Caro zio,
Con te finisce l’eroica generazione dei migranti calabresi delle famiglie Bonanno/Mancuso in Canada. Ti sei fatto garante di tutta la famiglia,hai protetto tutti con il tuo ruvido ma genuino e sincero affetto, hai vegliato su figli e nipoti fino alla fine.
Ora riposa in pace ricongiunto alla compagna della tua vita e ai tuoi cari tutti.
Veglia dal cielo su tutti noi che siamo in questo mondo travagliato da guerre e pandemie.
Infine un pensiero a Giovanna e Lidia figlie esemplari per il rispetto dimostrato sempre nei tuoi confronti.
Buon viaggio.
