Dear Portanova Family, Our most sincere and deepest condolences go out to you in this time of sorrow. Words cannot express how saddened we were when we received the news. Mario was genuinely a great person. I had the pleasure of meeting him when Pina and I were in high school. He always worried about us when we went out on the weekends, he wanted to make sure we were always safe. He always worried and cared about everyone. Steve always looked forward to seeing him on Sunday mornings at the farmers market. It's difficult to accept that he is no longer here with us. He is in a better place looking down upon all of us and he is no longer suffering and in pain. May he rest in peace. Love, Steve, Anna, Giada & Bianca
