Dear Stanley family, I wanted to send my deepest love and condolences. Mrs. Stanley, as we always addressed her, was a surrogate mother to me and my brothers each summer we traveled from Arcadia, California to tour the DC area with Rio Hondo Prep. And she WAS our mother. She showered us with love, care and the most amazing home cook meals. Her hugs where warm and filled with the love of Christ. Her smile always lit up the room, and she was a consummate example of service for The Kingdom. Know that she was loved and had a lasting impact on the Lee boys, John, Bill and Ken.
With love, honor and respect
