I get to think of you daily as I see our daughter. Youd be amazed at how she grew up, graduating high school and has that PR figure ;) She reminds me so much of you - in how she speaks and her personality. My pastor once said God gives us these little reminders to bring us joy and fond memories. And yet it constantly breaks my heart. 11 yrs youve missed and have been missed

Chilo,
I came across a picture of you a few weeks ago and I couldn't help but think about how much I miss you. I just took the family back to Indiana where I saw Angelina. It's hard to see her since she reminds me so much of you. I gave her a big hug for you as the love you had for her will always be reflected through all of us. I wish you were still here with us in body. Even though it's been so long since you left us, I still can't hold back my tears of sadness. I still keep you in my prayers every night and think of you often. The pain is still there but I know that someday, I'll be able to laugh with you again. I love you little brother.

Chilito,
Today brings back so much sadness. The only way to help us get through it, is remembering all the great memories you left behind. We often talk about the fun times. One memory always sticks in our minds is when you and Tito went to the Bulls game and scammed your way to the best seats in the house (the Michael Jordan days). It must have been because you dyed your hair green like Dennis Rodman. Tito often talks about that day with laughter and a tear in his eye. You were always ready for a good time and hanging out with you was always a adventure. You were always so special to our family and words cannot express how much we miss you, especially that beautiful laughter that was so contagious and your loving heart.
You left a big hole in our hearts and we will forever remember how caring you were to our family. Tito misses his little brother and the family will never be the same without you.
We will always remember you with a smile and a pain in our hearts.
Remember you with love,
Tito, Irma, Chris and Jake Delgadillo

2 weeks from today will be 1 year since you left us,since you left a hole is our hearts that will remain void forever till we see you in heaven. June 11th was hard, June 19th, even harder. That day 6 years ago, we became husband & wife. We had our ups and downs, but we made GREAT memories. Our wedding day was so special, especially with most of the family there. I couldn't have asked for a better, more special wedding. Then we went to the hotel after and ordered pizza & a movie!!! ;) We had so many fun, special times. London & I released balloons with special notes attatched for you not too long ago. We miss you SO, SO much!!! What we would give for just one more hug or kiss or even just to see you! London & I love you & miss you soooo much! Rest in peace & be with the angels my love. Kisses from me and London.

i didn't know what to say when i heard the news...i had not seen or talked to mario since we were probably teenagers but i do remember him and our days at holy trinity. just the other day i was going through a box of old photos and i found one of maybe 6th or 8th grade (not sure) and he was smiling big in the photo. it made me think of happy times we had at school when we were young.
my condolences to his family and close friends....i am sorry for your loss.

I can't believe it's been 15 years since I'd attend your practices and sit on the bleachers to cheer on #35. Now I sit on the sidelines cheering on #35 in the form of our little girl. I wish you could have seen her.

Tears on the outside,

Tears on the inside,

The Palacios and Rodriguez Family,
Oh my God! I just found out about your loss. How tragic. I am so sorry and extend my deepest sympathy to each and every one of you. We have not been in touch and I am sorry for that. Life has had its ups and downs for all of us, but that is no reason to not stay in touch. May you be comforted by the many, many guest book comments and the beautiful times you shared with Mario. Millie, when you feel up to it, please contact me. I would love to see you.

To the Palacios Family,
I would like to offer my deepest condolences to you and all who knew and loved him. I went to school with Mario at Harbor Catholic and became friends again at Central. I will always have good memories of him being the silly guy he always was. I pray for the children he left behind, as well as all of his family. May you find comfort in God at this time and always.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Plaza and family

Mario, you were an amazing person, even for the short time I knew you in class. Always a great motivator and someone who always pulled guys together. I wish I knew you more to know you were hurting, brother. It's a shame the world has to lose such a great person. To the Palacios family I want to send my deepest condolences, I'm truly sorry for your loss.

I have known Mario for so many yrs, I dnt even know where to begin. My fondest memory of him will always be the quince we stood up together in when we where in high school. He was the greatest dance partner I ever had. I can't help but to go back and look at the pictures of us together. We we such dorks. He had the greatest smile and best personality u could ever ask for. He will truly be missed and loved for ever.

To lose a child must be a most difficult experience. Reading his obituary touched my heart. It has been decades since we have spoke and so many of our mutual relatives have passed on. I hope your memories of his life will bring you, Millie, your mom and brothers comfort during this time. Your cousin, Mona

Mario,
You were always happy, and laughing when my sister Tiffini and I would see you out and about. You were always so kind to say hello, and ask how things were going in our lives.... I will always remember you, and what a wonderful person you were.

Palacios Family, I, like many people were touched by Mario's kindness and humor. I was fortunate enough to hold many conversations with him about our workouts and about the experiences of firefighting. We would motivate each other daily.I will miss him. I was so hoping to have the chance to work with him in the Fire Dept that I have been with for some 20 yrs. He made a difference in my life, God bless. He will always be in my prayers. Dave Cole

Thank you Chilito for always giving us your loving heart.
July 28, 2009
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

I want to thank the person who added the soccer picture. I wonder if he knew that my daughter - HIS daughter - played soccer and loves it. So much to talk about Mario...
"The weight of the things that remain unspoke, built up so much it crushes us everyday."
I truly love you, but you never heard me say it. If I could turn back time, I would say "yes." Oh the regret...but now all I can do is take care of our little girl... my mini-you.

For ever, for always, for love.

To Mario's Family:
Mario was one of the first people I met when I started going to Gold's Gym. We would talk and he would give me advice/ideas for my husband's gifts (he always picked something my husband loved :). When I heard what happened I was in shock and couldn't believe it. I am so sorry for you loss and hope you can find some peace. I will miss seeing Mario and hearing his laugh.

I asked the flower
Just how it feels
When a bee
Its honey steals
Her answer was
One and the same,
'Like Tucson's desert
Longing for rain'
And the orphaned star
Cried in the night
When it heard the Robin
Had lost its flight
Deep was their loss
Their hearts bereft. . .
As mine has been
Since the day you left
"Vaya Con Dios, Mario!"

My deepest sympathies to all of Mario's family and loved ones. While we hadn't spoken in almost two decades I was one year behind Mario in Holy Trinity. I have 7 years worth of fond memories of him when we were kids. May you find the light through this dark moment.

To the Palacios Family,
I too am at a loss for words...I heard of Mario's passing and was in disbelief and deeply saddened. Even though I only knew him for a few months throughout our fire academy, he became a great friend and somone I could look up to. He had such a bright outlook on life, I will miss him dearly. May God Bless you and all his family.

Mario,
I remember going to Holy Trinity in East Chicago, In. You were in my brother Johns class. The one thing I remember was you were always smiling and full of joy. I will be praying for you family and friends left behind.
May God keep them in His loving arms and comfort them and I know one day we'll all be reunited in Heaven with our Creator.

When Mario lived with the Lopez’s in Marengo, I was one of his neighbors. Being old enough to be his father, it was probably unlikely that we would become friends, but we did. He was such a nice young man. Always respectful. And whenever I needed help with a job around the house and yard, he was always more than willing to pitch in and give me a hand.
To his family, please accept my heartfelt condolences for your loss. Mario will be sincerely missed - even by people you’ve never met, like me.

“What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.”
Please accept our heartfelt sympathy in the loss of your son and may the love of those around you help you through the days ahead.
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

May you rest in peace..
