BEAR. “As the colors of our mural have been kept alive, so it will be for the memories painted with you, indelible”, this is the message that friends and the class of 1991 dedicated today, December 29, to Margherita Lotti, on the occasion of her funeral celebrated in Orsago.

The murals of “Meggi” will remain indelible. The colored one created in the lecture hall of the middle school, with the companions of the eighth grade, those at the Orsago railway station. The rainbow, the fictional characters, the bear symbol of the town: she was an artist since she was a teenager, and this afternoon hundreds of them said goodbye.

“To complete the mural of the great hall you were also allowed to skip hours – the classmates of 1991 recalled moved -. It took us weeks to complete that work of art that is still there, indelible. Many years have passed, we have grown and changed, but the memory of you will always remain etched in our hearts. Hi Meggi, we love you ».

Several memories of friends at the end of the funeral ceremony. «Marghe made us reflect on when it is important to remain faithful to oneself – the words of her friends Vanessa, Chiara, Giovanna, Sara -. Those we love and have lost are not where they were, but they are where we are, said St. Augustine. We feel your presence, albeit in your absence. You will live in our hearts ».

The thirty-year-old from Orsago died Thursday night in San Vendemiano. After having had a breakdown in her car (without petrol), an SUV, driven by a 53-year-old drunk, had fallen on her and made Margherita fall off an overpass.

«Marghe I will give you life in my thoughts, you will have light in my memories – said in tears one of the best friends -. You will be the protagonist of many tales and the heroine of many adventures, in my small way I will give you the light, and you will give it to me ». From the former schoolmates, the art school, the Academy of Fine Arts, the scouts, the Oficine studio where she worked and other former colleagues, from the municipal administration and many Orsagesi, it was a tribute to the young woman. And a gathering around the parents Alberta and Leonio and the sister Valentina. The funeral was concelebrated by the parish priests Don Mario Casagrande and Don Alessio Magoga. «” School is learning and rejoicing “says the mural in the middle school, Margherita was very committed – Don Alessio recalled -. His murals tell the passion for art. Margherita continues to live in God, in the colors and in the light of the large mural that is found in Paradise ».
