My sister, Peggy Wheeler, sent me the information that Pat had passed. I send my condolences to the entire family. I used to babysit for Bill, Karen and Melissa when I was a freshman in high school and have always appreciated what a fine family the Mannings are and kept them in my prayers.
I MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE YOU YOU WERE MY BUDDY
