Dear Pat-
I was so stunned to hear of Stony's passing. I've always admired the two of you- for being such good, honest people. I don't know why I never put two and two together, but it wasn't until Aunt Lynne (Norris) told me about how many people attended Stony's funeral, that I figured out that you and Joan are sisters. Makes perfect sense- you are two amazing women that I'm honored to know- you both have such a warm, calm presence. Stony left such a great mark on so many people-he...

Dear Friends of Stony,
I can't thank you all enough for all the kindness you have shown our family during this most difficult of times. The loss we feel is unbearable. To know that Stony was so loved by many makes our days a little brighter. We were so overwhelmed by the outpouring of the community for Stony. The amount of people that showed up for the viewings and funeral were so heartwarming. Everyone has offered so much help at this time but there is nothing to do but try to...

Dear Pat, Heidi, and family,
I knew Stony for over 40 years. I don't think I ever had a better friend. In all the years I knew him, he never changed. Always had that smile and wit that made him who he was. I will miss him very much. If you ever need me for any reason, I will be there for you and the family. God Bless.

Dear Pat & Kids, I will always remember Stoney for his smile and good deeds. Sometimes I just don't understand why things like this happen. I know the Bible says the rain falls on the just and the unjust, but it wasn't his time! Stoney will not be forgotten, I only hope the prayers that go up for you will help as you mourn his loss. My answer to the Stanley Brothers song, yes, Stoney, we WILL, miss YOU, when your gone.............very much!!!

Pat, Billy, Jack, Chrissy & Heidi,
Stony was a great man and well respected. I know he had a good friend welcoming him to heaven. I don't think god is going to be ready for them two together. Please let me know if we can help in anyway. Jack, Bill & Chrissy: take care of your Mom, she will need you always. Here is a poem that I hope will help you through.
Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and...

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort. I graduated with Stoney but have not seen him since. But I feel your loss. Praise God for where he is now.
