"The Lord shall be thine everlasting light and the days of thy mourning shall be ended." Isaiah 60:20
To the family of Mr. Patrick Manuel, we, the pastor, associate ministers, and the entire church family express to you our deepest sympathy in the passing of your loved one. Those we love must someday pass beyond our present sight. They
must leave us and the world we know without their radiant light. But we know that like a candle, their lovely light will shine, to brighten up another place, more perfect and more divine. And in the realm of heaven, where they shine so warm and bright, our loved ones live forevermore in God's eternal light. Keeping you close in thought and prayer at this difficult time, and trusting that the God of all comfort and hope will be the answer to your every present need.
Humbly submitted,
Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church Family

Pat was a good friend of my late husband, Lawrence Moody and often was a regular vistor at our home. He was the "Best Man" at our wedding in 1990 down at the Botanical Center during a blizzard. He enjoyed traveling about in his many nice looking cars, and his laughter was contagious. He was a very generous man to his close friends and family; he
will be greatly missed. His heart was kind.

Patrick shared a room with my Uncle at Prime Nursing. Didn't get a chance to know him for very long, but he was a kind, gentle man. So sorry for your loss.

Mr. Pat will greatly be missed...we had a lot of laughs on SE 3rd. You always gave me hard time when I came home for a visit that I needed my passport to come on the block. Gone but not forgotten.
