Frank was an inspiration to colleagues as well as to students at Northampton Community College. He share the following prayer with a prayer group there. It speaks to the way he did his work:

I speak Your Peace, Your grace, Your mercy,
and Your perfect order into this office.
I acknowledge Your power over all that
will be spoken, thought, decided and done within these walls.
Lord, I thank You for the gifts You have blessed me with.
I commit to using them responsibly in Your honor.
Give me a fresh supply of strength to do my job.
Anoint my projects, ideas and energy,
so that even my smallest accomplishment
may bring You glory.
Lord, when I am confused, guide me.
When I am weary, energize me. When I am
burned out, infuse me with the light of the Holy Spirit.
May the work that I do and the way I do it bring
faith, joy and a smile to all that I come in
contact with today. And oh Lord,
when I leave this place, give me traveling mercy.
Bless my family and home to be in order as I left it.
Lord, I thank you for everything You've done,
everything you're doing, and everything You're going to do.
In the Name of Jesus I pray, with much love and Thanksgiving.....
Amen.

You were a blessing, Frank Stanton. Rest in peace.

Rest in peace Frankie, you will be missed. Many fond memories of early recovery and our killer games of cut-throat racquetball with Merrill. Know that you made a difference in the lives of others.
Love you,"brother man."

Frank was my first counselor at the college and he helped me a great deal. He nominated me for an award and academic scholarships. We all appreciated the effort he put into his work. Frank helped so many. Peace be with his family.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it's the memories of you that are the most precious.

To my "Sweetie Dumplin",
I will miss your laughter and your smile, but I will especially miss the way you called me "Babe". I am glad that God gave me the privilege of being your wife these nine years. You will always be the "desire of my heart". I look forward to seeing you again. Rest in Jesus until then.

My deepest condolences to Frank's wife Patricia, son Shawn and the entire Stanton family. Frank was a mentor to me when I graduated from college 32 years ago and that turned into friendship; so much so, I had the honor of DJ'ing his wedding. Much respect and admiration for this man. May you forever RIP!
