Not sure what to say?

I have so many happy memories of Mario. He was so much fun to be around. He introduced me to my horse, Hatteras. He took me to Rillito Park and got me my groom's license. I ponied Moon Palace for him. We galloped horses in the riverbed at five in the morning in the summer. I will always remember his kindness, his sound advice, his open heart. He was an original. There will never be anyone like him! I know he is happy now to be reunited with Dorothea, and the rest of his family.

To all my cousins who just lost a beautiful Father, I send you my love and sorrow. When I was younger I always enjoyed visiting and getting to spend time with Tio Mario and his family. We are so sorry, may GOD be with you all.

Ana, we went to Business College together and I remember spending time with you and your family. I am very sorry for your loss.

Ana,
"To be absent in the body is to be in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ." Take comfort in knowing that your daddy is surrounded by God's glory now. The Lord will provide the strength to get through this rough time for you and your family. My prayers are with you.

TO MY COUSINS ESPECIALLY PETER PAUL AND BLANCA-CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT HEAVEN MUST BE LIKE WITH ALL THE FONTES BROTHERS THERE WITH THE LORD... GOOD TIMES ALL OVER AGAIN. MAY THE LORD BE WITH YOU GUYS
LOVE georgina

I have known his daughter Ana for many years and know that she will miss him very much.
