Ron, I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. As I look at the beautiful photo of her, your eyes remind me of hers. May she be gazing at the beauty and majesty of the Lord Jesus Christ and waiting for all her loved ones to join her. Big hugs to you all.

We were so sorry to learn of your mother and mother-in-law’s passing. Although we never met her, she must have been a wonderful woman to have raised such a great son. Her kindness will continue to shine through you, your thoughts and deeds. May she be forever with you. Rhonda & Jerry
Marc, Glennis, Ron and Mike,
Your mom was such a beautiful person. Her sincerity brought out the best in whoever she was with. She made me feel like part of the family and I have always thought the world of her. I’m so glad to have known her. Love and condolences to all of you.
Ron and Glinnis,
I am so sorry for your loss. Please except my deepest sympathy.
Dear Glennis and Mike:
M.E. and Gloria Mann were two of my all-time favorite clients and friends. They are back together again! Let the good times roll. You are in my thoughts.
Marc, Ron, Glennis, and Mike,
I am so sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. My thoughts and prayers are with Gloria and all of your family.
To the Mann Family”
She always told me she was too mean to die. I didn’t believe it. She was so kind and gentle, and my good friend. We played bridge together, laughed together, and talked sports together. I loved her and know she is sitting next to God and “M E” and probably giving them directions.
We all shall miss her.
Sorry to learn of your loss. Condolences and prayers for strength, for the bereaved.
Gregory Galloway (Ret USAF).
