Eason was an amazing husband to my sister, brother-in-law to me and great friend to many. He lived a happy life full of jokes and laughter. I am completely sure that God has him now, and I am just as positive that God is enjoying his sense of humor as much as I did.
I love you, E!
See you again,
Bebe

To our beloved Daughter-In-Law, Misty, Ken and I do not know why you , we, and Eason's sister or your family must bear this pain.  Our Master does all things well and so we trust that he/she will bring us all through what ever befalls. Eason is at peace and his passing cannot lessen the power of the resurrection for him or for us. To honor Eason and to take care of each other , we must not allow despair to win. We must keep hope, love, faith, our memories, and our friendship.  We admire your courage and we know that you are carried by the wings of the eagle and by Eason's and your love of God.
You will forever be our daughter. We love you and expect you to contact us anytime you want, wish, or need to do so.
We will forever miss our beloved son.
Hugs,
Mom Mary and Dad Ken Manwaring

To Misty and the Manwaring family.
I am deeply sadden to hear of your lost. I have worked with Eason for many years and he was a remarkable person and good friend. I wish I would have known he was hiding such pain. I feel I could have been a voice of reason or an ear just to listen to whatever was on his mind. God will comfort you and give you strength in this difficult time and I will always keep you in my prayers.
Be strong.
