Ladies and gentlemen,
Today, as we gather here to bid our final farewell to a remarkable soul, Matteo, we find ourselves immersed in bittersweet memories of a life that brought us immeasurable joy and deep sorrow. In the midst of our grief, let us celebrate the extraordinary man who touched our lives with his humility, inspiration, and above all, eternal love.
Matteo, a name that rolls off our tongues with reverence, was more than a father; he was a guiding light, a rock, and the embodiment of unwavering love. As his only daughter, I was fortunate enough to witness firsthand the endless devotion he poured into every facet of our lives. A man of profound humility, he never sought recognition or praise for his numerous acts of kindness. He simply believed in spreading love and joy, illuminating every path that crossed his own.
I remember, vividly, a time when I was just a tender five-year-old girl, crying with a scraped knee on a lonely playground. In that moment, my father, like a guardian angel, scooped me up and tenderly kissed away my pain. He cradled me in his arms as he carried me back to the car, whispering words of comfort and reassurance. Through the generosity of his love, he taught me that a kiss, a gentle touch, and his unwavering presence had the power to heal not just physical wounds, but also the invisible scars that life bestowed upon us.

The bond we shared, cemented by countless moments of tenderness and affection, shall forever remain etched in the deepest corners of my heart. His love was enduring, steadfast, and timeless—like the verses of the poem, "Eternal Love" by Alan Owen, that now resonate profoundly within us:
"Love is a promise made,
Born of hearts entwined.
It transcends the boundaries,
Of space and endless time."
These words encompass the essence of Matteo's love—a love that knew no bounds and persistently transcended any limitations life laid upon him. In times of joy, his laughter filled our souls with an indescribable warmth. In times of sorrow, he became our pillar of strength, offering solace with a tender embrace or a simple, heartfelt word. Matteo's light shone brightly, illuminating each of our lives and reminding us of the profound impact a single soul can have on the world.

May his humility inspire us, his love nurture us, and his boundless compassion guide us as we face the uncertain roads ahead. Though his physical presence may have departed from our lives, his spirit remains, forever etched in the tapestry of our collective memories.
Matteo, beloved father, you were the embodiment of love, warmth, and unwavering dedication. We shall forever cherish the moments we shared, holding them close in the depths of our souls. So, as we say goodbye, may each tear shed be a testament of the profound impact you left upon our lives—a testament to a life well-lived.
In the immortal words of Alan Owen:
"In the cycle of creation,
Of this eternal plan,
There shines a light unbroken,
Through the love of every man."
Farewell, dear Matteo. Your forever humble and inspirational spirit will forever guide us through our journey of life.
