To:
My dear, sweet, kind, and loving friend Mr. Marc Manning.
Some days I can't believe you're gone. I thought you were always going to be here.
I miss your smile, your silly little laugh and everything else.

From the first time we met I knew you were something special. You immediately took me in and took care of me.
No one and I do mean no one loved me unconditionally the way you did.

When ever I was feeling down you knew exactly what to do to lift my spirits and change my perspective.
Your love was genuinely true and pure. You always rooted for the under dog, and everyone loved you.
I miss you so much, tears are falling from my eyes as I write this.
I know you're in more of a happy space...and you are with your family and loved ones in heaven.
Good bye for now dear friend...
Until we meet again.
I will always love you.
Gabrielle aka Bena

My Beloved Brother Marc,

When I Think Of Losing U... I Am Reminded Of The Moment We Met. Two Of Our Elders Jimmy & Doug Brought Us Together. U Greeted Me With A Smile We Shuck Hands & The Rest Was History. From That Day Forth We Embarked On A Journey That Only By The Grace Of The Most We Made It Thru. In A Short Time We've Had Some Ups And Downs But In The End We Remained Brothers & Friends. We Stood On Many Stages Trading Guitar Licks & Chords, All The Bands & Endless Rehearsals Trying To Make It Happen. U Always Told Me That I Was One Of The Greatest Entertainers, Performers, Musicians & Singers U've Ever Known. Words I Have Never Taken For Granted And To Me U Were One Of The Best Band Mates & Road Dawgs A Guy Could Ever Ask For. Thank U For Ur Undying Loyalty To Our Brotherhood. I Can't Even Begin To Imagine The Rest Of This Journey Without U. As Always U Had To Have The Last Word And I Guess There's Nothing I Can Do To Stop U This Time, Lol...
I Bet U're Up There Driving Everyone Crazy Right Now (Smiling) 
Anyway, I Love U Big Brother & Until We Meet Again, Like U Always Would Tell Me When We Would Part Ways...
Keep It Funky!!!

When I married Marc.
I married into a beautiful Manning family they were always, so loving and kind. His sister’s Gaynell & Pat and his three nieces Selena ,Maxine , Laray his nephew Jason, and his other son Justin, and his brother Wayne always treated me so nice. I felt the love from my new family in Fullerton. We have two beautiful sons that I’m always so Thankful for. I will always remember his father Matthew ask that when Marc, and I divorce he asked me to please keep the Manning name with the boys. I said I would honor that for him. To make sure that there would be Manning’s to continue his name. I remember Marc to be jealous because I was so close to his mother Mama Clara Manning he’s always say that’s my mom ...and I would say no she’s my mama...
Well that’s one of my memories of Marc.
You will be miss, I know you’re in Jehovah‘s memory now

Thanks to our God Jehovah, which gives all of us an abundance of comfort and Love to help us through trying times like this. While Marc is asleep he will be there for thee most grandest family reunions ever , because there will be a resurrection. A guaranteed reality ~ JOHN 5:28, 29. 

My dear brother Marc,
When we were kids and shared a bedroom I remember always practicing my tackling technique on you before my next game. We also liked getting ready to go fishing with grandpa, we would be so excited that we couldn’t sleep all night the night before. We would get in trouble for making so much noise waking mom and dad up. Such fond memories. Love you so much

My Brother... As children he was always under foot ...  following me and gettin’ me in trouble

As young adults we sang in a band with friends
Our favorite duet together was a song by
David Gates and Bread “The Best of My Love”

I loved our harmony and rifs on that song

The harmony of just Our voices singing and him playing a simple acoustic guitar

I miss you Marckie

Love Gay ❤️
