Fernando PosadaA Tribute To Dr. Craig Manifold
Saddened by the sudden loss of Dr. Craig Manifold, perhaps solace can be found in reflecting on the “gifts” Dr. Manifold freely and without reservation shared with everyone he came across.
Join me in reflecting on your personal memories of Dr. Manifold as you listen to:
María López-Gallego rendition of ~ We Three Kings
music.youtube.com/watch?v=cSwgUH5LlAY
I likened Dr. Manifold to the three wise kings in that his life was tri-fold,
‘We three kings of orient are,
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain, moor and mountain,
Following yonder star.”
Personable as a devoted family man and friend to many, sharing his love, warmth and humor
Professional as a dedicated and compassionate physician, educator and mentor
Patriot as a member of the military, servant~leadership, and love of country
Dr. Manifold lived with intention, with desire and vision. And as in the chorus line of “We Three Kings” –
“Oh, star of wonder, star of night,
Star with royal beauty bright.
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide with thy perfect light.”
He was (is) a”guiding light” in showing us a path in reaching our dreams and goals.
Am enlightened by having crossed path with this dear man.
His Peace!
