Both of us was on the brink of death , I had bypass surgery when I was only 48. Janie had her intestines removed ! Love pulled us through.
We would like to thank you for supporting Mario and Janie in this year's competition. Your participation allows us to aid both the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank and Oceana in their respective missions to support hunger relief and ocean conservation.
Janie was just 15 and I was 17. My friend and I was eating at Shoney's when she walked in with friends, She was wearing jeans and a green sweater, I had to meet her so I invited myself to sit with her table. She must have thought I was crazy. We dated for 5 years. Now Married for 40 years and two sons later, I know god put us both there that night in Shoney's!
What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?The night of our 25th Wedding Anniversary I went into Congestive heart failure. Janie and our youngest son rushed me to the heart hospital, I told them I love them and take care of each other. When arriving at the hospital I was told that I only had 5 minutes to live and my lungs had over a liter of fluid. I had a hole in my heart and a leaking valve. When Surgery was done and I opened my eyes there was Janie! And our favorite Memory was seeing each other and love conquers all!
What would you do with $20,000?We would help my mom out, and pay some bills and maybe take a little vacation.
