«It is with a heart full of pain that our school mourns the passing of Maria Sonetto, our dearest student of IV AB. The void that our beloved student left in us and in her classmates is immense. There are no gestures or words that can make up for such a great loss, but we still want to remember her for what she was: a young woman full of life, with a smile that brightened even the grayest days.”
It is the memory of one of the two victims of the road accident in San Pietro a Maida made by the teachers of his class and by the entire school community of the «Rambaldi» technological center in Lamezia Terme. «A special light shone in her – continue teachers and classmates – that desire for freedom that led her to look at the world with curious eyes and to live every moment with intensity. She wasn’t perfect, as none of us are, but in her imperfection there was all the beauty of her humanity. She was a girl who knew how to make people laugh, who knew how to surprise, who knew how to be authentic, and this will remain in our hearts forever. We cannot imagine the pain of her family, but we want to tell them that she has left an indelible mark on our school and on each of us. We hope you find comfort in the memory of all the happy moments you shared with her. It is difficult to think that she is no longer here, but we want to believe that her soul continues to live in a serene place, where she can wander free and smiling as she was on earth.” “Continue to live, for her too – conclude the teachers and school community – because we are certain that this is what she would have wanted: to see you strong, united, capable of moving forward, keeping her memory in your heart as a guide”.
