Dear Kara and Family,

I am very sorry for the loss of your grandfather. I know how sad it is to lose a loved one and I remember talking about it when I noticed your Grandmother's rememberance on your refrigerator. I'm sure you have a lot of good memories and when you feel sad, remember those times. I apologize for the delay in writing, but I had sent a card in the mail and I did not address it correctly to your house.

With sincere sympathy,

Jim Powers

I worked with Mario back in the 1970's at Levine Chapel, Brookline. Truly a gentleman. It has been years since I've worked there, but I look back with a genuine fondness at those times where Mario was certainly a big part. Just new to funeral service at that time,Mario certainly helped me along the way. My condolences to Dana and Gary.

Dana,
I am sorry to hear about your dad.I remember him more from working in Brookline years ago.
He was a good Funeral Director and respected by everyone in funeral service.
