Cynthia B. Mannering

Lowell, I am so sorry for your loss. I was one of the nurses who took care of Cynthia at Stanford. I took care of your lovely wife a lot during her hospitalization. I remember how brave and strong she was even during the most difficult times. When she was at her sickest she remained kind towards all who cared for her. I also remember her joy the day she was discharged from the Compromised Host Unit ("the CHU"). I have thought of you both often over the years. Today I was cleaning out...

Madame Mannering was my delightful and caring French Teacher at West Linn High School in West Linn, Oregon in the 1980s. She was always kind yet firm and held us to high standards which gave us a wonderful learning experience. I met some of my best friends in her class. She was patient and lovely and had the sweetest smile and cutest laugh and we all loved her. She just came to mind today and I looked her up on Facebook and couldn´t find her so I Googled her and found this. I am so sorry to...

Lowell, so sorry for the loss of your beautiful wife. I´m sure the hole in your life is huge. May the good memories rise to the top.

I am sorry Lowell. May your memories of happier times bring you comfort and peace.
