Condolence: My Dear Willard, Your life was long but not long enough for those who loved you.I don't care what age a person is but it's not time for the ones left behind to give you up. There's never enough time! But you had 70 wonderful years married to the love of your life. The last time I came to see you, Reba was sitting on your bed holding your hand, touching your hair and looking into your eyes. And all I could see was all those years of love. And that was the way your whole family and friends looked at you. The first time I met you with Kenny I could see in his eyes how much he looked up to you and thought the world of you. That was the way he thought of you all his life. And that big heart and kindness spilled over on me the more I got to know you and your family. Willard, you were so blessed. I just hope you knew how much! You left a deep loss on this earth. But--------I know they are having to hand out ear plugs in Heaven. I can just hear you and Kenny catching up on everything. And God knows how Kenny loved to talk!!!!! Even though we've lost you here on earth, it makes my heart a lot lighter knowing that the man Kenny loved so much is with him now. And knowing you are both in God's loving hands makes it that much lighter. But the pain of loss here on earth never goes away. I'll never forget your smile and laugh. And I loved hearing you tell me stories about Kenny. God's speed Willard. I will really miss you! And Reba and family, you are always in my thoughts and prayers. God bless all of you on your loss. Love and Prayers, Linda

Condolence: Dear Manes Family,
I was sorry to read of the loss of your dear family member. I was lucky to meet Willard and Reba a few times.
Sending warm thoughts your way.
Sincerely,
Susan Compton

Condolence: I only met Mr. Manes once, but knowing how he raised his son, Al, he was a good father and husband. A marriage of 70 years is quite an accomplishment! May God bless him in heaven above and give Reba strength to get through this difficult time. Prayers to the entire Manes family...
