Pier Giorgio has been an exemplary role model for me over the last few years. I've felt very close to him over the last few months as I've asked for his intercession to aid me in the daily struggles of life. Pier Giorgio has been that friend walking along side me as I feel his desire for me to join him in Heaven when my time on earth is over. Not only do I relate to many aspects of his life, his presence has been a comfort and aid to me.
