In Memoriam
BONGIOVANNI – INEZ. A dear mother and grandmother lovingly remembered today and always by her daughters and their families. May she rest in peace.
BORG COSTANZI. In loving memory of Prof. EDWIN BORG COSTANZI who died three years ago on this day. We remember your courage when facing personal and public setbacks but most of all we remember your selfless love and support. Neither the University of Malta, nor each one of us that knew you well, could have been what we are today without everything you did for us. Sorely missed.
The soul’s dominion?
Each time we make a choice we pay
With courage to behold the restless day
And count it fair.
