To the Stanger Family: My deepest condolences for your loss.
Kip,
You will be mourned and missed, but you will also be remembered long and loved deeply. You were affectionate and generous, strong and proud, fun and free-spirited. You were beautifully imperfect. No one can replace you. May you move beyond the labyrinth of your worldly cares to rest, heal and be blessed.
