Dear Fr Edwin Galea

By attending the wake and the funeral mass this morning, particularly listening to your homily I learned a lot about your Dad Paul. What a good legacy and example of Christian life. May the Good Lord give his soul repose and eternal light shine upon him.

Remembering my dear friend Paul Galea

For so many years I've known you
Time slipped away so fast
We should have kept in touch somehow
To talk or relive the past.

Our past was Canada Custums
Our work of Yesteryear
Many happy hours were spent at P.I.A.
With coleagues who seemed to care.

And now you've gone to another place
I hope God grants you rest
For in my heart and soul, I know
Paul, God made you among his best.
