Words can never express the love, friendship, thoughtfulness and concern that one family can provide to others. But I can truly say that this Manning Family has given all the above and has always went the extra step or mile to be a friend to all who would allow them to. All of you will be in my heart and prayers and I send all my love and comfort to each of you. May God Bless and Keep You and provide you with the strength to cope with this tragic and painful loss. We love you dearly - Punk Harold and Family
