“Sadness, pain and a broken heart. There are no words that can be accommodated or said in a situation as painful as this. Those of us who knew you know it very well, we also know how difficult life has been with you. Unfortunately, and despite the fact that many wanted to help you, you were no longer there… your mind and heart exclaimed, shouted and we did not finish realizing it. We only have what we have lived, your occurrences and your smiles. Today you left us dear Chango Priotti, today you said goodbye to us and there is no way to remedy it… Goodbye champion, surely the Beard will hug you and give you the affection and love you deserve. You’ve stopped suffering dear Chango, that’s it. Rest in peace,” they wrote.
