On April 11, a Spanish family of five tragically died in a helicopter crash in New York City, leading to a touching memorial service in Barcelona. Hundreds gathered to remember Agustín Escobar, Mercè Camprubí Montal, and their three children, sharing grief and joyful memories. Joan Camprubí, the father of the deceased woman, expressed the family's enduring love and commitment to remembering their joy. The family had been celebrating a birthday when the accident occurred. Attendees included local leaders, reflecting the community's support and collective mourning for the lost family.
"We have been in pain for the last 11 days, but they will always remain in our memories and remind us from up high to never lose our ability to smile," said Joan Camprubí. "The Pope believed in the transformative power of a 'smile and a sense of humor.'"
Despite the tragedy, relatives of the Barcelona family recalled the joy that their lost loved ones gave them and the family's love for life. A photo taken moments before the fateful flight showed Agustín Escobar flashing a thumbs-up while his wife and children beamed big smiles.
