To The Stancle Family:

Sis. Stancle was my Sunday School teacher as a child. She was a vessel that our Lord used to spread his gospel. I will miss coming by her house to see her and just talk about our lives and how good God is. She meant a lot to me and I am truly blessed to have known such a tried and true soldier in God's Army.

May God grant peace to you during this difficult time.

To all the family, we love you very much...Knowing sister Stancle all these years since I was a child just fills my heart with memories. I smile as I think of her just a few weeks ago when we spoke. She was strong in her faith, loving in her conversation and ready for service to The Lord...here or with Him. We love her but God loves her best and took her home with Him. Peace to all of you. Love and prayers to you all...
