Our deepest sympathies to the Stanley family. We remember Meta through Andi from when we acquired their lovely Lake Grandin home nearly 20 years ago. We still enjoy it and see her touches that are still there. Our thoughts are with your family. Jeanne and Bob Castro

I am sorry to say I never met Mrs. Stanley, but knowing her through her precious and beautiful daughter Andi makes me know that her life was well lived and those whose lives she touched will feel a great loss. I pray for peace and comfort for those she left behind and rejoice with her in her renewed body and her much deserved new home in heaven. Laura Murray
