“Wow that’s really sweet. He made his mother happy before she passed away knowing that she got to see her son get married, party with the newlyweds & families & dance with him 1 last time. She passed away happily.” This is one of the many comments posted on the YouTube video of Ryan Manning dancing with his mother Mary Ann Manning at his wedding earlier this month.
Mary Ann Manning, 61, fulfilled her dying wish of dancing with her son Ryan at his wedding on September 5. She was diagnosed three years ago with breast cancer lost her battle three days later after the wedding, September 8.
Her daughter Kristie taped the heartbreaking moment her mother got out of her wheelchair to dance with her son to ‘Somewhere Over the Rainbow’. Her YouTube video says, “Mary Ann Manning lost her battle with breast cancer just 3 days after this dance. She held on with all her might to give her son this last gift. It’s really the epitome of a mother’s love. She now joins her other baby boy, who passed 4 years ago, in heaven.”
