Death does not wait to see if things are done or not done. Our death is not an end if we can live on in our children and our grandchildren. After all, to the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure and may be the greatest of all human blessings. Love accepts death not as an ending but as a way to a title, a cover around its pages so that we who are left behind can read again and again.

Services will be at Coulee Region Cremation Group, 133 Mason Street, Onalaska, WI on Friday, January 11,2019 at 3:00pm with visitation at 2 p.m. Lunch to follow. A special Thank you to Jane (Muffy) Manley, Mike Christenson, Doug and Kris Manley in their love and support.
