Happy Heavenly Birthday Manuel!  You would be 59 today.  I remember all the fun birthdays that we celebrated for you.  All of your sweet wonderful friends making them days to treasure!  You were always so fun and excited about life.  As the sun would come up in the morning a smile would brighten your face.  So many possibilities for the next 24 hours.  I miss that.  I feel you all around me, and know that you are guiding me as I move through each day.  My smile has returned, my hope has returned, and my new life has begun all because you have stayed by my side.  I love you with every part of me and keep you close at all times.  Give Alex a big hug and kiss for me.  I love you, Your Forever Wife, Patty!
