Manny and Nita.
My childhood neighbors and friends close as family. When I think of Manny, I'm filled with such wonderful memories. We all were so very
Blessed to have the closeness and fondness of our families to one another. We had some fun times on DeWolf Street that will always be remembered, nothing can take away those memories we have.
Nita my heart and love is with you as your husband, love, friend and companion has left this earth to be with The Lord . May God's peace be with you and His comforting arms hold you.
Love you much!

Family be comforted in knowing that dad is no longer suffering. He was the strongest man I know and he fought the best he could until the end. We will miss his earthly body but have individual, personal memories that will live on forever. I am the independent, hard working woman I am today because of this man! I am comforted in knowing how much he loved us all.
