I met Stacy once, person-to-person but for a good time through my daughter… Stacy was my daughter’s (Kathy) boss, but also her friend. My daughter always talked about her so beautifully… so I know that this lady had a big and kind heart. I am convinced that our heavenly father and his son Jesus has a ver special place reserved for her.
To her family: God gives you the comfort that your hearts need. My sincere condolences to you all.

I was a teacher at Merriam Grade School where Stacey attended elementary school. She was such a cute girl who grew to be a beautiful woman. Stacey and I reconnected through FB about a year ago. I bought T-shirts from her and just like everything she did…they were perfect. Stacey was always happy and would light up a room with her smile and positive attitude. I am saddened by her passing. Just too young!! I pray for her precious family who she truly adored. ❤️

The thought of never seeing that beautiful smile or to never hear that beautiful voice is heart breaking. Knowing our Lord now has his loving arms around her.and no more suffering no more pain. She truly loved with all of her heart and had a heart of gold, she loved her family so deeply and the beautiful love she and her soulmate Bryan had was just so precious . I have never met anyone quite like her and feel so very honored to have known her. Will think of her often and miss the hugs she always had for me , what a lovely person inside and out , will be truly missed. My deepest condolences to Bryan her soul mate and to her children and all family members. I raise this family up in prayer for the strength, comfort, peace and guidance in this very difficult time, in Jesus name, Amen 🙏
