To the editor:
In response to the article "Missing mother: Deborah Manning's family mourns 20 years after unsolved killing": I would like to extend my sincere thanks for this story. Deborah Manning, my aunt, is forever in my thoughts. I am grateful that I still have my mother, Barbara, and wonder if I would be able to live and grow like my cousins have. They are truly remarkable people. I have faith in God that her murder will be solved and know that one day we will find peace within our lives. As your article stated, I sincerely hope that if someone out there knows the truth, they will come forward for all of our sakes.
