Messages of Condolences:

Here are some messages of condolences that we have received from our readers (If you wish, you can send us your message at this address: seborgapress@gmail.com).

The Sunday New York Times
carried the sad news of the death of one of the great statesmen of this brief century,
Prince Giorgio of Seborga.
During his lengthy, elected tenure, Prince Giorgio set an example
of leadership that others should emulate.
He accepted no salary, he never invaded another country, never taxed his subjects,
and, according to the Times ”He took to the throne with panache, wearing sash,
sword and large rosette medallions as he held court at the Bianca Azurra bar.”
What other prince, prime minister, president, pope or potentate,
living or dead, has ever been described with such dignity.
Here in Spokane, Washington (sometimes referred to as Spokanistan
because of the rutted and pot-holed roads, falling into disrepair
thanks to our nation’s empire building in various Middle Eastern countries)
patrons of the Blue Spark bar will gather tonight
to drink Mimosas in fond memory of His Tremendousness.
The prince may be gone, but long live the principality.
Long Live Seborga!

To Authority of Principality Seborga.

With deep grief we have apprehended a sad message about death of
His Tremendousness Giorgio I, the Prince of the Principality of Seborga.
Death His Highness Prince Giorgio I is huge loss for Principality of Seborga,
citizens of the Principality Seborga, the European Monarchy,
but also to all people who known and respected His Tremendousness Giorgio I.
It pains us to have to say it. Has left the world the person
who has made many kind of chivalrous and illustrious deeds for the World of Nobles,
New Small State, New and Old Monarchy, The cause of Peace - it is his life-work.
He was the careful person, the close friend and true comrade,
the fine manager and the wise monarch.
The heart hotly loving the God, the citizens and people close to Him, has stopped.
Have stopped his heart, but undying bright light of its heart,
will always shine to us road to the future.
This light will remind us of His kind affairs for the blessing of people living on this planet. Nowadays its Soul stays before the God.
We shall pray, that Lord has accepted His Tremendousness Giorgio I under the wing
and has protected from all hardship. L
et memory of this remarkable person for ever remains in our hearts.
Amen.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time topluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a timeto build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Ma famille se joint à moi pour vous exprimer
toute notre peine à la nouvelle
de la disparition du Prince Gorgio 1er Carbone le 25 Novembre dernier...
Cette homme a consacré sa vie et ses finances

dans la maladie débilitante qui le terrassait depuis plus de deux ans...
Nous ne lui devons le respect et l'admiration.

et qu'elle ne tombe pas dans les mains de gens mal intentionnés....
