"You pursued your dreams in America as an MMA fighter, Guilherme Bomba, Brazilian champion, but we don't think that she would also take you on a journey of no return, without any of us around. We were waiting for you to come for Christmas that will no longer happen. Life is a breath and we wake up to this heartbreaking news. What times we are living in We are praying for you! May the God who is able receive you in His infinite mercy and comfort all of us who have always loved you unconditionally!" Vasconcelos Jr. concluded.
