Our Sympathy and Prayers our with you.
Pablo & Irma and Vanessa and the children.
The loss of Mario; is like a radiant star disappearing
from the nighttime sky;
and words of sympathy seem so small
to encompass so great a loss....
Mario cast a brilliant light;
not only on you but also on all those
who were Lucky enough to know Mario.
And someone that special.
will never be forgotten.
Mario's Memory will always shine on.

My Husband tom played pool with Mario occasionally. It is a very sad loss for the pool league and he will be greatly missed. My prayers go out to his family and friends. He was always very friendly to us and a very happy man. I am truly sorry for your loss, Sincerely, Tom and Melissa Anderson
