Mario has been in my dreams and thoughts lately, I didn't know why, so I tried to find him. I'm just finding out what happened. I will remember him forever. He was my first love at 13yrs old. And my best friend for years. I never forgot him and never will. This breaks my heart. I give my heart felt feelings to you his family. Nobody deserves to lose someone that young. And he didn't deserve to die that young.
My prayers are with you to be strong.
I know you will never get through this...you will just learn to deal with it. My heart goes out to you.
I will visit him.
As he visits me.
LEIGH

My condolences to the Poto family. I was a visitor at the ICU at Brigham and Women's Hospital during this time and met Lenora. While I was worried sick about my sister who was in the ICU, I sat one day and listened to her sad account of her son's condition. It was horrible and I was truly saddened. I prayed for him and for his dedicated parents who were with him throughout this whole ordeal.
May your son rest in peace.
