Stan,Gloria& family I´m so sorry for your loss. You are all in my prayers. I remember when Jeff McCollough (my husband at the time) got a job working for Stan Courtney was just around 4 or 5 yrs old . I fell in love with her the 1st time I met her. She was the cutest and sweetest little girl she had such a cute personality. She has stayed on my mind all these years later. It was 38 years ago when I was first introduced to Gloria & the 3 kids. My heart goes out to each and everyone of you at this time May god be with you and help you thru your time of sorrow.
You all will be in my prayers.
