5 days later he was found and brought home and burried by his partner, sisters and parents
and all his cousins from all round the world.
(letter was held in his shirt pocket from us)
Dear Mauro, Been a week today since you passed away. Been really hard for us but so happy they found you and you can come home.
I cannot imagine life without you, i was so lucky to have you in my life and so close to us.
I will never forget the fun we had as kids. The hours we spend playing Kings and Queens and building cubby houses. Your engernerring skills were far better than mine as you cubby still stands.
I want to thankyou for looking aftrer me in high school, i loved seeing you every day and the fun times we had the CBC and SMC friends.
Thanks for coming to my weddings, for piercing my belly button, for a life time of making me laugh till I wet myself.
Your too young to have left this world, you were always there, a protector for me and boys. PLease continue to watch over me. You will never be forgotten or not bring a smile to my face, even writting this letter reminds me of the gigglingi n class with the letters you wrote.
Im sorry i didnt come to your memorial.... but today we do our best to be with oyur famiuly members still here and grieve and rejoice in your life
I PROMISE to take care of Aunty Dorothy and Uncle Corry and keep as close eye on Nicole and Deanna. Being 2nd eldest I will do it with your humor and caring nature.
I dont want to stop writting. I dont want to loose myself in sorrow. So keep me smiling please, cause everything reminds me of you.
Take care and fly free with the people who loved you past and present.
Your COUSIN and BEST friend,
Kristin
