MIFSUD NEE DESIRA, Maria “Mary”

Beloved wife and best friend of 46 years to Charlie, treasured mother to Morgan and Kathryn, respected mother-in-law to Adam, and cherished Nanna to Charlotte, Lucas and Brianna. Always on our minds, forever in our hearts. RIP.

Now reunited with her parents and sister, Doris, her parents in-law and brothers-in-law Joe and Colin. She passed away peacefully surrounded by her family.

Our thanks to her family and friends that visited her or phoned her from Malta in her last days. Thanks also to the caring nursing and medical staff on the Renal Ward, RAH.

My darling Mary, you left me far too soon and I am without my love and my best friend. You were the world to me and I will never forget you. No more pain, you fought the good fight for 3.5 years but it was not meant to be my darling. Love always Charlie.

Dear Mum, you were the best mother anyone could hope for. You encouraged and supported me in tough times, gave me good advice when needed and provided unconditional love. I will cherish all the memories you gave us and never forget you. Love Morgan.

Mum, my grief surpasses words but I take solace that you are no longer in pain or battling each day. You can finally rest in peace. I will cherish the time we had and regret the time with didn’t. Endlessly I thank you for the unconditional love, support and guidance, your words of wisdom will stay with me forever – Kathryn.
