Side by side or miles apart, family and friends are always close to the heart. Thats what Mario has always been to this family, and always will remain. The beginning of this is always scary, but with your family and friends on your side you will get through this, Nancy and Johnathon we will always be here for you.

To Mario's entire family, especially Nancy: I am so sorry for your loss; may God heal your broken hearts and give you strength. I like to believe that when a loved one passes on, that they are never really that far from you and will watch over you from Heaven.
Nancy, I never really spoke much to you at Bradford, but I do remember you and I want you to know that Mario was very proud of you.

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

To my friend John and his mom, my family and I are so sad to read about your Dads passing.He was a great Dad . I remember the times we went to Foxwoods and the other casino with you and your parents and stayed in the camper. I had a great time friend. If ever you need to talk I will be here for you. Come to my house or I can pick you up. Remember he is guiding you from above , he is still with you. R.I.P. Mr. Baptista

A great man who had a heart full of love has lost his battle to survive. He is now resting in the arms of his dad.
Mario, you can't begin to imagin the hearts you filled and love that everyone felt for you. Myself and others can all relate to this message: You will be greatly missed and remembered as the man who put everyone first before your own. And for that we love you and miss you.
Love Always,
Lori Seguin and Family

To Marios family I offer my deepest sympathy. I only knew Mario very briefly from taking care of his father as a visiting nurse, but he was the kindest and caring of sons. My daughter worked with Mario at Toray and would often tell me that Mario would ask about me and say "Hello". Mario's Mom worshiped Mario and talked about him constantly. I can only say again how deeply sorry I am to the family and know that you and Mario will always be in my prayers.
Sincerely Debbie Sylvia
