Dear friends and Colleagues,
I am very sad to learn of Mark's passing. I read about this untimely demise of learned and highly skilled and collaborative peer with a gentle touch and humane engagement with his patients' colleagues and the community as a whole in the Courant today. We referred patients to each other and consulted on management of patients. Dr. Eleanor Pringle, MD also of Haddam, Mark, and I were also linked by our work in supporting the activities of CT. Psychiatric Society(CPS) and the New Haven, Middlesex Chapter of the CPS. Our discussions even during our drives to and from the meetings were very refreshing and valuable to me.
In terms of his therapeutic style I think the closest approximation I can provide to a well-established model is the Existential psychotherapy that was enunciated and elaborated on by the living master Dr. Irwin Yalom, MD. The wonderful book, "Staring at the Sun offer several vignettes and great insights into the wisdom and skill of an unselfish, humane and wise human being who chose to get involved with patients in person and on the phone irrespective of the billing codes which forced both professional caregivers and their patients into a mechanistic procrustean framework pursue the important work of building a more complete human experience who can expect to lead lives they can value.
The Community as a whole, including his colleagues and patients and my friend Marks own family have much to be grateful for and cherish. I will miss my friend Mark. I have become a better caregiver and a peer in terms of my interactions in political and professional relationships over the course of my friendship over the past three decades with my friend Mark. I acknowledge also my work with Ms. Candace Wilson when we worked for the same employer Mx Hospital and Health Care System back in 1977.
I bid you a fond farewell. I pray that your spirit will eternally encounter peace and harmony that you tried to help us achieve here in the temporal sphere. I am deeply grateful for this my friend, Mark.
Sincerely,
Velandy

In the many years Dr. Mark Stanberry offered me his insights, his patience, new methods in changing thoughts process, and being more a mentor, his loss has been felt very deeply. Dr. Stanberry was an unselfish man, whom though his own life's struggles, opened new doors for new learning to those like myself who were willing to accept his wisdom. No one had more of a positive influence on my life than this man. I miss him, his wisdom, his ability to generate hope.
Dr. Mark Stanberry changed my life, as I'm sure he did for others. He was a special man.
To his family, especially his wife, Candice, my prayers continue.
God bless the soul of this man who so unselfishly helped others with his insights and the excellent clinician that he was.

I remember Mark as a really cute little boy when he would visit his grandmother in Bethany, Missouri. His mother, Ruth Ida, also was a good friend and later worked at my fathers drug store. Mark Yates, my cousin, notified me of Mark's passing. My prayers are with you.

I am deeply saddened to hear about Dr.Stanberry...he was a wonderful, tremendously kind man with a huge heart and truly cared deeply about his patients. My mother Dorothy B. was his patient for many years...he helped her so much..I came to participant in one session and experienced what she had been telling me. When my Mom became quite ill and was in rehab care for a short while he came to visit her...she told me Dr. Stanberry brought a party to her room...I thought she was confused..she wasn't...!!he brought a huge balloon bouquet to her! he helped me so much with being an advocate for her care there and consulting w/ the Dr's. I was out of state and couldn't be there all the time...I am so grateful for all he did. My Mom passed away in 2004 and Dr. Stanberry and I exchanged Christmas cards every year since then..I didn't hear back from him this past Dec...now I know why. He even came to my Mom's funeral...my heart goes out to all of you..Candy, I know what you must be experiencing...my husband Frank recently passed away suddenly and also young..in his fifty's...so you will especially be in my thoughts and prayers. Dr. Stanberry has left the world a better place..may the good Lord bless you all.. ..Blessings, Patti Mahoney

My memories of Mark go back to the early 70's.I worked at the Washington Count Mental Health Clinic in RI. I remember well the day that Mark appeared to take the position of Medical Director. We all fell in love with him. He was kind, professional, friendly, and brought new spark to an otherwise dull agency. Sadly he only stayed two years. Nothing was the same without him and I did not stay much longer. Some of us went to his wedding when he married you, Candy. We were thrilled. In those early years we stayed in closer touch. I remember the day, Candy, when my husband at the time and I helped you move to your house. We arrived and, to our surprise, no packing had been done! But we got the task done. I also remember a Thanksgiving dinner at your house and a trip to NYC. Also a dinner in Conn. when your son was in a car seat by the table!
As the years have gone by we have had less contact- the last time, I think, was at Mark's 60th birthday party in RI. We all were asked to bring our favorite CD's as gifts and I introduced you to Norah Jones. I regret that we did not stay in better contact and I did not know that Mark had been ill. He will be in my heart always as a person and colleague who graced my life. Cynthia Wilcox

Dr. Stanberry was a member of a diminishing class of psychiatrists who not only manage medication but also provide generous psychotherapy TIME for their patients. I am grateful for the guidance and insights he bestowed on me during our all too brief relationship. In our work, there are few like him. To Mark's family: your loss is shared by many.

There are not words to express how I feel about Dr. S. I would not be who I am today were it not for my work with him. I loved our frequent "life' discussions and have continued to think of him often.He had a hard time getting rid of me. He was truly a gifted psychiatrist and wonderful man. Thank you for sharing him with so many of us.
