Jr. and the extended Stamper family. It is a day of sorrow, and a time to rejoice. Sorrow in that they are no longer with you and the rejoicing in that he is at peace and re-united with all the love one's that left ahead of Mr. Stamper, and most importantly he is with his Savior. Your in thoughts always.
