STACEY DARCELL REYNOLDS

Every tree planted in her name is another breath for Stacey.

Dear Stacey, you are forever in our hearts. You inspired so many people with your kindness, sparkling smile and gentle knowing. We are creating a living sculpture with plants and apple trees in our Simple Balance Community Healing Garden in your honor. With unending love from all of your Simple Balance family. You will always be our special angel and guide.

To Tom, Aleks, Kassia & Koby,

I hope you know how many people Stacy touched with her kindness, creativity, and spirit. It was a pleasure to work with her at pre-school, and just know her as a friend. She put her heart into everything she did. I was always so impressed by her calm demeanor, her positive attitude, her dedication to martial arts and your neighborhood. She inspired me to eat healthier after she shared some wonderful vegetables that she bought from an organic farm....

Stacey will be a lifelong source of inspiration for me.

I am deeply saddened by the news of this loss. I knew Stacey from our and our children's shared years at the Elgin Parent Co-op Preschool where she selflessly gave of her time and energy to the benefit of all. She was a dedicated and loving mother who led by example. Her presence among us will be missed. My thoughts go out to her beautiful family and friends at this time. May you find solace in the knowledge that Stacey touched many lives in both big and small ways -- but always in...

Farewell, sweet Stacey. I will miss your grace and beauty, I will remember your glow.

And so.... the kingdom of heaven is now made even more beautiful. This is a woman whom I've not had the pleasure to meet but who cultivated her garden so fully. Many people do much less in half the time here on Earth. God Bless all of you who knew and loved her.
