My thoughts and prayers are with the Stanford family and friends. Bobby was a good man and I enjoyed getting to know him a little playing Bingo at the Minneapolis Veteran's Home.
There was an empty space at his table on Saturday and he is missed.
Thank you Bobby for your service and for sharing many fun Bingo games and your friendship with us in the MNPG.
It will be an honor to stand the flag line on Friday.
A small addition to the new staging area that might help a little.
From the intersection of interstates 35W and 494. East on 494 to Hwy 5
past the airport one mile to Hwy 55 turn off (to Mpls). North 1/8 miles
on Hwy 55 to Bloomington Rd. (Ft. Snelling) exit.
(Alternative is to go east from 35w on Hwy 62, which becomes Hwy. 55, and exit
at the Bloomington Rd/Ft. Snelling exit.)
The building really stands out and can be seen from the highway. It is also very near the soccer fields.

And yet another Mother asked President G.Washington, "Why did my Child have to die near Valley Forge?" Long, long ago a Mother (Mary) asked, "Heavenly Father, why did my Child have to die on a cross outside Jerusalim?" All the answers are so near the same.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of
Bobby Stanford, USMC Veteran. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. He is
one of America's Heroes that will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Bobby.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.
