I am so sad to hear of the passing of Manning. Manning was a good guy. Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow, may looking back at the memories help comfort you tomorrow. Please know your family is in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry of your loss of Manning. . . he was wonderful to Chuck and I when we first moved to Cando and always after that. He will be missed.

I was so sorry to hear about Manning's passing. I have many memories of Manning from dart seasons long ago, like the "Green Door" song on the jukebox (it didn't take long to figure out who kept playing that one) and how we found out that we shared the same birthday!! My sympathies go out to Janice, Dirk, Troy, Lane & families.

My condolences on the loss of Manning. Dad called me earlier this week and told me that he had passed. I don't get up to Cando much anymore but when I do I try to look up Troy and at least say Hi. He and I are the closest in age of the boys and spent some time together when I visited Cando growing up. Once again, my condolences to the entire family.

I would like to say i am so sorry to the Pederson family of Manning. i knew him well and Miss him so much i havent been able to see much of him for awhile now but when i was younger i seen him everyday he was my Uncle as i would call him. I love and Miss you so much Uncle Manning Rest now and allow the Lord and your Angels take you into there Loving Arms, that there they will take good care of you as well. Love you so much and so sorry once again you had to leave us so soon. I know you had a good life. My Prayers and Thoughts go out to you all. God Bless the PEDERSON FAMILY!!! Hearts. You will for sure be greatly missed in so many ways.

Please accept my sympathy at the loss of your Manning. (I still get the Cando papernews!) I have so many great memories of 'growing up' with the Pederson kids! I'm sure neither Lou nor Marcella would approve of an e-mail for an expression of sympathy. Times have certainly changed! I remember Harry 'ahead of the pack' with all his home movies. He'd probably love all this new technology. Thinking of you.

I am so sorry for your loss. May "the God of all comfort" (2 Corinthians 1:3,4) comfort and soothe your heart. His promises, found in the Holy Scriptures, can offer much hope. It assures us at John 5:28,29 that our loved ones will be remembered and brought back to life in the resurrection. Please allow God's Word to strengthen you and help you to endure this most difficult time S. Ford

My sincere condolences to the Pederson family. I first got to know Manning @ 10 years ago when I purchased a property in Egeland. I contacted Manning to do some work there. He was a courteous and responsible gentleman. Through the years I got to know him better through his association with my brother Ron who lived in Egeland. I'm sure if Ron were here today he would express his sadness at Mannings passing. He will be missed.
