Full message:

“You were a person with a huge and pure heart, surreal energy and positivity that made the people around you so much happier. If at times you were excessive, it was not a bad thing at all, but because you did not know how to live otherwise. If you discussed topics, you always did it with all possible resources and understanding of all sides. Well, with your Brazilian blood, no one would even stand next to you to talk. Family group? Come on, these 30 lines of text. If it was a trip with your husband on a motorcycle to infinity, it would be to get another PhD or master’s degree. Always ready to learn and grow. Always with the intention of being successful, but with the humility that the journey was the most important.

You and Nelvio were an example of love, participation, adventure and camaraderie. Where one went, the other followed. But also with the confidence that we could travel halfway around the world without each other and everything would be fine. You raised three wonderful children who will surely follow in your legacy. Because if there was anyone they could be proud of, it would be you.

To my husband: Since the day I met you, I always respected you for your honesty and good people. And the way you treated Marina. And again, the good energy you gave. Everyone loved you very much.

You were on your way to a concert, just the two of you, and for some reason your plane crashed.

I am far from understanding anything, or even finding the peace I need. It comforts me that you were together, but it breaks my heart to know that you are leaving behind the three people you loved most in this world. But I tell you, your children will never want for anything, you can be sure of that. The family you cared so much about will take what they learned from you and move on.

“I ask you, Marina, to look after them and the family that loves you so much. Kiss your grandmother and rest in peace… from your boy!”
