Support for Manning's Family in Their Loss
Donation protected
- Words cannot properly convey the gratitude our family has felt from the outpouring of GoFundMe donations, meals, gift cards and floral arrangements (as well as all the heartfelt messages, cards, love, prayers and support). Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. As the Cole family continues to heal from their tragic loss, your contributions have helped to remove other burdens so they can focus on healing and remembering baby Manning.
- Below is our original message explaining why we set up this GoFundMe page.
It is with a broken heart that my husband and I announce the passing of our grandson, Manning Rian Cole, on June 26th, 2024. Manning was born on July 7th, 2023, and was 11 days away from his 1st birthday.
Our beloved grandbaby passed away suddenly and peacefully in his sleep. Manning was just 11 months old, the precious son of our daughter Chloe and her husband Brian, and a cherished little brother to Macklyn.
We are devastated by this unexpected loss, and we are reaching out to their community for support during this incredibly difficult time. Your contributions will help them cover the funeral expenses for Manning, alleviating some of the financial burden as they grieve and remember our sweet angel.
Any donation, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference in helping them honor Manning's memory. Your kindness and support are deeply appreciated by our family. Thank you for keeping our family in your thoughts and prayers.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Dave and Deb Blessing, along with Chloe, Brian, and Macklyn Cole
