Dear Featherstone family,
I am so sorry for your loss I cant even begin to know what you are going through at this time. One of the things that I have found to be a great source of comfort when I lose a loved one is the thoughts expressed in the Bible at John 5:28,29 were we see that God is going to bring our loved ones back to life. at Revelation 21:4 We see that God is going to eliminate all of the causes for why we get sick grow old and die. also at Psalm 37:10,11,29 we see that God is going to destroy all wicked evil people and oonly those who love him are going to have the chance of living forever here on a paradise earth surrounded by happy healthy people who love him. It is my sincere hope that these thougthts bring your family comfort at this time. once again I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Fay and Ron: How very sad to read of mom’s passing. I last saw her at John Avey’s funeral so it has been awhile. I have fond memories of her back in the 50’s when we all use to hang out front of your home on Evergreen Ave and your mom trying to get Ron in to practice his music when he wanted to play with us. (smile) My mom remembers good times at the Home and School Association when they both belonged there. So many memories for you. She lived a long full live. You have been blessed. fondly Ronalee

Dear Fay and Bob~
It’s my sense that the loss of a loved one is devastating, regardless of their age. In fact, maybe there’s a way that our older generations are all the more precious, because they are like living lifelines to our own shared histories– to earlier and often more innocent times.
Please be assured of my prayers, as well as those f my family and my church. God bless you.

Dear Ron & Fay & families
My thoughts are with you as celebrate a life well lived. We are left with some wonderful memories of Aunt Marion and Uncle Fred over the years; the days, years ago, at the trailer up at the lake, the annual Stanley family gathering (3rd Sunday in August), and more recently as they were with us at my parents 50th anniversary.
We also think about the passing of a generation, as Aunt Marion was the last of a proud family born and raised on the 16th concession of London Township. My grandfather always held a special place in his heart for his little sister. Family was very important to the Stanley clan, a value that was passed along to many of us.
My sincere condolences

Hi Fay, Bob and Family.
Thinking about you today… and the image that comes to mind is the point in the Jewish Seder when the youngest turns to the oldest and asks, “What is it we remember this night?” May your special time now be filled with the memories and meanings that sustain and make each day, past, present and future more blessed because of your Mom’s life.

Dear Fay and Ron:
We were saddened when we received an e-mail from Bill Winser, with the news of your Mother’s death. It had been awhile since we had seen your Mom, and it was hard to believe that she was in her 97th year. Time passes quickly.
We just wanted you to know that you and yours are in our thoughts, at this difficult time. We know you have lots of wonderful memories to cherish – especially if you still have Uncle Fred’s old movies.
Sorry we were unable to be with you today.
With sincere sympathy,
Bill and Sheila Langdown
