You are in our prayers and thoughts.We will miss you. Even though we didn't visit, we always knew you were there for us. You were a person we could look up to. Love, your nephew,Lane Wimmer

Our thoughts and prayers are with you Jimmy and the rest of the family. As I was growing up and into my adult life I always enjoyed seeing Nubbin. She was always funny and told it like it was. She'll be missed.

Jimmy and family, so sorry for your loss. Aunt Mabel was always so much fun at the reunions. I remember her with a smile and know you will as well. Love to you all.

We all had some great times with Nubbin. These times are now memories for us to keep as Nubbin moves on to a better place where one day we will all meet up with her and our other loved ones. May she rest in peace. My condolences to Jimmy and his family.

My son Gary and I want to give our condolence to the Manning family. We will always remember her sweet smile.
