I cugini di Adrano Tino, Melina, Benedetto Melo, Antonio insieme alle rispettive famiglie.

Benedetto,
Adesso corri sul campo stellato,
ti rotoli nella polvere di stelle
ti sfami di felicità, e ti addormenti
nelle braccia di Maria, la nostra Madre Santa e vegliato dal tuo Angelo Custode.

Il nostro pensiero è sempre con te
e, non ci abbandona mai.
Siamo sicuri che anche il tuo pensiero è con noi,
perché un pezzo del nostro cuore l'hai portato
con te nella tua eternità.
Ti salutiamo carissimo cugino Benedetto,
lasciaci piangere, perchè vogliamo riempire il vuoto che ci hai lasciato.
Con le nostre lacrime, ma anche con le preghiere speriamo che tutti coloro che ti conoscevano e ti volevano bene riescano a superare il dolore di questa grave perdita.
Amen

The Best! In my 84 years on this good earth, I've met thousands of accomplished people. I once shook the hand of JFK, Joe Biden, Mohamed Ali, and Rocky Marciano. I have personally known several Nobel Prize winners, great writers, musicians, religious people, doctors, teachers and artists. All, exceptional people. But, there's only one person whom I have known who was the very best at what he did. That man was my cousin Benny. The world's best cabinet-maker, now in heaven, where he is among the Best who have ever lived.
