To Mrs. Manuel: Rest in Peace! To the family, I am so sorry for your loss. My Mama knew Carolyn Manuel (and the other Manuels). She was a "Burns" and we all went to the church in Old Town where the Tidwells preached.
So very sorry for your loss. Carolyn was a precious person and your loss is great. Prayers for the family!
