Name = Paul Sternberger E-mail = repntexas@sbcglobal.net Phone Number = 817-296-2550 Memorial Name = William Jenkinson Comments = Our family would like to extend our deepest sympathies at this time of immeasurable loss. Manford was a "man of the earth" as was my father. Their love of life was to see the combines in the fields, the smell of fresh turned soil and awakening of nature in the spring when the farm started to turn green with new life. You will be missed, but your imprint in this life was truly precious and appreciated. God speed..... Name = Twila Patten E-mail = twila@rocketmail.com Phone Number = 321-725-7025 Memorial Name = William Jenkinson Comments = In paraphrase, the Word of God says for us to not stop the little children from coming unto him. This phrase so fits Manford---a man that was a friend to all children, from his work with the children in the church to his work with education. A man of humor and hard work, what he did matched his belief system. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Twila-dila Name = Trooper Jimmy & Julie Helm E-mail = juliehelm@yahoo.com Memorial Name = William Jenkinson Comments = Dear Sue & Curtis, Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you during this difficult time in your lives. God will be with you every step of the way so don't forget to look for Him. Sincerely, Trooper Jimmy & Julie Helm Name = Wayne Kircher Family E-mail = beknken@qwest.net Phone Number = 575 377-2708 Memorial Name = William Jenkinson Comments = Both of my parents, Wayne and Helen, grew up with Manford and graduated from high school with him in 1939. That friendship continued throughout their adult life. Our families shared many good times together and Manford and Margaret drove to Fairview to say good-bye to Mother when she moved to Houston. They were truly good friends of ours and good memories last forever. Becky McMurphy |
