elevated x2F82 Obituary

elevated x2F82 We are saddened by the passing of Mariano shortly after his 86th birthday, with his daughters by his side, at Baycrest Hospital. Mariano was born in Italy on August 29, 1934 to parents Sante and Giovanna, and was peacefully called by God on October 14th. 

elevated x2F82 Mariano will be forever in our hearts.  He will be sadly missed by his loving children, Rossana (Salvatore), Sandra, Patrizia, by his grandchildren, Brandon (Cherie), Melissa (Silvio), Justin, Carissa, Ethan, Nicholas, Cole, by his great-grandchildren Siena, Giuliana, Alessandro and by his sister (Elisa), brother (Renzo) and extended relatives and family.

elevated x2F82 Mariano had a great passion for the outdoors, fishing, snowmobiling, gardening and of course playing briscola, scopa and other Italian card games with his friends and family. He will be fondly remembered by those who knew him. God bless our father, Mariano who is now reunited in Heaven with his father, mother, wife (Argentina) and brothers (Franco, Pietro).

When tomorrow starts
without me please try to
understand
that an angel came and
called my name 
and took me by the hand;

elevated x2F82 The angel said my place
was ready
In Heaven far above 
and that I’d have to leave
behind
all those I dearly love

elevated x2F82 But when I walked
through Heaven’s Gates
I felt so much at home
When God looked down
smiled at me and told me
“Welcome Home.”
