In Memoriam

BUHAGIAR. Cherished and unfading memories of our dear INES, a beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother, on the ninth anniversary of her death. Deeply missed by her children, Maryanne and William, Carmen and Saviour, Vincent and Myriam, and her grandchildren. Lord, grant her eternal rest.

You can only have one mother
Patient kind and true,
No other friend in all the world
Will be the same to you.
When other friends forsake you
To mother you will return
For all her loving kindness
She asks nothing in return.
As we look upon her picture
Sweet memories we recall
Of a face so full of sunshine
And a smile for one and all.
Sweet Jesus, take this message
To our dear mother up above
Tell her how we miss her
And give her all our love.
