Judy,
I am so sorry for your loss. I just learned about Mike's death last night. Of course, it triggered all the double dates we had during the high school years.
I remember your husband for his sense of humor and mostly for his love and adoration to you for all these years. What a beautiful statement of "love" you both exhibited to one another.
Fondly, Diana Welsh

To the Manning family,
My sister, brother, and I are so very sorry for your loss. Our dad, Gary Diercks, played golf with Mike and spoke of him often over the years. We just lost our dad on May 26th of this year and Mike had attended our dad's visitation just a few weeks ago.
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this difficult time. Keep your memories of him close to your heart and you will feel him there with you.
I can only imagine...

Pat and Anne, I am very sorry to hear about your loss. I recently lost my father and I know just how hard it is, my heart aches for you. I hope you find peace.
While he left you far too soon, he did not leave alone; For the Father sent His angels, to gently take him home. God bless. Amy (Cuddy) wood
