Happy Birthday, Poppy.
I miss you so much my heart hurts. I miss kissing your cheek, hearing your voice, seeing your smile and your hugs. You always had the answers. As I anticipate writing this for your birthday, there were your numbers on the stove clock. You gave so selflessly and never asked for anything. I am forever thankful that you were my father. I am grateful for the memories. I love you, as always, with all my heart.
We would like to apologize for not mentioning that Edward Manchen was predeceased by his brothers, Robert (Berdie) Manchen and Charles (Charlane) Manchen.

So sorry for your loss. Eddie was a classmate of mine and we had many good times. I am happy we did get see each other at our Class Reunion in 1992 & 1993 and, also, at the Chicago Avenue get together in 2001. We had good talks & lots of laughs. A good person! Sincere sympathy.

Ken, Cindy, Karen, Kelly. Your dad was a very very funny man. He always had something great to say every time we talked. He loved you all so much, and always loved being around the grandkids. He had a great heart. God bless you all thru this hard time.

We all had wonderful times together growing up on Ridegeway. Living in the 1950's with wonderful neighbors and friends is an experience the kids of today will never experience. You were a great friend (always funny), I will miss you.
