I am so sorry for your loss Stacey! My prayers are with you and your family. I am sure if your parents were like you, they were very good parents.
Dear Stacey, Chris, and Families, I’m shocked and deeply saddened by the deaths of you parents. I’ve known them since 1966 when we were stationed together in Massachusetts. On March 12, 1967 shortly after midnight, they drove 60 miles with Pizza and Beer to the parking lot of Hyannis Hospital and that’s what we were doing at the moment my first child, Matthew, was born. We saw each other in Bonita Springs last year and were talking about doing it again this spring. They will be sorely missed.
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Hank and Lynn. I haold pleasant memories of working with Hank in the past.

Stacey was truly my BEST FRIEND … Get mother I always KNEW was one of Gods angels on earth … she will never leave my heart … And Mr. Staniszewki adored everything about her .. you could see it in his eyes whenever he looked at her … They loved Stacey and Christopher with their whole beings …. This family is a true treasure and a blessing to my life …
