Stanley was a Big Brother is every sense of the word. His favorite pastime was making me crazy but he was ALWAYS there for me and my best friend growing up. I will miss him so much and I know he will be standing there with Mom and Dad to meet me there on the other side. I love you Stanley.

I loved my Uncle Stanley so much. As a child he always made sure I had what I needed (sometime just what I wanted) and as a adult he always let me know he cared. In loving memory of a wonderful person. I will love you and miss you always.

God promise to wipe away tears from their eyes, no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain. May your family have peace and comfort in this trying time.
