God looked around his garden and saw an empty space. He then looked down upon His earth & saw your tired face. He knew the road was getting rocky & the hills were hard to climb, so He took you by the hand & whispered, "PEACE BE THINE". You know we hate to lose but you didn't go alone. For part of us went with you the day God called you home. I love you, Tio. Know I'll see you again, Mandy
Love,

We lost my uncle physically, but he will always be in our hearts and thoughts. He was a wonderful, successful man. Although we didn't often tell him we were very proud of him, I'm more than sure he knew so in his heart. He was a great dad to three beautiful babies and just like my other eight uncles, he was an AWESOME tio. He will be missed but I'm glad he is now resting in peace. God has a plan for everything and I thank him for blessing me with a privilege to enjoy Tio Mannys presence.

Ann,with all the unexpected emotions when you called I failed to realize that Manny left us on my birthday. What a wonderful present to know he is back to being the crazy, outgoing jokester with his friends and family he missed while he was sharing time with us.
Thank you for enabling Manny to pass with the dignity that exemplified his life.
I feel so inadequate being so far away but know my thoughts are with you until I can thank you in person.
