Hello Emilia: Thank you for sending me this information. I am learning more about Mario from his obituary than I knew from 8 months of his living here with Devin and I.
He was a very private man. I appreciate knowing about his family and a little bit of his background. He had two snapshot pictures of his high school portrait, and I saved one for us.

Mario was very quiet, but his absence is very loud. Whenever I see a thin man jogging with a sunhat on, I look twice to see if it's Mario.

Meanwhile, I am feeling very sad for you and your family. It is not easy being the survivor.

Keep me posted. Take time to look at the sky. Mario took pictures of it every night.
Jane
