  2. "When yor are smiling
    ocurre que tu sonrisa es la sobreviviente
    la estela que en ti dejó el futuro

    When you are smiling
    the whole world

    smiles with you." MB.

  3. One message that I recieved in my cell phone was: "The world cry for you. May be the deeper message that he let us is that the oblivion is full of memory. Mario, you are inmortal! Rosencof".
    Rosencof is a great uruguayan writer too, and our Director of the Culture Department at the I.M.M.
