I am truly gutted to learn of Staci's passing. We were classmates several times at Ohio University during the 1980s. I will miss you Staci. Lost touch after she graduated. Glad I always made you laugh all the time.....that was how you always described me.....Staci.

I got to know Staci when we worked on "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" with WCT. She was spunky, she was dedicated and I always was envious of her beautiful singing voice. My prayers are with you. God Bless you, Snoopy!

I met Staci when she worked here in Ashtabula at LARC. She was such a positive lovely and warm person! She touched many childrens lives thru her drug and alcohol prevention work. I remember when she coordinated skits for the kids and they went on ' tour' singing and dancing their message of a drug free lifestyle. She was instrumental in helping me to get over my own issues with stage fright, and get back on the stage singing with the Good Life singers here at the art center. She was and is a gem that will be sorely missed.

My only regret is that I didnt stay in touch with her. We did run into each other at conferences and it was like we had seen each other yesterday, she just had that way about her that made you feel comfortable.

To her family and loved ones: Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. Smile and laugh when you think of her. That would make her happy I think.

Staci was the first person to greet me when I came to work for CLEX at OSU. You could always depend on her to be here and to lend a helping hand. I am in shock and disbelief that she is gone. My heart goes out to Staci's loved ones. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

To Staci's family and Dan,
I am so sorry for your loss. Staci was an incredible person and I feel so lucky to have known her. Although her time with us was much too short, she had a positive impact on everyone she came in contact with and for that we are so blessed. You are in my prayers during this difficult time.
Sincerely, Barb
