Frankie Manning Health Update: prayers, cards, good energy appreciated

Posted on April 25, 2009 by
Frankie

Update from folks who are close by Frankie Manning in the hospital:

As you might have heard, Frankie entered the hospital a week and a half ago, due to problems with his
medication. Then on Friday, he was taken into the intensive care unit after
he developed pneumonia. It is a very serious situation.  Although he cannot talk or
move his limbs, he recognizes people and responds to their messages of
caring and love. Throughout all of this his spirit remains strong and
his family and close friends are with him.

Please take some time during your day to send Frankie healing
energy, prayers and love and tell everyone you know to do the same.
You can also send him a personal note of encouragement here:

Frankie needs our support!

More updates as we know more.  I'm holding Frankie and his nearest and dearest in the Light in this difficult time.

    Frankie was bigger than life. It feels like his passing somehow left a big hole in the planet and it’s hard to imagine how life could possibly continue without him here. Surely the Earth’s rotation is off it’s axis by the huge blank space left by his departure. Although he was shy about accepting compliments, he leaves a legacy I think even he would be proud of.
    I’ve never met a better human being than Frankie Manning, and I’m honored he considered me his friend.
