My heart goes out to Stacey’s loved ones and her children 💔. I loved Stacey dearly, such a sweetheart, down to earth. Loved to make everyone laugh, but overall so very caring. She treated every one of us like her own. Her heart was full of gold and such good spirit 💛 I’m gonna miss our fun times and laughing with you. And you silly hats and random stuff you always had. Oh and your good jokes always had a laugh. I love you so much 💓 rest in peace 🙏
I grew up with Stacey. I met her when I was 16. My mom used to call us “little duo’s.” It became a staple for her and for us. We started calling each other “little duos.” And when we grew up and were mothers, 20 years later, we called our kids “little duo’s.” Stacey was one of my closest and dearest friends growing up. We all were inseparable. I’ll forever hold a piece of her in my heart.
Amen❤️🙏
I am so very sorry for your alls loss. Rest in peace Stacey. We all grew up together and had such a great time as kids. I am sorry that I can’t be there because I live in Florida now. My heart goes out to the family. Love and prayers🙏❤️
I am so sorry Darrion, Olivia and Kimbriana, and family. My heart is heavy and filled with such sadness right now. Although I’ve known Stacey since high school 100 years ago, it was in our 30’s when we became close friends, and Stacey became the best friend I’ve ever had. She was there for me through some of my roughest times and I’m sure that without her I wouldn’t have pulled through the way I did. Stacey was so inspirational and supportive, and knew how to boost the smallest of confidence. It sounds so cliche, but Stacey would light up any room she entered. She was so FULL of life and love. Stacey and I sometimes could go a month or two or more without talking just because life is busy. When we would finally reach out to one another, it was like we would just pick up where we left off. Like we had only been apart for one day. I am so deeply sorry and so sad that Im not going to get that “catch up” call. I just can’t believe it. Stacey you are and forever will be deeply missed. I love you baneepha ! See you on the flip side❤️

This Moment
Just to be in this moment,
to break away from the past
to have your dreams come true,
and pray that they will last.
Just to live in the present,
for we know that it’s a gift
to treasure this very moment,
for we know it’s heaven sent.
To release the painful memories
to no longer feel the sorrow,
for though we’re here this moment
no one is promised tomorrow.

Have Faith
Throughout our lives each and everyone of us
will approach obstacles, challenges,
pressures and fears
We must be willing to stand up for ourself,
fight for ones dignity, stand tall when you feel belittled
Don’t allow another to take away your self worth
Set goals and follow through with them
tell yourself you are capable
You can and you will
face your troubles
for we all share the same
We all experience painful issues
We all must see through them
one way or another and we can.
Wake up each morning & tell yourself
that today will be a good day
do something for you,
give a compliment to someone,
Simply look in the mirror & say to yourself
“I am who I am, I’m just as important as the next person, I love ME.”
Have faith, because YOU are just as important.
