Aunt Linda and cousins - Mike, Laura, Bob and Stephanie,

Remember..."The reactions of grief are not like recipes, with given ingredients, and certain results. Each person mourns in a different way. Grief is universal. At the same time it is extremely personal. (Earl A. Grollman)
Remember...all the good memories that have accumulated through the years and let that comfort you today and always.

Love,

Brenda

Aunt Linda, Mike, Laura, Bob, and Steph... Can't tell you how saddened we were by Uncle Manny's passing. He was always a bit of an enigma -- serious and always calm, but what a great laugh when something touched his funny bone! Family reunions won't be the same without him. I think I may have been the only niece who had the distinction of calling him "Uncle" and "boss." He was a great mentor and I will always remember working for him with fondness and respect. Know that you are all in our thoughts and prayers...
Sandy and John
