As the church bells chimed three o’clock yesterday afternoon, the nation mourned the loss of former First Lady Mary Fenech Adami who passed away six days after she was taken ill at a wedding reception.
Mrs Fenech Adami, 77, was hospitalised last Saturday after suffering a heart attack during the wedding reception of the Prime Minister’s son at Girgenti Palace.
Her condition deteriorated along the week and she died yesterday afternoon. Cherishing fond memories of Mrs Fenech Adami, her second eldest son and Nationalist MP, Beppe, said life must go on.
“We will take it in our stride. Life has to go on. Life is beautiful and we have to make the best out of it. The emptiness she left behind is big but what we received from her will definitely help us cope with this situation,” he said, adding that his father, former President Eddie Fenech Adami, was very serene, calming things down.
“Death is an integral part of life and he is strong enough to manage this situation and cope in the years to come,” he added.
“My mother had a public life but when I look back I see a mother who always put her family first irrespective of what came her way. I can never say that my mother was not there in any moment of my life.”
Ahmadiyya Expressed Deepest Condolences
Laiq Ahmed Atif, president Ahmadiyya Muslim Jamaat Malta, phoned Dr. Eddie Fenech Adami, President Emeritus of Malta, to express his condolences following the death of his wife, Mrs. Fenech Adami.
He also expressed his deepest condolences on behalf of the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Malta. And offered his support and help at this difficult time to His Excellency; and said we all are praying for her, may God bless her with His eternal heavens and may her soul rest in peace. Amen
During her time at hospital for treatment, Mr. Atif, regularly contacted Dr. Eddie Fenech Adami and His son Hon. Beppe Fenech Adami, Member of Parliament, and expressed sympathies and offered help and support.
