You will live on for eternity in the hearts and minds of all those who still love you so dearly. “When Great Trees Fall” by Maya Angelou: And when great souls die, after a period peace blooms, slowly and always irregularly.

You gave us all you had to give, Gifts both big and small, But most of all you gave us love, The greatest gift of all. Mass for the repose of his soul will be said on Sunday, October 29 at 11.30am at the Divine Mercy Sanctuary, San Pawl tat-Tarġa. Lord, grant him eternal rest.
