VELLA – ANNA, née Zammit. To our dear Anna on her first anniversary. So sadly missed by her husband Tony, her son Andrew and Nicola, and her daughter Nicole and Kenneth. Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails. Rest in peace, Anna.
