Ann Cecelia McManus

Dear Marty, Kevin, Meg, and siblings,

My deepest condolences to all of you on the death of your dear mother. I have fond memories of watching her and my mother, when they would run into each other at Churchill's on Byrne Road, sharing their thoughts on the delightful, never ending task of grocery shopping for a large family! I also think it was so special that in recent years at least one of you would dine with her every night.

May she rest in peace.

Mrs. McManus was one of my mom's best friends, and one of my favorite moms. Just a funny, tough lady who took ZERO guff, and had a cracking sense of humor. Now she and my mom get to drink wine and giggle again.

I ADORED Mrs. McManus - she was the BEST - a devoted Mom,supersmart, sassy, HILARIOUS, adored her family and friends, my Mom (Ann Maria) and Aunt Sue (O'Neal), among them. She was CRAZY about Hugh Jackman, and I sent her some pics and things of him, and used to call her and give her a heads up whenever I knew he was gonna be on TV or in a new film. After my Mom died and I was still living in Toledo, she used to take me to lunch at the Toledo Club, and we would have a ball, dining in our white linen tablecloth luxury, laughing our heads off - GOD, she was such fun! I was just thinking about her the other day and wondering how she was. I am so sorry she has left all of us earthlings, but the Heavens will surely be celebrating her arrival - let the party begin!

Sending her family all my best thoughts and fondest memories of our times together!

With great affection for Mrs. M.,

Molly Wassermann

Hello McManus Family,

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time. I have a lot of fond memories of Aunt Ann and Uncle Frank.. It was such a good time growing up with all my cousins. One big family to another.

Much love and prayer,

Your mother left quite a legacy.

Dear McManus Family,
I was so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. What a BEAUTIFULLY written memory of your mom. I was in Kevin's classes at OLPH and remember your mom and my mom working together at some of OLPH activities. This continued when Katy and I played tennis together at McAuley High School.
Your dad and Micheal have their arms wrapped around your mom and keeping her safe and loving her more.
Know that Brent and I have you all in our thoughts and prayers.

Peace,
Maggie and Brent Reed
