Early in the morning of December 16, 2020 an angel was sent from the throne room of Heaven to Childrens Hospital in Knoxville.  Returning a millisecond later to place the precious soul of beautiful, baby boy, Eli Grayson Manis of Harriman into the arms of our Heavenly Father. Why, we didn’t get to keep our precious baby boy, is known only by God. Left to morn his short earthly life are his mom and dad: Hanna Stephens and Thomas Manis; grandmother: Becky Manis; grandparents: Tony & Goldi Stephens; aunt: Brittany Stephens; great-grandmother: Joyce Stephens; great-grandparents: Tom & Polly Davis; and a host of great uncles, aunts and cousins. Baby Eli was preceded in death by his grandfather: Frankie Manis; paternal great-grandparents: Bobby and Katy Massengill; and maternal great-grandfather: Charlie Stephens. The family has requested a private graveside service. Schubert Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Eli Grayson Manis.
