Mario was a great person and he did not deserve to be killed in this tragic manner. I continue to pray that the murderers are brought to justice and no more blood is shed. I pray for his family and healing through this difficult time. He is truly missed and this senseless act of violence has ended a precious life too soon. If you know something, say something. Help bring justice for Mario and his family.
I miss my friend.
Love,
Rae XOXOXO
