Dear Alice, Wayne, Lucinda and Dennis -- We are so sorry to hear about Stanley's passing. We know that he is now free of all ills and is happy in heaven with your parents and those who he loved. He had a warm welcome! Thankfully, our daughter Melissa (Penn) learned of Stanley's passing through her genealogical connections and immediately called us. We look forward to seeing you on Saturday. Love, Bernadette and Ron Whitfield
