Dear Mario,
I have often wondered how my sweet Godmother Laura was and how you were doing. My mom and dad often thought of you and your mom also.
Recently mom and I decided to Google her name and I discovered her passing. I am so sorry Mario. I have beautiful memories of her and your dad. Such loving and kind people.
My dad passed on November 16, 2016. I´m sure he´s met up with his good friends Tony (Blim) and Laura in Heaven and they are having fun sharing great stories.
My mom (Dolores) is not doing well now. I can tell you are a very religious man . Please add her to your list of prayers as I now add your mom and dad.
Take care and know you were never forgotten. We always thought of you Mario and prayed all was well with your mom. My sweet Godmother Laura. Wish I could have seen her once more. Her hugs and kisses were the best. Her laugh filled my heart. My childhood memories are filled with her smile and love. May she Rest In Peace.
With love,
Christine (Tina Uzzolina) Laday

HONORING THE THIRD ANNIVERSARY OF MY BEAUTIFUL MOTHERS PASSING ON FEBRUARY 16, 2016 - REVISED AND UPDATED February 16, 2018
As I reflect on this traumatic event, the most impactful in my life, these thoughts which are with me in my twice daily prayers are more prevalent on the Anniversary day of my beautiful Mothers passing three (3) years ago.
The thoughts of today are within my soul, mind and heart is something I
need to share:
My Beautiful Mother, My Angel and My Gift from God. My guardian angel and gift from God, as you held my hand daily those last several years and we prayed together, sometimes with Andy, as we watched TV Mass and twice daily prayers in our home you in your hospital bed in the living room, me on a chair right next to you is a memory I cherish forever and miss so much.
You showed me what true faith and inner strength was daily those seven (7) years as many times with your smile you wiped away my tears, my deep inner pain as I fought to keep you free of pain, stable, healthy and battled through the many illnesses you encountered, which helped me understand the true meaning of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND COMMITMENT.
LOVE ETERNALLY, YOUR SON, MARIO.

REVISED AND UPDATED
To my beautiful Mother on this saddest second year anniversary day that haunts me daily. I awake each morning to start a new day with prayers to you, Daddy, God and all the Saints to first ask God to Bless you and Daddy forever with all the Saints, then ask to hear your prayers as you did here on earth, now in Heaven to guide me through this journey, providing all the needs for my success in life, honoring you, Daddy, God and all the Saints helping me to deal each day with my pain. But the pain of losing you never goes away, it could be something said to me, or a song on the radio or a movie or TV show we used to watch together that brings me right back to that faithful day and the night before questioning did I do everything or enough to prevent your loss?
Each day I go about my work with the photo of you/I on my computer desktop and on my office desk, a photo you of and Daddy. And as the hours pass I think of you repeatedly, living with the memory of your loss, hearing your voice, feeling the incredible love NO ONE could ever replace, provide or fill that missing part of my heart & soul. Then I realize I have no choice, or you are not here with me, I cannot take care of you as I did those last 7 years; so, my heart cries out in pain as internally I'm screaming to hold you, kiss you, tell you and show you how much I love you with every breath I take, missing so deeply to take care of you again; however God had a different plan.
What you've instilled in me with Daddy growing up is the true foundation of character of who I am today, however, the lessons I learned from you both, by example and moreover from taking care of you the last 7 years.
It was during these times, without you being able to say much or talk, sharing the look of love, the inner strength you exuded that taught me the most important lessons in life of love, compassion, self-sacrifice, that showed me how to fight to protect your life by learning medications, testing, research and the things I never had to do previously. It also brought us closer than ever to God, prayer and each other in an emotional and spiritual bond that keeps us as ONE together forever.
Someday I know you, Daddy and I will all be together, I'll get to see you again, spend eternity with you and share the joy of being protected by God's blessing, although I pray for you to come to me each day to share your peace and happiness in Heaven. Until that day, my memories of you are prevalent every minute in my heart, my soul, guides me through each day and the pain never subsides; but the joy of my daily prayers in the morning to awake coupled with the nighttime prayers before bed are the only things that keep me sane, focused throughout the day and at times allowing me to have a peaceful rest at night. Although, most nights the tears just flow, or nightmares come from that recurring reality of the last night leading to morning, waking 2 years ago this day to find you as I did is beyond any words I can express.
If it weren't for the love and support of our close friend, Andy being by my side that last day, calling my Wife, Thania who came in my time of deep need from the Dominican Republic telling me to wait for her as I was in shock asking God to take me with you, she was at the airport in NY traveling to be with us and assured me she would be here - and that, along with Andy's guidance to help take care of everything that last day, staying with me all night as well as his consistent promise through the years of blessing you all the time during rough periods that on the day of your passing he would be there for you and me it is a blessing I needed from God and one I honor each day as I'm eternally grateful for Andy and God sending him to us years ago.
It is also for the continual prayers, lighting of candles and the honor my brother, Bruno consistently has shared over the years and each day with the on-going support, love and close friendship he has given to me, my beautiful Mother that is such an important part of my foundation to survive each day without you. Of course, there are many others who pray for us Mom and support me that I admire and respect like Rick, Adrian and Josie.
Today as every holiday or occasion such as this, I send flowers to him as Andy takes them to the grave of you and Daddy, says prayers to bless you both and shares my love for me since I cannot be there physically.
The only thing I pray is that you hear my prayers for you, for Daddy and that God hears and answers my prayers to bless you and Daddy for ALL ETERNITY with every blessing, all the Angels and Saints as you continue to watch over me and ask God's blessing for my life.
I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU ETERNALLY MOMMY.
WITH DEEP SORROW IN MY HEART & SOUL,
YOUR SON,
MARIO

I think of Laura Domina often with warm thoughts of how loved she was by her son Mario. She had the most precious smile. Even though I didn't get to meet her in person, she became a part of my life and has become one of my memories. Laura is flying with the angels, praising God before the throne.

My Beautiful Mother. Yesterday, July 7th your birthday was a day of reflection, honor to you and prayer for you to forgive me for the many times I failed you.
Knowing in my soul, that now you with Daddy, God, the Blessed Holy Trinity to which I pray for forgiveness, guidance, pardon and peace, thankful for the blessings and gifts you, Daddy and our Lord provided all my life, as you continue each day.
You would have been 94 years old and the dream, goals and aspirations to get you to 100 years old did not materialize, Mommy. However, now with Daddy, God and the Blessed Holy Trinity, YOU ARE IMMORTAL, watching over and guiding me to success in my life to be what you, Daddy and God designed for my destiny.
Without you and Daddy here on earth, I never would have had any destiny to look to or build a life. I am the luckiest son in the world to have you and Daddy as my parents as each day/night in my daily prayers, I ask God to bless you both for all eternity until we are together forever one day.
GOD BLESS YOU MOMMY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND KNOW THAT I LOVE, WORSHIP, ADORE YOU FOR ALL ETERNITY, I WOULD HAVE GIVEN MY LIFE FOR YOU AND I STILL WOULD GIVE MY LIFE FOR YOU.
GOD BLESS YOU AND DADDY - PRAY FOR ME IN MY JOURNEY, I LOVE YOU ETERNALLY,
PROUDLY YOUR SON,
MARIO

To my beautiful Mother on this sad Mother's Day without you. I can only say Mommy that you live in my soul, my daily prayers, guide my every decision, now with Daddy, God, all the angels and saints that I pray continue to bless you both through all eternity as our Lord with all the intercessors hear and answer your prayers to fulfill my destiny that you prayer for with Daddy all my life.
The blessings I receive from God are coming from the prayers you and Daddy ask, oversee and send to me. And I'm truly so grateful for all God provides, yet the deep loneliness inside of my soul from your loss is something I live with daily and will until we are together again, you, Daddy and I.
As I continually pray for you and Daddy, please don't stop trying to reach me Mommy and ask God to continue to bless Thania and I with our family in every aspect of our professional and personal life journey as Husband/Wife.
Although I am truly sad, I still have to say HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY and thank you God for giving me the greatest Mother who taught me so much about life, love, commitment the past 7 years we spent together as I fought for her life. I am just sorry, Lord you didn't give me another 20 years to care for her and protect her.
On this day and every day for all eternity, please continue to bless, guide and protect my beautiful Mother and Father, hear and answer their prayers for me to guide me during each step of my journey.
GOD BLESS YOU ON THIS MOTHER'S DAY MOMMY.
I miss you, love you and adore you for all eternity.
Your son,
Mario

In our long friendship Mario, I though of mom as my mom. Her beautiful spirit filled the air whenever we mentioned her. Your relationship with your mom is one I shall never forget. You were the kindest, most thoughtful, caring, loving son. God richly Bless you and Thania and the family as you go through the day her departure to fly with the angels. Thank you Mom. You brought a lot of joy to me. Just hearing about you made my day. God is good his mercy endureth forever.

It was one year ago as I awoke next to my Mother's hospital bed at home where I slept for 6 years on a couch, I found her at 7:23 AM, never to awake again creating the most horrible and deepest loss in my life. And, coincidentally, July 23rd is my Wife, Thania's birthday.
Despite the 7 years of caring alone for my beautiful Mother, 6.5 of them bed-bound, getting her through an incredible 28 bouts of Pneumonia, numerous rehab stays, operations, therapies and various illnesses, it wasn't long enough for me and wish I had another 20 years to care for her, protect her and love, worship and adore her in the way I did and do.
Words could never say all that I want, and the only thing I can say is simple thoughts in a poem to convey this tragic anniversary day of remembrance, one we will heal at the special mass tonight we will attend, given for my Mother here in the Dominican Republic.
My Dear Beautiful Mother,
I feel your warmth around me and presence so near,
Although I have your pictures all around on my desktop, phone, office, wallet, I still close my eyes to visualize your face when you were here,
I endure the great times we spent together, especially the past 7 when we became very close and all that you taught me in life I was able to apply in order to fight for your life,
So, they are locked inside my heart and at times shared with my Wife,
For as long as I have these memories, we will never be apart,
Even though we cannot speak anymore my voice is always there,
Because every night before I sleep I beg your forgiveness in any of my failures to you that last week and fateful night before I found you; yet ALWAYS have you in my daily and nightly prayers.
GOD BLESS YOU MY BEAUTIFUL MOTHER WITH ALL THE ANGELS AND SAINTS FOR ALL ETERNITY. I MISS YOU BEYOND ANY WORDS.
For those who know me or knew my beautiful Mother, I ask your prayers for her on this anniversary.
(Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic)

God Bless you Mom. Today would have been your 93rd birthday and never anticipated last year this time that now you would not have been with me. So, as I do with Daddy on his birthday, your Wedding Anniversary and day of his passing, I now will do with you until we are together again in Heaven, it will be a day for me of fasting, prayer, honoring you as I do every minute of every day and trying to work through this pain of losing you. May God Bless you Mommy on this special day and with Daddy forever. There are no words to say how much I miss you. I love you eternally Mom.

Mario,
On this Mother's Day, my continued deepest condolences at the loss of your Mom.
I can still see her and hear her call my name when I came to visit her at the nursing home or at your house.
She is sadly missed by me.
My Mom and I will continue to light candles and say prayers for her soul.
I know first hand how much you loved and tried to help her. Your care for her was above and beyond what any doctor or nurse could do!
May you find peace and comfort in knowing that she knows how much you did for her and that she is looking down on you with love.

I came to know Laura from afar through my friendship with her devoted son, Mario. Over the years, I came to share in the many ups and downs as he cared for this lovely lady on a daily basis as I had done with my own dear mother and so a bond of understanding grew, a shared knowledge of how love and devotion can contribute to the life of someone we truly love, and there can be no doubt that Laura was loved as only a mother can be loved, by the son she bore and raised and who gave his all to make her later life as happy as possible and who lavished his care on her in thanks for all she'd done and for all she meant to him, her son. To inspire such love takes a special person and Laura Domina was just that, a special human being, a loved and respected member of her community and most of all a very special much loved mother, Mario's dear Mom. Love and prayers for Laura from across the Atlantic, in memory of the lady who I came to refer to simply as 'Mom' , from Brian and Juliet Porter, Doncaster, England.
