Dear brother I will truly miss you but never forget my big brother. You always protected me as a big brother should and that I will never forget. I’m truly sorry that we didn’t get to share more as a family and not getting to know your children and grandchildren like we should have. To my nieces and great niece and great nephew I’m here for you regardless of the separation of time. I’m so sorry for your loss as well as mine. My brother thought the world of his daughter and grandchildren he constantly spoke of you in every conversation I had with him. I love my big brother and I truly hope that I can gain a better relationship with his children and grandchildren. I’m proud to be Stan’s baby sister. RIH Brother 🙏🏿❤️❤️❤️❤️
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
To Valrie, Dennis, Dorothy and the entire Oakley Family, please accept my condolences for the Home Going of Stan. I am truly saddened at hearing that he passed… He will be missed. Growing up as neighbors; we were one big-happy family. Stan was like a big brother to me. My heart truly aches right now…. His laugh was large and he laughed with his shoulders going up-and-down and he would bend over from joy! He was a lot of fun. I am happy to know that Heaven has welcomed an angel and he’s smiling on us now. Val, I am praying much for you… I did not have a opportunity to meet Stan’s daughter and grandchildren, but I am positive they are true sweethearts, because Stan was a very kind man.
Peace be unto you Family.🎚🙏🏿🌹
Love, your Friend for Life. ❤️
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.
My condolences to
George family.
I meet him at VA Hospital
Every time we saw each
other, we had a conversation.
