We'll remember your mother with fond memories of when she was able to be at the pizza place, greeting customers, taking their orders and taking their money! She always got a kick out of Larry teasing her; we missed her when she wasn't able to be there anymore. Our prayers are with all of you at this time of loss

Bill, I am sorry for the loss of your mother. Manetta was a part of King's Inn for so many years, and she always had a kind word for everyone in our family. She was nice to Amy when she was just a tiny tot. Your mom always asked about her every time I checked out as long as she worked at King's Inn. Amy always asks to go to King's Inn every time she comes home--even yet! I have thought of Manetta often with only fond memories. God bless you as you go through the difficult task of final rites. May the arms that welcomed your mom into heaven be the same arms that hold your heart throughout the memorial services.
