Mi más sentido pésame para la señora esposa, hijos, nietos y familiares del Dr Mario McNally. Con mucha tristeza veo hoy, 28 de junio esta noticia. Dr McNally was a friend of my family in Managua. When I was little he would visit my family and we really enjoyed his friendship. I especially as a little girl was sad when our friend Mario McNally left Managua to New Orleans to study Medicine. I have kept his great friendship and admiration in my heart all my life. He was indeed a great person and I am grateful to have met him when he was young in Managua. My mother was Margarita Pereira v de Robelo and my five sisters and I really appreciate him. May Dr McNally rest in eternal glory. Lucía Robelo

Dr McNally was the finest doctor I have ever known. The service he provided his patients was impeccable. There are few doctors who had his talents and his ability to connect with patients. I was blessed to be one of them.

A longtime patient of Dr. McNally´s, I´m greatly saddened by his passing. He was my primary care physician and endocrinologist for his entire span with Internal Medical Specialists, and I considered him a trusted friend as well as trusted physician. We shared many laughs. Along with his sense of humor, I appreciated his caring and thorough concern for my health. A shock that he´s gone. I won´t forget him.
