You fought hard to hold on and were so brave throughout your battle. Anytime you were asked how you were feeling, you were always so positive telling everyone who asked, you were great, even if you had just gotten out of the hospital or had a horrific chemo treatment! Not once did you let on of how much pain you truly were in because that's just the kind of person you were. I will miss your phone calls just to check on me and the family, I will miss your pleasant mannerisms,and your positive attitude but most of all I will miss your million dollar smile! I know you're in heaven with our brother Antonio which means I now have two more angels watching over me and my family. You will forever be in my heart and I will miss you dearly. They are so right when they say "only the good die young"...both you and Antonio were far too young to leave us! Watch over us and protect us all, may you both Rest In Peace!
Love, Julie

Mister Manny,
All those good times we had in the kitchen together were some of my most profound moments with you. Good jokes and bad jokes, good times and bad times, they were all weathered with a smile and a solid handshake. The lessons I learned from you regarding building a business and maintaining customer relationships are something that I will never forget.
I hope you now find the peace that had escaped you in these last few years and you can look down on us with a smile, knowing what you meant to us. My love to your wife and family, Mister Manny, you will never be forgotten.
"God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered “come to meâ€. With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best."
