I LOVE YOU SO MUCH…don’t know how I’m gone live this life without you! Watch over me….until we meet again!

Cousin George Stanley, I was saddened when I heard of your passing. Although I did not get the opportunity to meet you face to face, we did have many good conversations on the Gage Family Connection via FB. I will always cherish those moments, as well as our chats. We had begun sharing family pictures as a way of getting acquainted. I will miss those times. I didn’t get to meet you face to face but hearing the stories that your sister, Dorothea shared with me, I know you are a good man and you were loved. You’re home now, all is at rest, and one day I will see you. To my Oakley family, my heart goes out to you. Please know you are in our prayers and may God grant you his comfort and peace during these times. Earth has no sorrow, that Heaven cannot heal. Love, Cousin Brenda

Beloved Brother Stan,
You came into this world too soon, too soon, too soon. When you came to us, you and I were barely a year apart. Yet somehow we welcomed you into our family, taking your place as the first male son to our parents. As the years when by, you grew and grew and grew, much taller than I. Eventually it became obvious that God sent us a very special “big brother”.
Now sadly we say, just as you came you also went . . . too soon, too soon, too soon. Although you are gone from our presence you continue to be in our hearts and memories. We will never forget your smile, your grin, your laugher, your deep yet gentle way of speaking and your kind heart.
It was my joy to hear you speak of your children and grandchildren. It obvious they were dear and special to you. In those moments, as in others, I realized what a masterpiece of a man you were becoming. Now that you are home with God the masterpiece will be complete. Love and honor I give to my brother Stan.
