When I joined the Stanley family I immediately picked up on the fact that Jason was Lee's shadow and Cindy's baby boy!! There's something about that mother and son bond but I saw that father and son bond as well! I saw him grow into a handsome young man who married a wonderful girl and together they made 2 beautiful children. I pray that God's grace will comfort each of you just knowing that Jason is no longer suffering. He fought it like the typical Stanley but now he's in the presence of the Heavenly Father and two of the finest individuals I've ever known....Henry and Thelma Stanley. I know they have alot of catching up to do!!!

Jason, you were such an inspiration in life and death. You touched so many lives in such a special way. You faced life's trials with awesome courage. You and Todd shared so many memories "growing up" together and he misses you terribly. However, we take comfort in knowing that you have been made perfect...no more cancer, no more pain, no more suffering. We long for the day we will see your smiling face in eternal glory!

Jason was a gift from God to Lee and Cynthia because God knew that my son Todd needed a playmate. They were first cousins but their love for each other was more like brothers. Todd and I will always have Jason in our hearts!

Jason,
You had such a beautiful service and everyone that came out you could tell you was loved by many. Your buddy Bill did not do so well. He misses you so much and sometimes just don't know what to so with him self he is used to talking to you on the phone or texting. All of us has been trying to help him lean on us more. You know how Bill is though. There will never be a day where we all want think about you. We will still do stuff in your memory. If I could have one prayer for Bill and that is to find peace and comfort. I know the Lord listens to my prayers and Jason if you have to reveal something to him to show him please do. I know if he had a church family which he liked your church maybe I can get him to come maybe that way he feels closer to you. Lord you know my whold prayer about this i don't have to tell it all. you know our hearts our wants and needs. I pray this brings us all closer to you Lord, so we can be as happy as Jason is right now in your loving home.You know Lisa, the kids and your family we consider them ours too.
Love you... You inspired us all..
