Daphne kienet persuna li fissret \u0127afna g\u0127al dawk li kienu jafuha mill-qrib.\u00a0 <\/span>Laqtuni t-testimonjanzi li taw diversi nies nhar il-\u0126add li g\u0127adda fil-Pink Magazine<\/i> ta-Sunday Times of Malta<\/i> u li nimma\u0121ina anke llum qeg\u0127din hawn isellmu l-memorja tag\u0127ha filwaqt li jitolbu g\u0127aliha.\u00a0 <\/span>Ippermettuli nikkummenta dawn il-versi bibli\u010bi billi nirreferi g\u0127all-esperjenza tag\u0127kom stess:<\/p>\n

Samira Jamil<\/i>: \u201cIn Daphne, I found a friend who was sensitive, accessible and intuitive.\u00a0 <\/span>She emphatised with me for not having family in Malta and was always there for me.\u00a0 <\/span>I believe that, at times, she too felt like a foreigner in her own land\u201d.<\/p>\n

Loredana Gatt<\/i>: \u201cNow I think the only way to honour Daphne is to keep her message going, her fight against corruption and her fight for democracy and justice.\u00a0 <\/span>Since Daphne was killed, I have become aware of this on a wider level and more appreciative even of Italian journalists who are fighting battles similar to Daphne\u2019s here in Italy\u201d.<\/p>\n

Simone Camilleri<\/i>: \u201cIt is\u00a0 <\/span>amazing to me that someone who was always so busy \u2013 with her writing, her magazine, her family, visiting her sons as they studied and worked overseas \u2013 could still find time to prioritise her friends when they needed her support.\u00a0 <\/span>She has made me realize that a true friend is one who will always be there for you, no questions asked\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Daphne definitely valued her sons most in life.\u00a0 <\/span>She was always very humble about her own achievements but she lit up when she spoke about her sons\u2019.\u00a0 <\/span>She was excited for all the opportunities they had in life and was proud of all they had achieved in their young lives\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer sons were grown-up and living overseas.\u00a0 <\/span>Why not retire her blog and focus on her family, her magazine?\u00a0 <\/span>Why not leave the country? In typical Daphne fashion, she shrugged off my concerns with a smile and told me that she felt compelled to write because she felt so strongly that Malta deserved better.\u00a0 <\/span>It was the first time I truly understood how selfless her sacrifices were\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cHowever, since Daphne\u2019s assassination, I vowed to become more vocal and to always speak up for the underdog, I think that is the best way to honour Daphne\u2019s memory\u201d.<\/p>\n

Megan Mallia<\/i>: \u201cDaphne saw beauty where there was none, as she lived with a desire to pull out the weeds in the world and plant flowers in their place.\u00a0 <\/span>She certainly did that in a literal sense too \u2013 her garden was unlike any I\u2019ve ever seen\u201d.\u00a0 <\/span>\u2026 \u201cIn a world that worships money and power, my aunt Daphne valued life, love and honesty \u2013 and a few good laughs over tea and cake in her living room would have made our day\u201d.<\/p>\n

Claire Borg<\/i>: \u201cI looked up to her, with total admiration.\u00a0 <\/span>And the fact that she believed in me and took me on board as a food stylist and photographer when I practically knew nothing says a lot about her\u201d. \u2026 \u201cDaphne lives in my heart.\u00a0 <\/span>That\u2019s how I honour her memory.\u00a0 <\/span>I think of her a great deal.\u00a0 <\/span>I honour her in my work.\u00a0 <\/span>My food photography is a tribute to her\u201d. \u2026 \u201cI think Daphne value most the truth, her family and her work, and one lesson I learned from her is never to be afraid.<\/p>\n
