May God's strength be with you during these difficult days ahead. Hope to see you soon. My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Mr. Manganelli. To see our parents fall asleep in death is not easy. They gave us love, comfort and support. But although they are absent from our lives, we still have our heavenly Father whom we can turn to for comfort. He assures us tha he will wipe away the tears of sorrow from our eyes forever and death will be more.
