In Memoriam

ARRIGO – ROBERT. In sweet and loving memory of a dear brother on the first anniversary of his meeting with the Risen Lord. Missing you more each passing day. Always in the thoughts and prayers of his sisters and in-laws. Lord, grant him eternal rest.

CAUCHI – Dr ALFRED CAUCHI, BSc., MD. Unfading and most loving memories of a beloved father and grandfather on the 34th anniversary of his demise. Memories never die away by time but also reveal more what you have been. May your vision for a solid link between the two islands be envisaged with our lawmakers’ plans to save Gozo from being greatly depopulated of its natives within the next decade and realise that a solid link is the only and last core solution for our dear island’s sustainability when all factual indicators from all angles are pointing to that direction. O Lord, grant him eternal peace. Victor, Maria, Emily and Ena (Tommy’s widow).

RUGGIER – ISABELLA. In memory of our devoted nanny. Always remembered with love and gratitude. Angela, Philip, Sandra and Steven.
