Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

My sincere condolences to your family during this time. I will be praying for your strength. I loved Mrs. Manning. I am thankful to have been able to spend time with her in the salon.

"I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." ... The Lord, the Lord, is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation." To Jackie and the Manning family, take comfort in these words during this, your time of sorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Regina Goff

Brother William Manning, death relieves our loved ones of their suffering, but it puts us in pain... what a conflict. We are sorry for your loss. God is still in control and he will continue to take care of you and your family.

I am so thankful that Ms. Manning was part of our "village" growing up on Watterson Street. She was one of many mothers for me beyond my childhood and even until today. For every small gesture of love I provided her over these last few years, it will never be enough to repay her for her love, support, friendship, and encouragement. She always cared about my and my family's well-being and especially Adam, even though she had plenty grands and greatgrands! Take your perfect rest Ms Manning. I will miss your kind smile. To Kathy & the family- the body fails, but Love remains. ♥️ Billie Faye Wilson Moss (Curtis, Brian, Elliott, and Adam)

To Jackie and family. My sincere condolences. I remember spending the nite with you all and your mom made me feel very welcome. Annie Margie McClain Rowe

To Jackie and the family. My sincere condolences. I remember spending the night with you all and your mom was very nice to me.

Archie and I have been blessed the last twenty years getting to drop by sharing a meal or flowers with your sweet Mother, Mrs. Manning, is how we always greeted her. My last visit she said, " I've been asking about you and Archie." We will miss her, but we thank God knowing she is resting with Jesus. 🕊

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
