Dear Ruthie and family, I am sorry to be responding to this as late as I am. I was out of town and didn't return until this last Friday.
I am sorry to hear about Manny's passing and hope he didn't suffer. I had X-rayd him here about 6 months ago and all though he was not feeling well he seemed in good spirits.
Love to all of you, cousin Vickie

Cousin Ruth and Family,
We are so sorry to hear this news,and as always happens wish we had kept in closer contact with family. From reading other entries Manny must have been in a fight with diabetes,I know how that takes over a life and the lives of the people around it. Please know that you are all in our prayers and even tho the years go by and we all drift away on our own paths, family is still rembered and loved.

The Almeida Family, I am so very sad to here of Mannys passing and I extend my deepest sympathys to all of you. I cared for Manny at the Goddard Rehab in Stoughton and allthough he was there for only a short time I grew very fond of him. I believe we all did. He had a kind and gentle heart and was a pleasure to care for. You are all so very fortunate to have had him in your lives. My prayers and thought are with you all.

To the family,
We at Quality Care Dialysis in Weymouth wish to extend our deepest sympathy for your loss. Manny always brightened our day when he was a patient here. He was a sweet, gentle soul but had a mischievous side that we loved. We are sure he will be sorely missed by everyone who knew him.
