Rest in Peace Santu. My Godfather and a dear, dear friend of our family. A man with an open heart and lots of laughs for us. A warm welcome, no matter how much time had gone by. He played the accordion and knew lots of Maltese folks songs from Mgar; soulful, painful and oddly happy, they echoed back to another time and place our heritage . You are in my thoughts dear Salvina, David, Frances, Charlie, George and your respective families and loved ones. May this sad but reflective time bring you peace as well. With my warmest regards and love. Martes and Evelyn.

I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to Sylvia & Stan's family. It is with great sadness that I will no longer have lengthy conversations with my dear friend. Stan & Sylvia have been my neighbours for many years He would keep me updated on what was new in his life & home. During his vacations & summer trips to the trailer, he trusted me to look after his & Sylvia's home. He will be sadly missed by all of us that had the pleasure to know him!
