"Saying goodbye to the one I love, and getting used to not having by my side the reason of my life, your love full of affection, care and sense of humor will take time. I just wanted a few more moments exchanging glances. A few more days playing with our puppy, Cacau.

"I find myself longing for you saying 'Marcia, my love, good morning! Look how beautiful the sea is todayâ€¦' Despite knowing that it is an unavoidable destiny for all of us, for me coming to terms with the arrival of this moment feels like part of me is missing and a tightness in my chest.

"At the same time, there's a strong feeling of gratitude for being able to share my pain with the whole world. We received millions of messages of affection and solidarity that filled my heart with comfort and peace.”

"I want to thank each one of his fans who are still paying their homage. I also want to thank Santos Futebol Clube and Santos City for supporting us in such a difficult time. Sharing my life with Edson was a chance to live a true love story.

"Sharing Pele's love with you was as well. This love will never die and we will always be among us."

Pele, who happened to be the only player ever to have&nbsp;won three FIFA World Cups (1958, 1962 and 1970), was buried at a cemetery near the Vila Belmiro stadium after an emotional three-hour procession through town. Meanwhile, the burial was attended by his family members only.
