We honor today yet another resident who is turning 100 today. Mona Aquilina was born on June 9, 1920, at Valletta, the second of 5 siblings, one of whom is also residing here at Simblija Care Home. She met her future husband John Aquilina and were married in April 1945 and followed him to India soon afterwards where he was stationed in the Army. Back in Malta, they resided at Sliema, and raised their only son Bobby while mingling with friends and relatives.

John died in 1972 and Mona decided to remain single, even though she mingled with many friends, especially at dances which she loved to attend at the Union Club and other venues. She moved to Hilltop Gardens around 2 years ago, and she is still in very good shape, coming to church daily, and walking just with a simple cane and socializing with other residents, while waiting for relatives to visit her, including her 5 great-grandchildren, who cheer her up and make her look much younger than she is. Congratulations Mona!
