To Stacie's parents and family: Stacie and I worked together in Cash Control at Magic Mountain where her joy for life, her friendliness and intelligence blessed the entire staff and me. I learned a lot from this vibrant young woman who had a positive impact everywhere she worked at Magic Mountain. Both my wife and I were blessed by knowing Stacie, and our hearts go out to those around her.

So sorry to hear about Stacie. She was a great person and I know how close you were as a family. I've been her neighbor for years and even worked with her on a few Production jobs over the years. Her love of her family and animals (Patty in particular) is what I will remember most about her. The world has lost her far too soon. May you find peace and strength at this difficult time. My heart is breaking for your loss and we will remember you in our prayers. Dea and Guy Brawley (from Pacific View Drive)

My condolences to Stacie's family, and to her friends.

Stacie was a kind and gentle soul.
She was my supervisor at Magic Mountain and was the greatest boss I have ever had.
Out of the blue she became a cheerleader during a serious change in my life.

She was a good soul and will be missed more than words can say.

Stacie, you left this world in a better place just by being you.
Well done!
