It is with great sadness that the family announce the peaceful passing of their beloved VANESSA PORTELLI, née Ellul Sullivan, aged 55, comforted by the rites of Holy Church.

She will be forever missed by her husband Simon, her children Andrea and Timmy, her parents Edith, née Mangion and John, her mother-in-law Marguerite, née Axisa, her siblings and their spouses, in-laws, aunts, uncles, nephews, nieces, cousins and numerous friends.

The funeral cortège leaves St James Capua Hospital, Sliema, on Saturday, June 7, at 9am, for the Divine Mercy Sanctuary, San Pawl Tat-Tarġa, Naxxar, where Mass praesente cadavere will be offered for the repose of her soul at 9.30am, followed by interment at Santa Maria Addolorata Cemetery.

No flowers by request but donations to Hospice Malta will be appreciated.

Special thanks to the dedicated staff at St James Capua Hospital and her carers.

May the Lord grant her eternal rest.
