Sloan Manning wrote a sympathy message

“We will always appreciate the love and concern that John and Fern showed to us. Fern sold us our home when we moved to High Point in 2003 and John compassionately and skillfully managed matters surrounding the passing of our mother Patsy Manning in 2011. God bless them both. We know their reunion in heaven was a joyful one. Grace and peace, Sloan and Jana Manning High Point NC”
