I was shocked to hear that Stacey's family lost her so early. Stacey was a lot of help for me during & after my parents divorce, I just wish I had the chance to tell her that. I hope her family stays strong & remembers all the good memories. Seeing her picture brought those memories back for me

After reading this, we can tell Stacey lived her life as when we knew her in high school. She could do it all. An excellent student, a great athlete, a leader, a great sense of humor, and was kind to everyone. Who did we admire more than Stacey? We will all miss you.

I remember you well and although I haven't seen you since high school (running track relays together), I am saddened you have passed away. It sounds like you did so much in the little time that you were here! You will be missed by so many, especially the lives of those you've touched. My prayers and thoughts go to your family and close friends at this time..
