Sadness and joy together
Mrs. Eleni said that she was preparing to go on a pilgrimage to the church of Agios Georgios the Counselor on Thursday, when her phone rang and her doctor informed her that a donor had been found. But when he later learned that this was a young child, who in fact in a month would become a father, he cried. "I do not know if I feel happy or sad. Whenever I go to church I will light a candle for his soul. "He will definitely be in paradise," he said.
Ms Irene added that she wanted to meet this family who had found the courage and understood the human pain. He is grateful for them, he said.
Lenos's funeral was held on Saturday from the Church of Agios Georgios in Paralimni. He died of an aneurysm rupture in his brain while exercising.
