I was hoping I would come here today and find I had a horrible nightmare but, sadly, it's a real nightmare.

The picture of Mario with the blueberries is the pic I always keep of him in my head. He will be so missed.

For some reason, I have a feeling the Rainbow Bridge is being turned upside down right about now. Mario, Sophie bunnie, Boots da kat, Bowser, Stewie, Leroy ... so many of our precious pets are there ; mercy me what a party must be going on over there!

Holidays won't be quite as festive here without Mario's decorating touch. No one can decorate a ceiling fan like Mario.
