There are no words that will express the loss that our family feels as we say goodbye to Michael Stanley! He will live in our hearts always and be our angel watching over us. Although we have not spent much time together over the passed few years, the memories I hold of my little Michael are precious to me. That beautiful little boy who came running down the hall yelling "My Ageda", is burned in my memory and heart forever. There are too many memories to write about but they will live in my heart forever. Michael was a very brave, strong man, who was taken from us WAY too soon. I love you Michael and will miss you!
