I just read about it in the paper this afternoon and was wishing I had gotten the paper daily so I could have attended the funeral. Just wanting Mr. Manning and family to now that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.

This poem reminds us of the Love that Jim and LaVerne shared........................................
When tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not here to see.
If the sun should rise and find your eyes, filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you would not cry,
the way you did today.
While thinking of the many things,
we did not get to say.
I know how much you Love me,
as much as I Love You!
And each time you think of me, I know you will miss me too.
When tomorrow starts without me, don't think we are far apart.
For every time you think of me,
I'm right there in your heart.
