MANUEL ALICEA Tribute

I have always remembered the Alicea family as God's gift to me and my family. I met Pastor Manny when I was seven years old. He was the kindest gentleman I have ever met. He was so understanding and possesed the ability to make you feel the presence of God. My strongest memory of him is, how he made my dad feel comfortable enough to visit the Bronx church. My dad was very stubborn and used to drink alot. Brother Manny embraced him as if he always knew him. When I saw the smile on my Dad's face while they spoke, I thanked the Lord for having there paths cross. Not to mention the friendship sister Alma offered my mother. Thirty something years later, I am grateful beyond words. May we all be as lucky again. God Bless You.
