Dear Ivana
I am deepley saddened to hear of Stan’s Passing.
He resided at Agecare Pinegrove for many years and he truly will be missed. In all the years that I have known you too, you have always been so supportive and visited Stan often bringing him in your delicious home cooked meals that Stan enjoyed tremoundessly. Back in the day, you would take him outdoors to enjoy his cigar which I know he was forever grateful. You have always been an exceptional wife and Stan was soooo fortunate to have been blessed having you in his life. You are an Angel and May God Bless You with an abundance of good health, happinesd and peace Always.
May Stan’s Memory be A Blessing. The team at Pinegrove will remember him fondly.
My Condolences Ivana to you and to Michelle & Adam. May Stan RIP
