STEPHEN TARPEY (former PS1417) 6.7.1967 - 31.7.2014.
We little knew that morning,
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go
alone, for part of us went with you,
the day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
your love is still our guide,
although we cannot see you, we know that you are always by our side.
Our family chain has broken, and nothing seems to be the same.
But when God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
Never forgotten by his wife Maureen and his son James, his sisters Elaine and Louise and her husband Stirling, his parents-in-law Francis and Josephine, his sisters-in-law Tania and her husband Stephen and Nikita and her fiancé Christopher, his niece Daniela and her husband Eric, relatives and friends
JOSEPH F. PACE of Naxxar, in loving memory, on the third anniversary of his demise. Fondly remembered by his children Paula, Mariella, Louis and David; their spouses and grandchildren; his sister, other relatives and friends. Lord, grant him eternal rest
