared for both her and us at this very difficult time.  We also thank the Sisters and staff at St Peter’s Home for their care and dedication while she lived with them.
