On December 12, MICHAEL J. MALLIA, widower of Therese née Borda, aged 77, passed away peacefully, comforted by the rites of Holy Church.

He leaves to mourn his loss, his wife Denise, his sons Pierre and his wife Amanda, Stefano and his wife Faye, and his daughter Gabriella, his grandchildren Megan, Amy, Nina and Adam, his brother Edward and his wife Connie, his many other in-laws, nephews and nieces, other relatives and friends.

The funeral cortege leaves Mater Dei Hospital on Thursday, December 16, at 8.30am for the church of Santa Maria, Attard, where Mass praesente cadavere will be said at 9am, followed by private interment at Santa Maria Addolorata Cemetery.

No flowers by request, but donations to the Hospice Movement would be much appreciated.

Lord, grant him eternal rest
