To Maria, Moi and your parents: Manny came out to California and spent 8 days with me and my two sons.....They laughed uncontrolable when they heard the way he snored...Manny and I have been friends for 25 years plus as you all know and this isn't something any of us expected. Unfortunately I will not be able to make it back to Rhode Island because I started a new job with Lexus and we are short handed. I don't think I have to describe the shock and pain that I am feeling right now and I struggle to find the right words to say......So I will use the words that Jesus left for us.....Trust in me and I will be the light to guide your path...Just like when I lost my Dad a year and a half ago....it takes away your breath and it is impossible to get out of bed every morning without the hope of eternal life that God offers us.....I will pray for your comfort in this shocking and painful time of your life....God bless you all and I am so so sorry for your loss......Know that Manny made friends every where he went and I am sure my Dad, Danny Paquette and many others we have recently lossed are accepting him with open arms.............May he rest in peace.

 You werent just a karate instructor to me you were much more An inspiration to all that knew him To the one that showed us to never give up on the goals we were trying to reach until achieved The one who taught us to be fearless of the world outside the karate studio  I look back at time, all the memories we have had together throughout the years and I think how lucky I am to say that I knew you You may be gone but your memories will live on forever In his words keep your hands up and never let your guard down cause you never know what life is gunna throw at you Everyday when I live by those words that you once told me I know that your looking down at me smiling  All my sympathy goes out to all of his family and friends I am truely sorry for what happened and I understand what your are going throughÂ

I am very sorry for your great loss. Losing a loved one is so hard to endure. No one understands the pain, the unthinkable, unbearable journey one has to walk through until the valley of death throws one in that horrible path. Life will never be the same without our loved ones. Perhaps knowing that death is just a transition to another world, another life may ease the sorrow, the sadness and strengthen our hope that we will see our loved ones one day when God call us home one by one. We need that faith to keep our Angels's memories alive and vibrant in this world. It is very important to keep our Angels's memories alive. Love Never Dies!
Manny was a coach to my son Steve. My son was telling me how great Manny was as a human being, a friend, a coach. Manny does look familiar but I am not sure if I have ever met him. I lost my precious son Patrick on July 15, 2009 unexpectedly at the young age of 20. I understand your pain... it's a horrible feeling!!!I am a lost soul!!!
Prayers for Manny Neves:
Before we go our separate ways, let us take leave of Manny Neves. May our farewell ease our sadness and strengthen our hope. One day we shall joyfully greet him, when the love of Christ, which conquers all things, destroys even death itself. Amen.
Eternal rest grant unto Manny O lord and let the perpetual light shine upon Manny. Sacred Heart of Jesus have mercy on Manny. Immaculate Heart of Mary pray for Manny. Amen.
My gentle thoughts and prayers are with all the families and Manny Never. God Bless!
Manny may your light burn brightly and eternally in Heaven. Amen.
My deepest Sympathy,
