" I am Tani and I will be forever! I love you forever, my sweetheart, " his wife wrote in an emotional post on Facebook.

Even his mother, shocked by the loss, remembered the last conversation with her son: "I was hopeful because he promised me he would come back. 'I don't mind tomorrow (when he was going to have surgery), I'm fine, I'm calm, but I'm focusing on the Museum.' Even when I woke him up from sleep, he would talk about the Museum ," she confessed.

Artan Lame's coffin has left Germany today and will arrive in Albania by land. The family is expected to make public the procedures for paying homage and escorting him to his final resting place.

A publicist, opinion leader and passionate collector, Lame will be remembered for his special contribution to the public and cultural life of the country.
