Please accept my sincere condolences for your loss. Death is the enemy of all mankind, yet when it touches us personally, it is at times difficult to receive the comfort we search for.  In times like these I know I can find comfort in God's word.  In John 5:28,29 He tells us " Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out."  As the God and Father of tender mercies, He wants you to find comfort in Him through prayer ( 2 Cor 1:3 ).

Manny, my brother, my friend, my protector. I don't know what we will do without you. You were my little brother but the biggest brother in my eyes. You had a heart of gold and a real zest for life. You enjoyed every moment you had in this world. You loved helping other people.Manny the last thing I could give you was to speak at your memorial service. I hope you were pleased. You know Charlie loved you as much as you loved him. Your greatest gift to me was loving and respecting my husband. Thank you Manny for all you gave, all you left behind. You left Sherri and I a wonderful sister in Debra. She will forever be family. I hate to go because it is like saying good bye and I can't do that yet. I love you my brother. Enjoy heaven.

Please accept my condolences.  Manny was like a son.  He spent many summer in the Keys with our family.

Manny was like an older brother to me.  He spent every summer with us.  I learned a lot from him.  We had lots of fun! I have many great memories! He will be greatly missed.  We are so sorry for your loss.  Manny will forever be in our hearts.

To all,        We all loved Manny, he was a loving person. My fondest memories are when we were young and he would come spend the summers with us. We all had a blast fishing, swimming and just being young. When he would leave we would all shed a tear. He was like our brother. He touched many lives and will live on forever with his children and grandchildren. Love to all April Carrera

I never got to know Manuel, but it is said the fruit of ones life never falls farm from the tree and in getting to know Jennifer as she serves our community Im sure I would have seen much of her dad. My prayers are with all of the family in a time of reflection and moving forward. We commit Manuel to a faithful God.

I have known Manny and his family since I was 6, I have had the privilege to work with him for the past 9 years. Not only was he my coworker but I could call him a friend. He would crack me up all the time, he was rarely in a bad mood, or if he was he wouldn't show it. I will never forget him and he will be greatly missed everyday! I will say a prayer for his family to comfort them in this time.

What a great guy. Manny and I grew up together as teenagers in south Tampa. Manny's favorite thing to do back then was building hot rod cars and he was very good at it. We had many great times working together as mechanics. His first real job was working with me in a gas station. Gas was 50 cent a gallon back then. I never forget the good times we had and the great and caring person Manny was. He was always there to help everyone. He will be greatly missed. If God has mechanical  things up there I'm sure he'll be glad to see Manny arrive. Your ole buddy John.

Bob and I didn't know Manny but felt like we did due to the many wonderful things that our Daughter Dana and Son-in-Law Doug have always said of him.  I know he will be missed and we are so very sorry for your loss.
