On behalf of Manang Bedette (and family): There are no words of comfort that can adequately convey our sadness at the passing of our beloved Mario.

Si mng Mar what i remember most of him is his ever smiling face ready to punch on his line. Never a dull moment in his company. But aside from that he is truly thoughtful and caring person.

But aside from that he is truly thoughtful and caring person. We appreciate his finding time on his busy schedules in Manila to travel to ilagan for us when death in family happened. Also in joining us to celebrate Mama's 90th and calling to greet her on her birthday. We treasure this gestures we got from him and we mourn as his passing away is also our lost. We love you manong till we meet again. less

We just gather for the gift exchanges (manito/manito) - no food because for sure busog sa unending laughter, iiyak at sasakit ang tiyan sa kakatawa. After which we spend the rest of the holidays in Ilagan to gather the same cousins again. We moved on and get busy with life and families but these memories of less complicated life was the best we had and lived to cherish. less

A good father to my nieces; April, Phoebe and Lovely, a loving Lolo to Zach. He was once a father figure of my eldest son Yves. I want to remember him as a jolly person whom I often see in Eaton Centris during Sundays, buying food and having his walk. I owe him so much because I will not get the education I deserved from the Catholic University , UST, if not for him. Thank you so much for your help. Your early demise was a shock to all of us. But I promise you, I will help your family to the best I can. We will miss you! Always praying for you ! less

He possessed intelligence, integrity, sense of humor, kindness and generosity that was unparalleled. He will be missed fondly. Our love and prayers are with his beautiful daughters and grandchildren, close friends and family (especially Tita Julie, Mama and his wonderful brothers and sisters), during this difficult time. May your memories of Tito Mar, his laughter and appetite for life (and good food!) bring comfort, light and even resounding joy into the darkest moments. He is now resting peacefully and beaming with pride at his loving family. God bless you all, always. -Rose, Steve, Marina and Victoria De Luca less
