Dear Luciana and family,
We remeber Mario and you Luciana as missionaries in Romania, where we were able to first meet you. Our memory of Mario is of a kind, sweet, easygoing person. Our relationship with both of you in Bucarest was beautiful, agreeable and charming. We pray that his passing to the spirit world is in peace and full of love. We will pray for him and for you during this period of sadness. Love, Enrique and Marcia

Cara Luciana & Famiglia, quando penso a Mario e a quanto ha investito per la Tongil e la Famiglia italiana, mi sento profondamente grato per la Sua fede nei Veri Genitori e per il suo esempio di vera leadership..! Ancora mi ricordo la sua grande dedizione e duro lavoro nella Tongil dai primi difficili anni pionieristici in poi..verso un successo più sostanziale..! Lavorai dal 1977 all’80 con Mario e con altri ginsenisti e ancora nutro una profonda stima e grande affetto per questo meraviglioso esempio di vero fratello ! Con grandissimo affetto e enormi abbracci per tutta la Famiglia Ferrario..Heavenly Parents will surely meet you with a huge Embrace of True Love!
