Stanley Martin West

Sarah and Keith: I am devastated to hear of Stan's passing and my heart goes out to both of you. I have lost a dear friend, someone who I always knew "had my back". Stan had a big,kind heart and even a few "issues" (LOL), but I know he is walking with angels. Our world has gotten a little darker and I will miss Stan until we meet again.

....be not burdened with times of sorrow.I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.My life's been full,I savored much.Good friends,good times,a loved ones touch.God wanted me now.I took His hand when I heard Him call.I turned my back and left it all.I'm following the path God laid for me.Perhaps my time seemed all too brief;Lift up your heart and share with me,for He set me free.....Often Stan and I talked about Jason and his to early call to God and what this life was really all about and I had heard the above poem I shared it with him and it truly touched his heart.If even for only a moment to have had someone special in your life is to be blessed,a gift from God.His promise to give it back in the end is where we rest our hope,having faith in that is where we find our comfort.Uncle Stan you are deeply loved and will be terribly missed.You will not be forgotten and what you miss now I will fill you in when we meet again. All my love to Keith and Sara.

I lost a co-worker and a close friend with the passing of Stan. You always knew what Stan was thinking, he would never hesitate to voice his opinion and I found that refreshing. He was truly a guy who would help anyone and had a big heart always putting friends and family at the forefront. I will always have the memories and great times we shared. You will be missed my friend.

My Dearest Stanley, There is a hole in my heart with the lost chance to tell I love you and how much I cherish the memories we had. You were always there for me and I am so sorry I didn't take the time to tell you how much you meant to me. I will see you on the other side. Behave yourself up there keep Mom company till I get there.

For you Stan, THE PIG WILL DIE TONIGHT !!! Love you always and forever
