Many young people present to accompany the 24 year old on the last trip. Her latest gift was to help other people by donating fabrics
SEREN DEL GRAPPA. In a riot of flowers on the altar and a colorful multitude of young people between the aisles and the churchyard of Rasai, yesterday an enormous demonstration of affection was given to the family of Michele Pagnussat. A destroyed family that in sharing the pain of the tragic death of a son of just 24, who died following the traffic accident on Thursday on the Carpen road, “did not carry the cross alone”. In the heartfelt homily of Don Alessandro Coletti celebrated together with the parish priest Don Evaristo who had baptized Michele and who had instructed him in the tasks of altar boy when he was a child, there was no lack of reflection on the “why” of a death as premature as it was unjust.
“If we stop at this why, we go crazy. But there are two other words that comfort us in faith, those of “welcoming and entrusting”. Welcoming means being aware that Michele is physically no longer there, but father Sandro and mother Claudia must know that they have entrusted their child to God’s embrace ».
And addressed to his sister Natasha, to the relatives and to the many friends who crowded the church, the parish priest recalled the metaphor of the human condition similar to a clay vase. «Inside this vase there was a treasure that is now transformed into a gift for others who, from the loss of a loved one, can gain awareness of the value of life. It is as if Michele was encouraging other young people like him to cultivate dreams and carry out projects. Now he lives in Christ and cannot carry out other projects. But pass the baton to all of you so that each one comes out of here with a stronger will ».
And of projects, the young hairdresser who had trained at the professional school of Levico and had already put his talent to good use in some salons in the Belluno area, had one in particular, that of moving to South Korea with which he had fallen in love after a period of stay. He would have been there, having neither lacked the determination nor the courage to embark on a life journey on another continent.
