Dear Manning Family,

I am so very sorry to learn of the loss of your Mother, Grandmother, Sister and all Mrs. Manning was to everyone. She was a kind and lovely person who when I had the opportunity to see her when visiting my own Mom (Marcia Ross) on the Cape over the years always had a smile on her face. It was a pleasure knowing both Mr. & Mrs. Manning and she will be sorely missed by all. I send and share my deepest sympathies, condolences, and prayers with everyone, as I too just lost my Mom recently. May God Bless all of you.....
