Carmella and Family;
You all have our deepest sympathy. Your grief goes beyond what words can express. There’s nothing anyone can say, and nothing we can do to heal your broken heart to take away the pain you are feeling.
Just let God take you into His arms and cover you with His love. God knows the depth of your grief and only God can give you peace.
God knows it will take time for your heart to heal, and your loved one Mario, has a place that no one else can fill. If there’s any comfort, let me say this to you, there are no tears in Heaven, no more heartache and no pain, only love and happiness for all eternity. We must go on living and do the best we can, then when Jesus calls you home you will be with your beloved husband, Mario.
We know that no words can really help to ease the pain you feel, just know that you are very close in our thoughts and prayers. Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies.
If you need help in any way or need to talk do not hesitate. We both are here for you.

Our deepest condolences to your family for the loss of Mario.
I have a lot of good memories of Mario, especially when I was a child.
He once spent the entire weekend at our farm helping my dad build a wagon/trailer to help us transport our harvested grapes.
He was always a good speaker and great to listen to.
He will be missed.

Please accept our condolances with the passing of Mario, it was sure a shock to hear that he had passed away, he was a good friend, always had a joke to tell on or off the golf course.
Mario will sure be missed at Mayfield golf club everyone knew him after 30+ years as a member.
Our prayers are with you all at this time, Ron and Joan Nelson.

I can not express the sorrow to lose such a wonderful Man.
He was always smiling and laughing, and was always a pleasure to see. He loved talking Golf with Peter.
So many memories of spending weekend in Grimsby at the Farm when we were little. Memories that will last a life time, sharing quality Family time with us all.
My mother will be heart broken when she returns to find her beautiful Mario gone! Our prayers and thoughts are with you all.
RIP Mario!! Say hello to my dad! xo

To the Valvano Family,
You have our most heartfelt condolences.
Losing a loved one is one of the worst parts of life.
Experience can teach us many things, but no amount of experience prepares you for a loss like this. I’m so glad that we were able to spend such a beautiful day together at the picnic. He was so happy.. I’m sure he has joined the rest of our family at God’s table enjoying Zia Bettina’s pizza and cookies…
Louie, Tina, Anthony, Matthew & Christopher Salandra
