A friend from Sliema said her “stomach turned a couple of times today with heavy feelings” and she can’t imagine the pain of his girlfriend and his family in Venezuela. “You have gone too soon and too suddenly.”

Another friend said: “Manu, you had a dream to fly high, to be a successful singer. Alone, without family in Malta, you fought for a better life, you were friendly, caring, thoughtful, open smile, optimistic, believe in yourself, but always put God first.”
