As Miel stood before the mournful assembly gathered to bid farewell to Siegfried, her heart heavy with grief, she approached the podium to share her emotional words, paying tribute to the dear friend she had lost.

Miel: (voice trembling) "Goodbye, Siegfried. Today, as we gather to say our farewells, my heart aches with indescribable pain... You left me with the saddest goodbye---the goodbye unsaid... Siegfried was not just a friend; he was my light in my darkest hour, the one who stood with me when my world was crumbling, he was the one who brought Gio and me in each other's arms with him in the background supporting...he was the anchor of our adventures, the laughter in our moments, and the warmth in our memories."

A deep breath couldn't stifle the quiver in her voice as she continued to express the profound impact Siegfried had on her life.

Miel: "His departure leaves a void that words struggle to fill. We shared dreams, aspirations, and countless smiles. Siegfried had this incredible way of making ordinary moments extraordinary. Each adventure with him felt like a chapter in a storybook, full of joy, camaraderie, and an enduring friendship that knew no bounds."

She wiped away a tear, gathering her strength to share the essence of their connection.

Miel: "Siegfried was more than a friend; he was family. He held us together with his kindness, wisdom, and a heart that overflowed with love. He showed us the beauty of living in the present, cherishing every laugh, every shared meal, every sunset that painted the sky."

The room was filled with a somber silence, punctuated only by the soft sobs of those mourning the loss of their dear friend.

Miel: "His absence is a painful reminder that life is fragile, that goodbye can be unsaid and hearts can be left longing. As we mourn, let us also celebrate the incredible soul that was Siegfried. Let his memory be a beacon of light, guiding us through the darkness of grief. Though he may be gone from our sight, his spirit will forever be woven into the fabric of our lives."
