Dear Uncle Stan, You will have to forgive me for being late with my birthday wish. Please know I was thinking of you. I remember one other birthday I was late. I sent you a special card. It had a peapod on the front and inside it said "Peas forgive me." I know it brought you a chuckle that day. Another fond memory that I have. I love and miss you Uncle Stan. Love Shirley

Stan & Family, Yes, wow where does the time go. As we learn in life it goes so very fast. Grandma always said we won't know what hit us. She was right again, again, again. God bless her. God bless stan too as they are together just in waiting for us all. It won't be long and we will all be there soon enough. God takes care of them and also is taking care and watching over us. So many have gone before us and when our time comes it will be marvelous I am sure. Jane, Rich and Chris---God be with you and take care of you in the coming year as this never goes away. We do get better and richer for going through it.
Love you , Cheryl & Al & Kandice

My dearest Stas,
This has been one of the saddest and most loneliest years of my life since you left us. I miss you terribly each and every day. Rich and I visited your resting place yesterday and left some flowers. I hope you liked them. Chris was there today and left some of her own. You are forever in our hearts, my Stas.
Do widzenia,
until we meet again.
Your Jania

Rich,
My deepest condolences on the passing of your Dad. He lived a great life and that should be celebrated. My prayers and that of my family are with you. I know what you are going through as my Dad only passed away a few years ago. I'm sure you'll find comfort in remembering all the good times with him.

You were the love of my life, and I miss you so very much. It's feels like half of me is missing since you left us. Memories of your voice, your smile are with me every moment of my day. You will remain forever in my heart until we are reunited once again.

Jane, Rich, Chrissy: Such a sad time and wishing you All the BEST as you go through the process. I know Stan is preparing his place and as always a place for you all someday so don't fret, I am sure he will do a great job as he has in life. A special place he always had for Kandice -slipping her some money whenever he saw her, such a kind and caring person and full of cool stories to tell. We will miss him dearly and that just shows the kind of person,husband, man and friend he truely was.
God will watch over him but I know.
Our Best, Cheryl & Kandice

Dearest Uncle Stan,
I was so greatly saddened when Aunt Jane called me. You have always been such a wonderful Uncle to Dick and I all of our lives. You and Aunt Jane have been there for us as long as I can remember. Summer vacations with trips to the beach, to the lake and to the mountains. (And all of the rescues). I'll never forget the Bronx Zoo. Such wonderful memories. Especially once my Dad died you and Aunt Jane always made sure to visit us here in NH to make sure we were ok. Your unending patience when Richie and I would get silly. I would love hearing your stories of the old days and for some reason my one picture or memory is of you making burgers at the grill. You knew just how much to handle the meat, lightly and not too much patting it once or twice, to make the perfect burger. I wish you peace my beloved Uncle. I will miss you greatly. Love Shirley
Dear Aunt Jane, Richie, Chris, Mark, Ashleigh & Trevor, you have been on my mind constantly this week. You are in my thoughts and prayers that God will ease your pain and fill you with wonderful memories of your beloved husband, father and grandfather. Love Shirley, Bill & the Pups..
