My Heart Has Wings My heart has wings when i see a bird rest in a winter tree and when the river's music plays Splashing the stones on sunny days my heart has wings when children smile and flowers bloom for me a while when summer with its sweet perfume comes visiting my garden room all of this beauty is God's own each butterfly, each bird, each stone, so i must thank him for all things each day He gives my heart new wings!

I'll always have a special place in my heart for my dear cousin Stanley. I know that all my siblings will miss him terribly. We had very fond memories from Mashpee and Fair Haven growing up. Love, Cousin Tedda

Uncle Stan when the new year rang in I was wishing you a happy birthday and couldn't pick up the phone to call you. You were my father when he wasn't around, and I will always thank you for that. I remember the firsttime you waited up for me to come home, it was the prom and I was shocked. I was never so happy. I love you and you will be missed.

Still remember you Stan, and still miss you. You were my best friend in college. I always pray for you. May the Lord be merciful to you for the kindness you always showed to me. We still have photos of you as one of the ushers at our wedding on September 6, 1070. Rest in peace.

Wish I could talk with Jennifer.
