My days were always brighter when Manny was part of them! Even on the days I knew he didn´t feel his best, he made sure he made us feel loved and appreciated. I will always remember his smile, his mischievous spirit & the laughter we shared. We love you buddy & miss you dearly! My condolences Jozette, Jocelyn and Ashley.
