Pam & family – my sincere condolences. What a Godly, steadfast patriarch Manuel was. A genuine follower of Jesus. This quote captures Manuel’s ministry so well,

What a blessing Manuel was to everyone he knew. Lifting you up as you navigate this difficult season.
Thinking of you Pam. God bless you and your family with His comfort and peace during this difficult time. 🩷
Your dad was a great example of the love of Jesus. He prayed diligently for his family to have relationships with Jesus. I will always remember his bright smile, kind eyes, his perseverance and the great Christian example he was. So sorry for your pain.
Manny and my husband Marty used to enjoy playing a game of pool together, while Pam and I attended our Caregivers meeting down the hall, twice a month at the ADRC. Manny was such a sweet man, with a smile that could light up a room. He will be missed. Pam, I understand your pain, as I lost my dear Marty less than two months ago. My heart goes out to you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless and be with you.
I’m so sorry for your family loss. Manuel has been a wonderful friend and he was and is a father I didn’t have. It was so easy to talk with him about anything. The advice over the years I will never forget
Junior,
I am sad for your loss, but celebrate, with you, the life of your father who was clearly an inspiration to so many. God bless you, Chris and your family, my friend.
