I am sooo sorry to hear about Manuel´s passing! I just found out about it! I´m broken hearted. He and George went to school with my son Michael Oosterman. I have been trying to reach George with no luck. If anyone can, would you please pass my business email or my Facebook info to his brother George and have him contact me. My Facebook is Jan JC Hatch and my email is [email protected] Thank you so much! Again my deepest heartfelt condolences. Manuel was a real sweet guy.

Christmas to my Son, Manuel: I can see you dressed up as Santa, driving around in your nice car delivering gifts to your friends and especially the ones with kids! You gave your "all" in everything you did, and always went way beyond everyone else. I miss YOU each and every day, and I always talk about you as if you were right here. I wrote in the Dec. bulletin " If you love someone enough, you can still hear their laughter after they are gone", and it's sooo true. You were always the Dealer of the deck! Your SON, is a great guy, and he looks like his Mom, beautiful Monica. I love you always. MOM xo xo xo

We all miss you so very much and live with heavy pain every minute of every day. I love you always. MOM XOXO

October 6, 2005
It has been one very hard year!
Even though it seems like eternity since you have been gone, It seems like just yesterday you and I were enjoying dinner, talking about life, the future, and of course, "conversating" about people(remember, SHAKE the HATERS!), and how much fun we were going to have that night. I remember all those good times we had when ever I start to get sad, so I can laugh a bit. Thinking of you always puts a smile on my face.
Your presence has been so strong w/me lately, I MISS YOU!
I miss you and think about you every day. I have tried to be strong because I hear your voice in my head telling me "your strong, you'll be alright". You always told me I was a strong person.
I will never understand why every thing happened the way it did but am greatful for the time we had together.
Until we meet again, thinking of your smile and laughter will keep you close to me. You will always hold a special place in my heart forever!

Hello Manuel, this is your partner Tyrone, I would have written sooner, but never knew this oppurtunity existed to share thoughts and prayers on the internet, yep im behind the times. Mrs Alexander Manuel changed my life for the better, we were almost teenagers when I met him. Manuel used to come by my house in 1996 when he owner a store and he used to bring diapers milk and whatever else I needed for my kids. We use to sit down and talk about dreams of making it... I was contemplating on taking the Sacramento County Sheriff's exam, but was hesitant because I did not want my friends to think bad of me... Manuel told me that if they were truly my friends then why would they shun you for an oppurtunity to make something better of myself..he said alot more but its too much to put into words.. I later became a Sacramento County Sheriff and Manuel supported me all the way, now im a training officer in patrol getting ready to move on to be a detective. Manny you have been there for me and my family always and I love you for that.. Two days before you passed I met with you and Leon at Vientos for lunch and you offered me 25,000 because you knew i wanted to start an electric car business and limo service. I declined because I wanted everything to be in place and not just to take your money..I recieved a letter from you thanking me for being there for you as a friend, and I really should have been thanking you for your friendship and inspiration. Mrs Alexander, if there is anything I could ever do please dont hesitate to contact me..Tell lil Manny n Monte I said to call me anytime for any reason..Ps I only stumbled upon this website because I just lost another friend in the same fashion as Manny.. The people Manny touched in his dash of earthly life made many of us re think life as to we never know when its time for us to go...

Hello everyone...Manny, friends, and family. It has taken some time to come here and write but I needed to. Manny and I went to school together as long as I can remember--David Reese, Rutter, and then Valley High. We even attended some family events and as I look back at him, he represented such a classy good-hearted boy, and then a man. All of the Alexander "boys" are all great in there own way, knowing each of them through different channels of life, I am thankful to have met the whole family. We had great times, but something sticks out with Manny and I would love to share this with all of you. I hadn't saw Manny for a couple of years and then when he began on one of his business ventures right after losing his wife. We were sitting alone talking, and he wanted to ask me some questions about my health. I have survived Cancer 5 times only thru the Grace of God, and he wanted to ask me about the physical part of it. So, as we sit and talk quietly--him ever so attentive, and listening to the way I feel. At that point, I stopped talking about me and asked him if he was okay, or was he worried about being sick? He said he felt he was going to die, but he thought it was going to be Cancer and he wanted me to tell him what it felt like. After an hour or so, I let him in on a lil secret, the reason I was even around that day. I was occupying my time because my Cancer had came back and I needed a surgery-at that moment, my insurance was lapsed and the surgery was $90,000. This was a Sunday night and the next day, I had to call the Dr. and cancel the surgery because I didn't want to do it-I was going to let fate take over and live out the rest of my life happily. Manny offered me the money, he said "no man should have to lose his wife so early" (meaning my husband, Mike) I was stunned at the gesture, we have the money to have surgery but I opted out because I had been through so many and didn't want to continue fighting. I expressed my graciousness to Manny, but definately declined his generous offer. But, what person do you know that would hand you that kind of money to save your life? I don't many, and now ONE less. We might have lost a friend and loved one, but Heaven gained one classy Angel. I miss you Manuel, I wanna call you, Ricky and I talk about you all the time--he misses you so bad too, he's starting to get back on his feet. But, it hit him hard, like it did the rest of us, you deserved better than that--you are an awesome man/father. I am glad to be able to call you my friend, and once again, thanks for the beautiful offer and the day I get where you are...I am expecting a BIG MANNY HUG! God Bless you my sweet Angel.
