Sending my deepest sympathy to all of you, Mrs. Stanley was our bus driver for many years, and one tough lady with a beautiful smile…every morning when we climbed up those big bus steps..there it was with a good morning everyday, many memories of her. She didn’t take any of the ruckus on the bus that’s for sure, don’t know how those bus drivers do it….she was such a lovely and gracious woman, so very sorry to hear of her passing, may she rest in peace now and cherish her memory. The hardest thing in the world losing your mother, she’ll live on in you.
Our hearts and prayers go out to the Stanley family. Your mom was quiet, strong, loving, non-judgemental and kind. She has been an inspiration to many, including (me) us. I thank the Lord for her being my aunt, and look forward to the day when we will all be together again, in heaven.
God bless,
Fred and LeAnn
Our deepest sympathies go out to you Billy and the rest of your family members.
I have been keeping tabs on your mom’s health through Mindy and saying a prayer for her, for healing in whatever form God would make it. Because sometimes we know that the healing we need is to pass on to be with Him for Eternity where we are in no more pain and suffering. And we were also praying for you for the strength that only comes from God.
Thinking of you during this fime.
To the Stanley Family;;; Martha was a very caring lady. She loved her Military background and would show it whenever she could. I know she loved putting that uniform on an showing respect for USA and military. She loved people and being around people. Sorry that I did not find out in time to pay my respect but I do have a lot of respect for that wonderful lady. I do have the family in Prayers
To Martha’s family
I was sad to learn of your mother’s passing. We have been friends for decades and the memories I have are so comforting. I pray each of you will find God’s comfort during these coming days, weeks, months. Martha was a lovely sweet person, very caring. Thank God for the “blessed hope” we have in knowing where she is now, and that we will be reunited once again in eternity. My love and prayers are with you.
