Aunt Doris, Dwayne and Angela, you are in my thoughts and prayers during this time. Uncle Frank was always such an inspiration to us all and will surely be missed. I can only imagine the wonderful time he’s having in Heaven.
Love and prayers for the family. Pastor you will be missed but your memory will live on forever.
Frank was a kind and godly servant to God and his congregations. His life exemplified grace and Christlikeness. He will be greatly missed, but many others will meet him one day in heaven because he shared his love of the Lord wherever he went. My prayers are with his delightful wife, Doris, and their entire family. Earth was a grander place because of Frank!
Sorry he’s gone from this earth as he was a true man of god I’m sure he went home, in heaven now. He will be missed. Prayers for all, God Bless.
We are deeply saddened by the loss of our pastor, mentor and friend. We do not know the plans and purposes that God has for him, but know that they are great plans and significant for the kingdom on the heavenly side. “There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another.” (I Corinthians 15:50). May God comfort the family and friends who remain. We didn’t expect this loss at this time, but with God’s strength we accept it. His Christian witness and the lessons taught will remain an inspiration to us for the rest of our lives!
My sincere condolences to your whole family. God gave us the opportunity to meet him and it was an honor but his memories are with all of us. Rest in peace.
Frank and I were good friends since 1969 in Bible college. He was a man after God’s heart. He was faithful, diligent, giving, generous, friendly, man of prayer and God’s Word. There’s not enough words to express my appreciation of him! He will be missed, but only temporarily. We’ll see each other again!!May God bless his wonderful wife Doris and their lovely family.
My prayer and though with the family, I will never forget all the great thing he has done ! You guys are will be apart my family love ya!

Heaven gained a very special person, a teacher, a prayer warrior, a friend, a husband, a father, a grandfather. He was never too busy to listen to your woes, to pray with you, for you or too help in your time of need. I know, because I was one of these people, he was never to busy to let me cry, with him, through my losses, to pray for strength and to see me through my trails.
We are praying for strength and comfort for the family, to get through this time. We send our condolences to you and your family.
Pastor Stanley was a wonderful man with a very kind smile. I enjoyed him as my Pastor for many years. He married me & my husband in my parents’ living room. He was always very supportive and ready to listen in times of trouble. The Stanley family will always have a big place in my heart. Praying the amazing comfort & peace that our Lord gives. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I’m sure Pastor Stanley will hear God say, “Well done thou good & faithful servant.
My heartfelt condolences to Pastor Stanley’s family. You will be greatly missed by many family, friends, and people that you touch here on Earth.
Well I know one thing he is up there with Alice and Reds just a talking,
with one another. :) Sad time because he is no longer here with y’all but a happy time too
he is with his Jesus and others who he knew went to Heaven and greeted him at the
Pearly Gates. Pastor Stanley will be missed all I have is memories now, he was a man after God’s heart and truly a great leader who taught us the Word of God and steer it in our hearts and for us to apply to our lives daily! Well, I best be going said enough (laugh out loud) Prayers and concern coming your way! Jesus intervene as the family and friends come together as they say ….see you again someday soon and give them peace, and also through his death that you draw whom ever to you Lord…Amen Blessings to you all, love Dave and Kathleen <3
My thoughts and prayers are with you all in this time of sorrow. I went to Bible college with Frank. Lois Nelms was my room-mate. We do rejoice that he is in glory and we all will see him someday. May God grant you comfort and peace.

I know that everyone he came in contact with had to be blessed because you could just feel the presence of the Lord on him. I learned so much from him and I am sure will continue to learn because we still have his taped church messages and listen to them. My love goes out to the family and know that if you ever need anything I will be there for you.
Love you!
Our prayers are sent to the family.
Pastor Stanley was a true man of God the work he did here will always be remembered.
Doris and family, our deepest sympathies on the passing of our dear brother Frank. He was a true man of the Lord.
On behalf of our family we are very blessed to have had him in our lives. In our thoughts and prayers, The Rossier Family.
Frank was a very special brother-in-law. He will be sadly missed. He was one of the godliest men I have ever known.
With love, Tom.
