Dear Mrs. Manak, Sue, Phil, Sandy and Kevin and families,

I was so very sorry to hear of this (I figured it out from messages on Sandy's Facebook). Can't believe I just sent a card to you last week... Mr. Manak was such a nice man, I enjoyed knowing him and also seeing him in recent years at Church.

My heart goes out to all of you - I know there are no words, but may prayers and thoughts of friends bring you some comfort and God bring you peace.

Love, Debbie (Clemmons) and family

Two of the best people I knew ....
