Eileen, Connor, Julia, Alysa, and all of the wonderful Mannelly family -

i know how many fun stories you shared of your parents - how you enjoyed facetime with them since you couldn't visit in person.

remember the great, fun, family laughs and how much your mom/grandmother cherished you!

deepest condolences -

Joe, Joann and Mannelly family: We were sorry to hear of Cissys' passing. Rita was fortunate, at an unfortunate time, to meet Cissy briefly at Mayo. One of the things she remembers was an awesome piece of jewelry that indicated the birth of her children and grandchildren. This was an outstanding statement of family and how she valued each of you. May you always cherish the times of fun and laughter and her Christian example of how to truly live to it's fullest. Rita & Joe Brinker

Hello, Jim and family,

I will miss her strong emphasis on social justice and the help that she constantly fought for at the orphanage in Mexico. She was a very good friend of Fr. Clifford Norman. Give my regards to all the family.
