Of Mom passing.She was an very independent,woman who lived her life to the fullest.she made the best pastizzi.Our sincere condolences to you and your family
I can’t help but think that when Aunt Vicky was met by all those who have gone before her that the first thing that would be said is, “What took you so long?” I’ve always been in awe at how she just kept on going with so much purpose in her life. A true inspiration for all of us and a perfect example to follow. Terri, Warren, Aaron and Angela, I’m so sorry for your loss but at the same time envious of all the time you’ve had to enjoy her company. Your Mom/Nana will never be gone as long as she’s remembered and any time you are lonely for her company all you’ll need to do is bring up a memory of her and she’ll be right there with you. Love you all.
She was always known to us a Cousin Vicki, even though Victoria was my father’s cousin. Fondly remember visiting Vicki and Terry as a child at their home on Priscilla Ave in the west end. Over the many years Victoria was a picture of independence and grace. Condolences to family. May she rest in peace.
Teresa and Family…Your Mother was loved by ALL at the Village Mosaic…She never came with out bringing us gifts plus our yearly Calendars..and her beautiful Smile..She had a marvelous memory for our Birthdays…Christmas and Easter cards…She was a treasure and will be in our Prayers for many days to come…Her 90 Birthday celebration out at the Race Track..will go down as the BEST…Love..Sisters Elaine and Margie

Great Aunt Vicki, your presence was always such a welcomed one. You will be missed. You were a truly inspirational woman.
I met Victoria at Village Mosaic and got to know her more when we spoke on the phone over the past couple of years. She was a feisty lady who so valued being independent. I always told her how much I admired her. My thoughts are with the family at this sad time but I am sure you have lots of wonderful memories to treasure. God Bless
Terri, Warren, Aaron and Angela we’re sorry for Mrs. Xuereb’s passing, she was a really nice Grandma figure, she made us feel like part of the family whenever we visited. You could tell she really cared about people. I always thought it was neat that she lived on her own all those years in the city, going here and there on the transit. I remember being impressed when I was younger. I also remember her hugs.
I’m glad she was with you guys when she passed, it must have been comforting to her. She’s at God’s side now and we’ll see her again one day ☺️.
Sorry that we can’t be there today but you all are in our prayers.
Lots of love.
On behalf of our mother, Lucy, we express our deepest condolences for your loss. We will always remember how lovely Vickie looked at her 90th birthday party. We enjoyed talking with her at the many Attard family gatherings over the years. May she rest in peace.
I met Victoria many years ago at the Village Mosaic.
It was always a pleasure to sit with her and talk. I admired her greatly for her independence. At age 90 she was still looking after her house, doing all the work of cleaning and gardening. Every year she would bring us the calendar published for seniors. She would bring large quantities in her bundle buggy on the TTC.
We shared many a good story and many laughs.
God bless
