I WAS SADDENED TO HEAR OF THE PASSING OF MANNY. MY MEMORIES ARE FILLED WITH WONDERFUL TIMES THAT WERE SHARED WITH HIS BEAUTIFUL KATHY, AS WE SHARED BEAUTIFUL DINNERS AT "INTIMA" RESTAURANT WHICH OUR FRIEND RAY OWNED. WE HAD YEARS OF WONDERFUL CONVERSATION, LAUGHTER THAT MADE OUR STOMACHS HURT, AND MANY WONDERFUL ADVENTURES. HE WAS A ONE-IN-A-MILLION GENTLEMAN, WHO RESPECTED WOMAN, AND IF YOU WERE HIS FRIEND, YOU WERE BLESSED. HE WAS KIND, HE WAS SWEET AND WHEN HE LAUGHED IT ECHOED THROUGHOUT THE ROOM. I SHARE THE BEST MOMENTS WITH MANNY AND KATHY AS WE SHARED MANY LOVELY EVENINGS, MANY BEAUTIFUL DAYS AND ADVENTURES. I WILL MISS YOU MANNY, AS I PRAY THAT YOU NOW FLY WITH THE ANGELS~ TO THE SICARI FAMILY, AND ESPECIALLY TO KATHY AND HER FAMILY, JOE AND I SEND OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES AND BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL~ THE SKY IS A LITTLE BIT BRIGHTER BECAUSE MANNY SICARI HAS ENTERED THE HEAVENS~ I SHALL REMEMBER ALL OUR LITTLE DANCES AND JOKES AS MY HEART IS HEAVY TO BID YOU FAREWELL ~ WITH MUCH LOVE & BLESSINGS, BRENDA & JOSEPH ABBATE
