Dear Janice, please accept my condolences for your loss. I worked with your mother at the Labor Department for many years and admired and respected her and your very gifted father. She had monumental dignity and calm and generosity of spirit and it was an honor to have known her, if only as a companion in the workplace. I hope you (yes, I remember you as a little child!) and yours are doing well and are comforted by memories of your wonderful mother. Ray Donnelly

Mrs. Stanton was a lovely lady, always had a smile on her face. Her daughter Janice is the greatest possible testament to her mother. She always had a special place in my heart and she will be missed very much.
