Both Giulio and Lina became very good friends with us when we met them in Ajijic. Lina, especially was very devoted to the children at the orphanage there and volunteered often. One day a little boy was choking on a piece of food and Lina noticed that he was in trouble.She immediately applied the heimlich manuever and saved his life. The event was important enough to make it in the local paper with Lina’s photo. We are so proud to be their friends.
I am deeply saddened by Lina’s death. She was an important role model in my life at a crucial time. I extend my deepest sympathy to all her family. I have been thinking of her and times together; particularly when she and Guilio visited the condo in Puerto Vallarta. It seems like yesterday….
Mario, I was deeply sadden to learn of the passing of your sister and I extend my deepest sympathies to you and your entire family. May she rest in peace.
Our deepest condolences. We will pray for the eternal repose of the soul of Lina Savio…
