It’s been three months since the untimely and shocking death of Miriam Pace, 54, who died in her house after it collapsed in Hamrun near a building site. Since then, her family has been trying to bring her justice, and her daughter Ivana shares messages on Facebook to keep her memory alive.

“The country is returning back to “normal” but our normality ended 3 months ago,” Ivana Portelli shares in a post on Facebook, captioning a photo of her and her mum. “Let’s not forget that what happened that day wasn’t normal.”

Locals flooded the comments section with words of encouragement for Ivana and her family. While words cannot heal their pain, locals have offered to keep them and Miriam in their thoughts and prayers.
