In memoriam of PAWLU CAMILLERI who passed away to eternal life on July 6, 2009. In loving memory, on Father’s Day – Missing you Dad. This used to be a happy day, but now without you dad it’s just like any other day and easy to be sad… but I’m so glad that there exists a secret, special place, a place where I can go to hear your voice, and see your face… it’s somewhere where I know you’re safe and always smiling too and waiting there to cheer me every time I’m missing you.. for in this place the sun still shines, you’re happy and pain-free and still the special Dad who meant the world to me… you’ve been there every single day since we have been apart, and where is this special place, Dad? Why it’s right here in my heart! Your loving daughter Carmen. Lord, grant him eternal rest.
In loving memory of PAULINE M. BUTTIGIEG (February 15, 1940 – June 19, 2020). Don’t think of her as gone away. Her journey started three years ago. Life holds so many facets, this earth is only one. Just think of her as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing that we could know today how nothing but sadness can really pass away. And think of her as living in the hearts of those she touched. For nothing loved is ever lost and she was loved so much. Forever in my heart. - Joseph D. Buttigieg
