"I always praised you, because I always knew how great you were and not for nothing I always compared you to the sun.

"And now you leave the scene, without goodbyes on a sunny day as beautiful as you. But you needed to enchant bigger, more sunny places and I really hope you look after us from wherever you are," he continued. "Rest easy, my love, may the heavenly father welcome you and may your smile be the strongest mark in the memories of the people you were present with in life."
