Elden James Stang

One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there were one set of footprints. This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints. So I said to the Lord, "You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there have only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?" The Lord replied, "The times when you have seen only one set of footprints, is when I carried you." We miss you Dad.

My sympathies go out to the entire Stang family. Mary I'm thinking of you.

We were so saddened to see Elden's obituary in this morning's paper. I have so many fond memories of Elden beginning when I joined the Horticulture Department in May of 1979. He was always such a kind man with a great sense of humor. I was pleasantly surprised his many talents included a love for cooking & have several recipes he shared. Darrell & I extend our sincere condolences to Judy and his family. Bless you all at this difficult time in your lives. Judy & Darrell Barth

My condolences for your loss. Elden was a good man and it was good to know him. Kelle and I are thinking of you.

We're so sorry to hear of the loss of Mr. Stang. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to Mrs. Stang, Doug, and the rest of the family. May God bless all of you during this difficult period.
