Mrs. Manina, Bill, Cheryl and family. We were sad to hear of Mr. Manina's passing, I remember him well when I was young and then as we got older, we used to Mall Walk with him and Mrs. Manina. That was when we got to know him the best. This is a very hard time for all of you but before you know it you will be remembering all the good things in his life and yours. Please know that you are all with us in our thoughts and prayers.
