i have missed Mr and Mrs Stanton living in Murfreesboro as I remember them when I moved here years ago and married their neighbor’s son Johnny Cobb, Faye Cobb’s son. I know Mr.Staton has been missed by you all and I am sure Ms. Stanton will be equally missed. She had such a quiet nature about her and a genuinely sweet lady. Another angel has been added to the garden of heaven.
