To Our Homegirl, We love you and in our hearts you will stay today, yesterday, forever and always....
May you rest in peace Ms. Lacey.
Words cannot express the sadness in our hearts and we miss you so much but we know that you are a child of God and take comfort in knowing that he called his angel home to suffer no more. Your spirit will live forever with all of your kindness, the gestures of love and always keeping the faith that family and friends would never forget the love you always showed to us all.
Life is but a stopping place, a pause in whats to be, a resting place along the road to sweet eternity. We all have different journeys, different paths along the way. We all were meant to learn some things, but never meant to stay. Our destination is a place far greater than we know. For some the journeys quicker, for some, the journeys slow. And when the journey finally ends, well claim a great reward & find an everlasting peace, together with the Lord.
And to Ms. Emily & family, this is a time of gathering all the best of Heather's good life into the pages of our memories to be held in our hearts forever. Trust that God will be especially close in these hours of need. We are keeping you close in thought and prayer that her loving memories will bring you peace and comfort.
Thank You Heather, for your life, your love and friendship. The reason it hurts so much to separate is because our souls are connected & tied within our hearts. We pray for rain to wash away our pain, but thru the light of your love, faith in friendships, and the warmth of your smile let it bring us peace to know your spirit is still here bringing calm to our grief.
Missing you always....With Love
Tony, Lori, LeAsia and Lauryn Williams

My heart jus sank to hear you had ended your journey & entered the gates of heaven. My only regret is not seeing your warm smile before you left. You was an achiever, very successful at anything you did, sharp, classy & top*notch at your game. I am sad to hear of your passing, but I hope there is comfort in knowing GOD will take care of you now. You will be missed!!!!
Much luv,
