My love to Jane and all your family. Mr. Stan was a kind, loving and a wonderful friend. He was always thinking about others even when he was at a critical time with his health. I admired the precious marriage he shared with Jane. He loved her so much and she cared for him as no one else could. God blessed us all with our friendship with Stan.

With love and respect to a gentle and wonderful man. Stanley had many roles in life; a son, a husband, a father, a friend. A part of him lives on from the moments I have spent with Stanley. Memories. This is truth for everyone who knew Stanley Smith. Be well and find peace.
