Too soon and sadly we remember Freda for the beautiful person that she was to all, especially to her family. Perhaps God needed a shining star to look down on all of us and remind us how we should live our lives, devoted to family and friend to all.

Our condolences go out to Jamo, Daniel, Jeremiah and James; and to all of the extended Manning family. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

The Leahy Family.
