On 20 August in the Cathedral of the engineer Guido Fulchignoni Ravello many friends have paid tribute to the body of his wife Giovanna Coppola wanted to be buried in Ravello, the town from her time loved and source of his artistic inspiration. He presided over the celebration with the parish priest, Father Francis Capobianco who described the figure of the extinct with the noble words which is given here.
... When evening came, Christ said, "we pass to the other side!" Joan, your evening. .. The your step ... your port ever! Now listen to us, Jane, why - you say with S. Agostino - you're invisible, not absent, have left the earth, but not the life you have not lost, you may rest before us in the light of God Like Job, bent on who knows the pain of mystery and love, you have breathed for us the breath of the Cross, which is now for you eternal joy. The sky will continue to smile and fill in the silence of our hearts silent and painful. Stay
life lesson for your loved ones, all of us, they keep the memory of you, your full human and spiritual woman of strong and dignified, the perfect partner, mother's caring and generous, and we feel the call to that real world where you now are wrapped by the light of eternal bliss. Who resignation to God, to walk off the sun in the light of a lantern, Joan has traveled on its way to the uncreated light of a sun that has given us a unique and understated style human and artistic sensibility, a gift, she has made - we all know - especially in Ravello and Ravello Joan has seen the true identity that is perceived by the minds clean and sensitive, and entered with delicacy and respect the true size of this country ... Ravello and gave inspiration to Joan, urging her creativity, which has resulted in recovery of valuable creative and artistic work, you know better than me: I would like to recall a particular circumstance in which he could seize all the wealth sensitivity humility of the soul of John was able to admire an old picture in our library, St. Francis, representing the Descent from the Cross of the author of '600: was impressed, almost foreboding a plug that would pierce: P. Francis, I said almost timidly, I want to restore this framework, we see everything, he added, the divine and human love, compassion, mercy pain faith ... hope and framework, caressed by her expert hands, there is shining. Several times, human and artistic shared with Jane, and everyone always comes out on top, enveloping his suave smile, his attention, his sincere acquiescence and membership that bears the imprint or trace of beauty, goodness and generosa'la patient's collaboration and research with the dear Guido for the realization of the pretty drawings of the artifacts of the master Francesco Amato, kept on permanent display in the visiting the cloister St. Francis, the exhibition of his paintings in the cloister of St. Francis always, his heart full of joy for the wedding of Paola, I celebrated. Joan breathed the true identity of Ravello, capturing the thrills hidden, but vibrant, respectively, as few, with the heart and mind
the appearance of a sacred place, which leads to contemplation and prayer. We must be grateful to her, taught us how to be Ravello, like looking from this "unique" window that makes you look up, as guard and respect the roots, without which there can listen to and understand the silence of Ravello, or pick up his notes authentic. Now
family friends, along with Joan, we are in prayer that we pray with faith that permeates his life, his life on earth, the faith that made her keep your eyes fixed on Him for all that proclaimed: "I am the Resurrection and the Life "and Joan had realized that without that faith was totally poor and even poorer and miserable when the pride of human endeavors, but in vain, to obscure the uncreated light that comes from Christ. Pain regret Giovanna, who leaves us, but also peaceful awakened awareness in each of us of that 'longing for immortality that we hold within us irruptive and never acknowledged and only faith teaches that the Christian religious and realistic vision of life that gives us a new capacity given only able to read the play or accept to live the moment of death with serene maturity and awareness in order not to fall a dark screen between us and the Cross that saves. Jane, cross the threshold of time before us, he introduces you to the house of the Father, where is the fullness of the heart and mind. Think about it and pray for us that here on earth still lagging!
