To the Entire Manning Family,

It is with a heavy heart that I offer my deepest sympathy in your recent loss. I know how difficult the past couple of years have been and saying goodbye is certainly no easier.

Remember me in quiet days
While raindrops whisper on your pane.
But in your memories have no grief,
Let just the joy we knew remain.

Remember me when evening stars
Look down on you with steadfast eyes.
Remember if once you wake
To catch a glimpse of red sunrise.

And when your thoughts do turn to me,
Know that I would not have you cry.
But live for me and laugh for me,
When you are happy, so am I.

Remember an old joke we shared;
Remember me when spring walks by.
Think once of me when you are glad
And while you live, I shall not die.

Please know that you will remain in our thoughts and prayers for many days to come.

To the Manning Family,

I was saddened to learn of Tom's passing. I wanted to offer my condolences in person but will be out of town the rest of the week.

Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I only hope you find some comfort in knowing that he is now at peace and in the company of so many other great people from St. Peter's that have gone before him.

May he rest in peace.
