Dear Gert, Jeannie, Audrey, and Stanley,

We are so sorry to hear of the lost of Stan. Our thoughts are with your family during this difficult time.

Gail Summers and The Shepherd Family

I am so sorry for your loss. I am more sorry that I did not get up to the hospital after I spoke to Audrey on Monday last week. I pray that all of you are doing well and will continue to pray for you.
I never once saw Stan without a smile and a kind word for me. He always made me laugh. Even through his own pain he worried about his family. I am proud to have known him for as long as I did and really happy that I finally realized that he was Audrey&s dad. How small the world is to have grown up around Audrey and not know that this was her father. It had been a long time.
I will forever remember Stan and will be happy to see him in Heaven when we meet again.
Take care and I sincerely Love you all.

I only knew Stanley as a neighbor. We would interrupt our lawn care to talk - which I always enjoyed! His love for his family was evident in all that he said. He was a kind and caring man who will be missed. I know this has been a difficult year for the family. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,

I have only known Stan and his family since late Sept or Oct of this year.
Stan and Gertie were such lovely people to meet, as well as their family. Stan and I ""hit it off"" from the start, sort of a mutual admiration maybe?, but I think the quote at the top says it all. I looked forward to seeing him and talking with him.
Despite his illness, and his family grief, he kept his cheerfulness and good nature! Oh to have known him earlier! Thankfully I was honored with knowing him and meeting his family, even if for a short time.
Thinking of you all and wishing you God&s peace at such a tender time.

P.S. Gertie I will try to stop by sometime soon and will call before I come.

We are so vey sorry for your loss. Your family will be in our prayers. Kirk and Becky Hurst and family.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you
at this difficult time. Stan was so much
fun and will be missed.

Stan, Angie and family -

I saw the notice in the J&C and want to express my condolences regarding the loss of your father. Having lost my dad earlier this year, I know that this is a hard thing to go through (especially at Christmas time) but we can take comfort knowing that our dads are in a better place because of the sacrifice that Christ made nearly 2000 years ago ... Even a greater reason to celebrate Christmas! All the best to you and your family.

Jim Vruggink and family

Thinking of your family at this time....My Father and Stanley&s Mother were brother and sister. I remember him speaking at his mother&s funeral (Thelma) and thought he did a wonderful job...God bless all of you at this time.

Gertrude and Family,

Although my words cannot begin to ease the sorrow of your loss; please know your are in the prayers of so many who care. He suffers no more; for what ever reason the Lord has called him home he is there to Celebrate with Jesus and Charlotte. I have no doubt what a magnificant place Heaven is and he is singing praises and telling stories there too.

I pray Lord Jesus to comfort you, give you strength to support each other and recall those wonderful memories during this difficult time for you all.

God Bless,
Robin

We were saddened to hear of your loss. Tanner, we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. May you find comfort from your family and friends. Blessings to you and your family.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Our hearts and prayers are with your family. Praying for God&&s unexplainable peace to surround you and His love wrap around you.
