Dear Stan, Fran and Family,

Thinking of you all during this difficult time. The last time I saw your dad he was celebrating 50 years with my dad at the Masonic Lodge. He looked so happy and that is just how I will remember him. What a big, beautiful smile! I know that he has an even bigger smile now that he is in Heaven with your mom and Jesus!!!! I look forward to seeing him again one day. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers and that I love you.
