  1. My deepest sympathy on your loss. I am the daughter of the late June (Weathers/Demarest) Nastasi. My grandmother was Agusta’s sister, Josephine. I grew up hearing stories of the Standige family. Your mother is being joined by a
    wonderful party of souls in heaven.
    Sincerely,

  5. Dear Susan and Judy,

    It’s hard to believe the last of ‘The Sisters’ has gone. I have the some of the best memories of my childhood from Marshall Foch. Coming to mind is my first dance with a girl at a King Cake Party (while Aunt Shirley, Aunt Gerry and my mom were peeking from the next room and biting their lips trying to hold in the laughter). I was in heaven dancing with Donna-with my eyes closed-and they were all about to have strokes!
    Warmest wishes to you guys. We now have one more to pray to.

    Love,
    Bobby

  12. Dear Mama,

    My love is with you. I reflect on your intentions to make my and Susan’s life secure and comfortable to the best of your ability. I love you for that. You made a heartfelt effort to make all of the events in our lives as memorable and happy as possible.

    Those efforts are what we will keep deep in our hearts for the rest of our lives.

    I will miss you; however, I know that daddy is thinking ‘Shirley, what took you so long to join me’. Mom, you are now allowed to have every sweet treat that you could ever imagine.

    My love forever, your daughter, Judy.
