Stacey and I became friends as kids and then later we lived together while trying to figure out how to be adults…we weren’t very good at it but had a lot of fun! We both moved away and did some growing up, then reconnected as women with husbands and children. I will always cherish the great memories we made together!

I’m so very sorry for Jason and her kids.

So very saddened to hear of the loss of Stacey. She was such a kind, warm hearted person. She always greeted me with her infectious smile and a warm hug when I’d come in to pick up breakfast or lunch from next door.

This world was better for having her in it. She was loved & will be missed greatly.

Les, Judy, family and friends of Stacey

I’m praying for all of you to get through this very difficult time that most of us have had to face in this world full of troubles. We all try to reach out to one another during these times with comforting words, but we still continue going through life missing our loved ones who have gone on before us. We can’t change what has happened so we just have to learn to live with it. The greatest comfort I find at anytime of the day or night is knowing I have a Savior who loves me and cares when I’m hurting, as I lost my precious mother 4 years ago, a mother who shared Jesus love with everyone she could. All the love and care that Stacey had for others is what my mother shared with me all of my life. Here is a comforting verse …..Casting all your care upon him for he careth for you.

Les, Judy and Family,

So sorry to hear of this news.

I remember Stacey from Judy’s Restaurant back in the time frame of Nancy being the cook during the day and Danny (who loved Pat Benatar’s music) was the weekend night cook which I worked as a waitress. The Thompson Boys (Rodney, Randy and Robby) all worked as dishwashers. Cheryl Campbell was also a daytime waitress there and she was married to Ed. Oh those were the days And Stacey would come in sometimes on the night shift and we would talk and we became friends but as life goes time can separate friends as it did with us. Stacey was truly a very caring person and her smile would light up a room. Dance in the Heavens Stacey and Shine Your Bright Light and know that you were loved by those lucky enough to call you their friend.
