He came into our lives as a great joy and became for us a real gift from God. We were lucky to see how he grows, matures, dreams, persistently goes to his goal and achieves it, becoming a famous football player. We rejoiced in his success, his strength, his talent. He left behind the most precious inheritance - four beautiful children, our grandchildren. And even today, when the pain seems unbearable, we thank God for every day that was given to us with him.
