Rest in Peace, Stanley "Stan the Man" McClanahan (March 31st 2002-July 20th 2014)


You came into our lives, unexpectedly.
A picture was worth a thousand words,
And in reality, worth a thousand more.
You had your problems, yes...
But the love that filled you outweighed it all.
Your protective ways have kept us feeling safe
And your sweet demeanor has allowed children to play with you and neighbors to love you.
“We have a dog named Chester, and Chester has a dog named Stanley,” we would say.
Your unwavering loyalty to your brother has taught us what that word really means,
And your unconditional love, despite a rough start in life, proves that love conquers all.
You have been my friend and companion for many years, through the good times and the rough times.
You walked with me side by side, or behind sometimes when you were tired, and now you will reside always in my heart.

I will miss you, Stanley.

Love, Mamas
