Condolence From: Tanya Thompson
Condolence: Manuel and his wife Violet were good friends and neighbours when I lived in Havelock as Tanya Dawson. Wonderful people. We shared many prayers, laughs, good times and dinners together. Cherished memories. I know both are resting in the arms of our blessed Lord.
I smile when I think of Manuel one evening at the front of the church when my now ex and I hosted a talent night for the members. He sang one of his favourites, "I've Got a Mansion". When he got to the chorus, he said to the ones singing along, "Sing it like you mean it!" Well, Manuel, I know that mansion just over the hilltop was waiting. I think of you every time I hear it and brings tears to my eyes.
You and Violet will always be dear to me.

Condolence From: Pastor Robert & Amy Seaboyer
Condolence: Manuel Lowe, another child of God called Home.
Imagine stepping on shore and finding it Heaven,
Imagine touching a hand and finding it God's,
Imagine breathing new air and finding it Celestial,
Imagine waking up in gory and finding it Home.
It is true, we can only imagine what Manuel must be experiencing but I thought Bethany Aplin expressed it so beautifully.
Manuel, was a lifelong friend, having grown up in the same part of Nova Scotia that I did. When he and Violet married I was invited to be an usher at their wedding. In time I was invited to be the Pastor of the Havelock Church. Manuel and Violet were loyal and faithful members. Like most Nova Scotians we shared a love of music, especially hymns. Manuel and I would sing duets, and when Claudia, also from N.S., and her husband came to visit, we became a trio. After enjoying a delicious meal with the Lowes and Bounds, out would come the hymn book and we knew it was time to sing, and sing we did.
Manuel, will be greatly missed by family and friends, but who could wish him back. He ran life's race well, and now he has beheld the face of Jesus the One he loved and served so faithfully.
To his beloved nieces and nephews, we extend our deep and heartfelt condolences. You are in our thoughts and prayers as you celebrate a life well lived.
With our love and fond memories,
Bob & Amy Seaboyer

Condolence From: Brian and Eleanor Gee
Condolence: When Manuel came from eastern Canada and married our sweet Violet, there was great excitement especially among we young people. It could be truthfully said we were a "church full of music". Here was a new singer who could join any group singing lead and helped make our choir stronger. We sang and played unto the Lord and only eternity will reveal the far reaching effects of that music. Many of us left our little, beloved Church and people for school and employment. We were in volved in other churches but never quite like the one that nuturtured us at first. However Manual and Violet remained constant in the Havelock Church. Along with them, we all desire to hear, "Well done, good and faithful servant."
