My sister Jan's youngest son, Scotty, passed away suddenly and tragically on Sat. April 26, 2014. My dear sweet nephew was only 16 years old. He was Lacie & Rebecca's cousin. (my sister, Jan is their Aunt)
Scott loved to play soccer at Elk Rapids High School, near his home in Williamsburg, Michigan. His school held a memorial in his honor on Monday April 28, 2014 at noon on the soccer field. Also, there was a balloon ceremony and a moment of silence at 5:00pm.

Scott was born in Santa Rosa, CA on Oct. 16, 1997. His family moved to Michigan when Scotty was two years old. He has one brother, Gregory A. Manning, his parents, Michael C. Manning, and my sister, Jan A. Manning. (and his dog Zoe)
My mother and my sister Kathy flew out on Monday to be with Jan. I wish with all my heart that I was on that plane too, to try and provide some comfort & help for my sister. My heart goes out to her during this devastating time.
Scotty was loved very much, and will be missed forever by our entire family. This tragic event in my family has put things in perspective for me about life, and hopefully for others too.
*I want to take this moment to say to my own children, Lacie Gershenson & Rebecca Roth, how much I love and cherish them. Through all the good times, and hard times, I will always love you both, my precious daughters.*

I kissed Scotty on his forehead, and said "Good-bye Scotty, I love you". That was the last time I saw my nephew. He will live in my mind forever as that sweet little boy in the blue striped shirt.
All my Love,
~Your Gramma Lynn
