GENOVA (ITALPRESS) – I am in progress in Genoa, in the church of Sant’Antonio in Boccadasse, the funeral of Emanuele Galeppini, victim of the massacre of Crans-Montana in the New Year’s Eve. A ceremony in private form, as asked by the family, but not without the institutions: among others the president of the Liguria Region Marco Bucci and the mayor of Genoa Silvia Salis. On the feretro white flowers, in the church also a pillow sent by the Club Golf and Tennis Rapallo, where Emanuele had grown sportingly and then embarked on an agonistic career. The archbishop of Genoa Marco Tasca is officiating.
“Let us ask that justice do its course, that truth emerges and that it is shed light on such painful events.” Thus the Archbishop of Genoa Marco Tasca in his homily. “Today we are here, frastornati, increduli, sturditi – Tasca said. The first thought is for Emanuele: I think of the interruption of the dreams of his life, of what he loved most, of his projects. I think of his parents, Edward and Beatrice. I think about the brother, relatives, friends. And then to all of us who are partakers of this disgrace, to this being distorted and unbelieving. Because this death affects everyone and pushes us to reflect and seek a sense of loss.” “When you suffer, you suffer a lot, sometimes you feel so lonely that you may have the feeling that God has left us alone. But it is a certainty that God is with you even in the moments when we feel more alone. It also gives us the name Emanuele, which means God is with us. Emanuele is with us and God is with us,” he added.
