Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Black bird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
all your life
you were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Just was thinking about you the other day as I came across some old letters and things we exchanged over the years when we were younger. You were such an amazing person, and definitely touched my life when we talked. Just saddens me to here that you no longer are here, but sure you're looking down upon your loved ones, family, and friends. It is evident through this guest book that you touched so many Stacy during your life, including mine. Thank you for always having been there when I needed you. You'll never be forgotten.

It's been 7 years since I saw you smile, heard you laugh and gave your hair a tug. It's been 7 years since you were here with me teasing me about something. It's been 7 years Stacy and I still can't believe you're gone. Some days it seems like you were just here and other days it seems like it was forever ago. But one thing is constant Baby Doll, you are never far from my thoughts. I miss you Stacy'Cole.
Love always & forever,

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I'm also sorry that this is the first time I've heard of your passing. I was looking in Tabitha's pictures when I came across one she posted of Stacey. I went to school with her for a few years when we were kids. Hung out with her a bit when she was with Tabitha as well. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Hi Stacy
Hard to believe it was 6 years ago that you left us. It was the Monday before Thanksgiving, just like today. It was the worst day I think I will ever endure. It still feels, even after 6 years, like it was just yesterday. I may not be able to see you and carry on a conversation, but I know you are with me every day. I love you and miss you more than I can put into words. Keep watching over all of us. Love you Stacy 'Cole

Hi there Stacy,
Your birthday was just the other day! I have been thinking a lot about you and gram and miss you all so very much! I am sure you had a great birthday up in heaven with gram and grandpa playing pennies! We all love and miss you so much! I just wanted to say a big thank you to you and grandma...I had been praying to you all to help me get over this anxiety and depression and I feel I am finally starting to. I feel it has a lot to do with you two and God! Thank you for watching over our family and know that you will always be in our hearts! Until we see eachother again!

Stacy,
Crazy... I went to bed yesterday to take a nap and woke up out of my sleep because I had dreamt of you. Tabitha called me years ago to tell me about your accident. I looked it up and printed out everything and put it in my high school yearbook. I think about you on occasions. Considering we were really young the last time we hung out. And for some reason yesterday I dreamt of you. It was the craziest thing. We were both like 7 years old again. Sitting in your moms kitchen in the yellow house... eating cream of wheat and peanut butter toast like we always did before school. I don't know what made me dream about this or anything but your on my mind these last two days. I wanted to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. I don't know how to contact your family. But I am thinking of you. And I wanted you to know that you touched my life and youll never ever be forgotten.

Happy Thanksgiving Stace
We all missed you today. You were on everyone's mind today. It seems like yesterday that we had to say goodbye to you way too soon. Your little brother has turned into quite the young man. It's hard to believe that he is graduating already. Kris keeps tabs on him for you. A day does not go by that something doesn't remind me of you. Keep looking over all of us.
Love forever, Aunt Sue

Hi Stace
I can't believe it's been 3 years since you left us. It seems like just yesterday that we were talking about something, laughing and carrying on. It's Thanksgiving Day and I spent the whole day thinking about you. I miss you more than anyone could understand. You still make me smile and chuckle when I think of you. Jennifer starts at Comcast on Monday, small world, don't you agree? Well, just wanted you to know that you are always in my thoughts, and still making me smile. Have fun and smile a lot. Love you always Baby Doll.

Happy Birthday Baby Doll!!!
It's so hard to believe that you would have been 23 today. It seems like just yesterday you were my little "gril" playing school in the garage with Annie. Not a day goes by that you aren't in my thoughts, but I always end up with a smile as I recall something you said or did. Mom and I recalled the night you were born and how you changed our lives. You made me grow up, but I still got to act like a kid with you. We had so much fun over the years and the fun doubled when Mark, Jr. came along. There's a hole in our lives and in the lives of everyone you touched. But we'll always have the wonderful memories that you left with us. Tell everyone I said hello and keep your eye on us, we need it!!! I love you higher than you can count.

Hi Baby Doll
I've been trying for a couple of months to write something here, but it's just been too difficult. Too many memories that make me sad in the end. Mom and I talk about you a lot. What you would think about stuff, what you would say. We laugh because we can just hear you going on and on about something. Mom found a Kenny Chesny song on Mark's ipod called "Who You'd Be Today", I think it's about you, it's so perfect, yet so sad. We miss you more and more every holiday, but we somehow get through them. I'll try to do a better job of writing from now on. As you know, my office is near the cemetery so I will stop by often. I love you Stacy 'Cole.

Hey sis,
Well....I guess I'm all grown up now. Sis, I graduated from college like a little less than a month ago and I've got a full-time job back in Louisville. It's just so nuts...I'm totally done with school. I never thought the day would come where I actually have to go into the real world, but the day is here.
I'm writing this because I keep seeing people that remind me of you. I'm working downtown and when I grab lunch, I see people that look like you all the time. The other day I was watching the news and I would have sworn this was you...I did a double take! I ended up watching this news story about running or something, just because I thought the girl was you!
Just wanted you to know that I still think about you all the time...I guess it just hits home more around all the memorable moments. Like my grandfather died just recently, I wasn't feeling too good because I honestly thought that he was going to be the first person really close to me to pass away. His passing really reminded me of you, but it also brought out the memories of you and your grandfather.
I miss you sis, and I can't wait to see you again. Keep looking over all of us.

Hi Baby Doll
Happy Birthday.....a little late. Sorry about that, but I was out of town on business. This week I have to go to Pittsburgh. But I think I'll like my new job. I thought about you all day Wednesday. 22, it's so hard to believe that you would have been that old. Your're still a huge part of all of our lives. In our thoughts every day. I miss you so much that I can't even describe how I feel. It hurts so bad some days that I'm not sure how I'll get through the day. I love you Baby Doll. Just remember, have fun and smile a lot.

You would have been 22 today.I miss you so much. I think of you everyday. I have your last picture you took on the shelve right behind my computer desk so you are smiling at me everyday. The sun is shining down on us today and I know you are behind that.

Merry Christmas Stacy 'Cole Cox
Thought about you all day today. Christmas isn't the same without your smiling face. You and Mark are the two best presents I ever received. We sure missed your Christmas spirit this year. Mom finally decorated Friday night. No real tree this year. New rules prohibited it, so we have to get out of here before next Christmas. After all, we have tradition to think about. Your Uncle Jerry ran into Jennifer last week. He kept looking at her and knew he knew her from somewhere. She recognized him too!!! Small world. Well, I better close for now.
Merry Christmas to you and to everyone who reads this. I love you higher than I can count Baby Doll.

Stacy- Can you believe it's been one year since you've been gone? I can hardly believe it. I can just see you smiling and laughing up there in heaven. How is it? Is it as beautiful as it is portrayed to be down here in earth? Man, you have missed so much. Paris was finally born last December. She is beautiful. You would just love her and I know she would enjoy your company. Too bad she can't realize what a great second cousin you were going to be, huh? Oh, and Sarah finally got married. I wasn't able to go to her wedding because I was at cheerleading camp. I heard you were looking forward to it. You would have just looked so gorgeous in those bridesmaid dresses that Sarah picked out. I can only imagine. Oh, and my highschool cheerleading squad placed 2nd and 4th at regionals and state. Are you proud of me? I also started high school. It was a big change from middle school. I like it alot more though. I feel like I have more freedom and I don't try to impress alot of people anymore. I guess that explains why I don't have as many friends as I use to. I have missed you so much. You probably get so bored with me at night when I talk to you. I can just hear you telling me to shut up. (lol) Guess what! Your mom finally got a good paying job a few days ago. You probably already know that though, because I know you had to play some part in her getting that job. Stacy, I miss you. I would give anything for you to come back. Do you ever think about me? I think Markie is doing fine. He's busy hanging out with Kari most of the time. I think she's a good influence on him. You would be very proud. I sometimes catch Aunt Sue crying in the bathroom and I think it's because of you. She misses you. I can tell. We have pictures of you everywhere in our house. There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about you. We just celebrated Halloween a couple weeks ago. That's when I remembered you dressed up as an old lady who had huge boobs a few years ago. (haha) That was hilarious! And you dressed me up as a cat and did my make-up that night. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. I just got an account on MYSPACE. Markie showed me your webpage. Your picture is absolutely beautiful. I glanced at some of your quizzes you took also and found some interesting things. One of the quizzes asked what your most of afraid of and you anwsered, "Getting into a car accident and dying." I almost dropped to my knees when I read that. Your friends still write you messages in there, too. They talk about themselves finally turning 21 and going out to the bars. They talk about how their meeting new guys, and wanting your opinion on them. Do you read them? Thanksgiving was four days ago. Were you there with us? It was weird once again, without seeing your face. Atleast our family will always be there with us, right? We have really came together since your accident. You wouldn't believe how lovey dovey we are now. You would probably laugh, and wet yourself. (haha) I haven't been having such a good experience with life lately. Boys and use-to-be friends are really getting to me. You would probably tell me to knock those stuck-up girls out, and get over it, but it's really not that easy. I need you right now. I need your guidance, I need your comfort. Will you be there for me? A couple months ago I was in my room listening to "Broken" by Evanasence. All of a sudden, the volume knob started turning up and down by itself and your picture came to mind. Was that you sending me a sign? I think it was. Or maybe I'm just going crazy, wishing you were here with us again. I'm in Career Planning right now in school and I'm getting really interested in fashion design. I know that's what you wanted to do when you were in college. I just wonder if I will ever be as good as you probably were. Awhile ago, your mom gave me one of your bracelets with an "S" on it and most of your make-up. I love the color of lipstick you used. I use it probably everyday. Kinda makes me feel like I'm closer to you. Weird, right? Yeah, your probably laughing and making fun of me right now. (haha) Oh, and guess what! I started going to Jenelle to get my hair cut just like you did. She's really nice. She reminds me of you, too. Everything reminds me of you. There's this song by Kenny Chesney called, "Who You'd Be Today." It relates alot to how I feel about you. That song also reminds me of a classmate that I recently lost in September. His name was Evan Powers. He was the type of kid who was always smiling, and never hurt anyone's feelings. Alot like you. He died from helping his grandfather with a roof and fell off and hit his head. The day we found out about his death, I was in school with everyone else and we just all broken down and cried the whole day. It was horrible. I have never seen so many people cry all at once. Were you there beside me, holding my hand and helping me out of grief? Would you give Evan and Grandma Jo a big hug for me? By the way, how's Grandma Jo? I miss her, too. I can only imagine what kind of fun you two are having upstairs. (haha) I can't wait for the day I can join in on your party and see you all once more. We went up to Lake Gage again this summer. It was awesome. Really nice and hot out. We didn't get to go tubing though, because Bev wouldn't let Jeff take us. But you already know how that goes, right?! Oh, and your probably just dying to know how my love life is going. Well, I'm single but I was fortuante enough to meet a really amazing guy who I call my best friend. His name is Cameron. He's kinda shy, but you would probably like him. He's even cute, too! (hehe) I know how you are with those cute guys, you know! And Erica and Adam; they got divorced. Erica deserves much better though. I hope you watch over her and comfort her when things get too tough for her. I try to be there for her as much as I can. I hope it's enough for her, though. I have been doing really good in school. Getting all A's and B's. It's an awesome feeling when all that hard work pays off. And next fall, I'll be able to drive! YAY! But don't worry, I promise I will be super cautious. This entry is pretty long, isn't it? Your probably about just ready to fall asleep. Well to keep from boring you, I hope your having fun up there. Stacy, I miss you, and would love to see your face once more. Sometimes it gets so bad down here, that I cry myself to sleep and wish I was with you once again. I still haven't figured out God's intentions on why he took you away. Do you know why he took you so soon? If I could have anything for Christmas, it would be for you to come back home. I hope your proud of me down here and the whole family. We all miss you so much. I love you more than words can tell, and feelings can show. There is never a day that passes by that I don't think of you. You will always be in my heart, and I never want you to forget me. I love you from the bottom of my heart and I promise you that I will take care of the family down here. Please don't worry about your mom and brother. I will take very good care of them. You have my word. I love you Stace ...

Hi Sweetheart
Happy Thanksgiving, give a hug and kiss to your Grandmas and Grandpas for me. You're all probably having such a great time together. It's so hard to think that you've been gone for an entire year. I talk to you, but it's just not the same. The pain of it all has not subsided. It has changed my life so much, I keep thinking of all the great memories we have and miss you all the more. I pray that one day the memories will console me. You are the first thing I think about when I wake up and the last thing at night. You are now resting in peace with your Grandma and Grandpa. I know you are in good hands and truly at peace, I try to keep that in mind. And I hope that God is saving me a special place with you in heaven. I know that He knows how much I need him and how confused I am. And I know it's going to take some time. I pray for strength and hope every day. I thank God for you and Mark every day also. Your Dad and I are so proud of both of you. You are both such loving, caring and awesome kids. It's difficult to get into the holiday season, you are missed by all who love you.
Everything I do reminds me of you. When I hear a Beatles song, or our favorite Bonnie Raitt song that we used to sing together in the car. It breaks my heart when I'm out shopping and I see mothers with their daughters. I always felt so proud and special with you by my side.
I miss your goofiness, your sparkling eyes and smile, and especially your laugh. You could always make Dad, Mark and me laugh. And I miss your one dimple. Your Dad and I always told you we'd have to go to the store and get you another one! Your new cousin Paris has a matching dimple, so I guess she got the other one. You would love her, she melts your heart.
I stole this, but it fits: You're the star of my life story, who loved everyday, love you with all my heart.

I can hardly believe it's been a year since you left us. Life goes on but it's so different without you. I miss that special smile that was always on you face. So many things remind me of you on a daily basis. I know you are up there watching over everyone. Your dad is teaching Mark to drive so make sure you are keeping a keen eye on them. Happy Thanksgiving and we will say a prayer for you.
Love you very much.

Hi Baby Doll
I've been thinking of you a lot lately. I still can't believe you're gone. It seems like just yesterday we were talking about something or other and having a good laugh. You would have had so much fun at Sarah's wedding reception. Mark even got up and danced!!! Only the slow ones though. We went to Tracey's wedding and reception too. It was great to see her and Savannah again. I guess they live out by Zanesville now, they have a Markle address like your Aunt Sue. Chad and Wanda's wedding was nice too. A lot of Wanda's family came from Baltimore for it. Kari went with us. You would have been disappointed...no road trip since they got married in Angola!!!
It's hard to believe that a year has passed since you left us. I've spent it asking God how He could take you from us, all of us. I've denied His existence, cursed Him, blamed Him, pretty much every emotion. But I've also prayed that He is taking good care of you. I know that one day we will be together again. Take care my baby "gril".
Just to let everyone know, Stacy's final resting place is at the Catholic Cemetery on Lake Avenue. She's easy to find, just stop at the office and they will give you a map and direct you. For those who know the Cemetery well, she is just to the right of the arm of the cross that is formed by the hedge. Hope to see you there someday.

Hi Stace
Today was Chad and Wanda's wedding day. I know how much you were looking forward to it. We all missed you very much. Wanda looked beautiful in the dress we all helped pick out. Get togethers are just not the same without you. Not a day goes by that something doesn't remind me of you. I always think Stace would have loved that. Always remember how much I love you and I will see you again one day.
Love Aunt Sue

Stacy
It's been awhile since I have wrote on this. At my house we all just did a shot for you,, Adam said not a day goes by that he doesn't think about you and could remember every place you guys went for lunch. You know what is wierd is that I haven't cried in about 6 months about my best friends past, but my mom and Jake said something that made me think and it was that we are past that crying stage because we know you are there in heaven and we know you are smiling down on us and if you were here you would be making us all laugh or laughing all the time at something someone said, always laughing that is how I will remember you forever in my heart and in my soul. It's good to know that I have a guardian angel with me by side at all times. We had your mom over for a karoke party a few weeks ago and we had the time of our lives and we all know you were there singing some Beatles with my dad,, just like you used to always do. I love you Stacy, more than I have ever loved a friend, God Bless
Love Your Little Marklar

Stacy, I did not know you personaly and had never heard your name until that fateful day that you left this world. I am the Police officer that investigated your accident.I had to go and tell your Mother the bad news. That is one of the hardest things that Policemen have to do.I have read all the wonderful comments in this guestbook and I can feel the love that is given to you by all these people.I wish I could have known you instead of having to be involved in this tragedy. I pray that you are with the Good Lord and have no more pain. I keep thinking of the song that Michael Jackson sang for Ryan White. It was called "Gone to Soon" I hope I can see you someday in Glory!
June 13, 2005
Stacy, you don't know how much you meant to me. You were such an amazing person and this never should have happened to you. I miss all the times we've had together.
I just hope you know how much I really did love you.

I still think about you every day. You have not and will not be forgotten. You will be in our hearts forever.

Stac,
I attempted to put 2 entries in before this one. The last two were not appropiate I guess. It sounds kinda wierd but it feels like this guest book is a way of talking to you, I put things on here like I am e-mailing you and telling you these things. I went to visit your parents on Sunday, being in your house without you there was wierd, it was like you were gonna come home from work soon or wherever, wierd huh? I went to the Cubs game a few weeks back, I stood 30 feet away from Nomar Garciaparra and yelled his name and he turned around, at that moment the only thing I could think was man I wish Stacy was here we would have been ecstatic together. My grandmother past away last week and your parent came to the funeral, that was greatly appreciated and I knew it had to be hard for them. I keep forgetting that you're gone when I go to your house I get to tell your parents all the crazy stories that happen between all of our friends, I forget that they already know just how crazy we all really are. Finals week is this week,can't wait for summer break, we're going camping this summer, my crazy family and Jake&Toodie and some other people,, man we all wish you could be there. I have to admit I have a cross that Mitch made me at the Fire Station after your accident and I have been kinda selfish and kind of a coward because I haven't had enough courage to put it up. I talked to Mitch yesterday and told him to get me some stakes to put it into the ground, I hope it is strong and wont fall over, so it will remind everybody who drives by about you, everybody signed it, it looks really nice, I hope to get that out this weekend. Well I gotta go wish me luck on my finals, I need it bad!
I love you Stacy and the rest of the Cox Family,
Love Jennifer

Hey Stace-
I was listening to the radio Tuesday (on your birthday), and a song came on that brought back a random memory I have of us. It was when we were a lot younger, and you were spending the night at my house. We were sitting on my bedroom floor looking through my old yearbooks. This same song came on the radio and we were singing along to it with our imaginary microphones. It reminds me of you even more now:
If you get there before I do
Don't give up on me
I'll meet you when my chores are through
I don't know how long I'll be
But I'm not gonna let you down
Darlin' wait and see
Because between now and then
Until I see you again
I'll be loving you
Love, Me
I have so many awesome memories of you, Stace. We all do, so you'll never really be gone. And someday we will all be together again.
Thinking of you always,
Sarah

Happy Birthday, Stacy! A few days ago, my friend brought this one quote to school and it made me think of you and all that you wish to tell your family down here.
"When tommorow starts without me, and I'm not there to see, If the sun should rise and find your eyes, all filled with tears for me, I wish so much you wouldn't cry, the way you did today, while thinking of the many things we didn't get to say. I know how much you love me, as much as I love you. And each time that you think of me, I know you'll miss me too. But when tommorow starts without me, please try to understand, that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand. She said my place was ready, in heaven far above, and that I'd have to leave behind, all those I dearly loved. But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all my life I'd always thought, I didn't want to die. I had so much to live for, so much left yet to do, it seemed so impossible, that I would be leaving you, I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday, just even for awhile, I'd say goodbye and kiss you, and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized that this could never be, for emptiness and memories would take the place of me, and when I thought of worldy things I might miss come tommorow, I thought of you and when I did, my heart was filled with sorrow, but when I walked through the heavens gates, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, from his great golden throne, he said 'This is eternity and all I've promised you, today you life on earth has past, but here it starts a new, I promise no tommorow, but today will always last, and since each day is the same day, there's no longing for the past.' You have been so faithful, so trusting and so loved, though there were times you did some things, you know you shouldn't do, but you have been forgiven and now atleast you're free, so won't you come back and take my hand, and share your life with me? So when tommorow starts without me, don't think we're far apart, for each time that you think of me, I'm right here in your heart.

Happy Birthday Stace
This would have been an incredible day for you. I remember all the birthdays at Bandio's and all the Boyds bears I got for you over the years. There isn't a day that goes by that something doesn't remind me of you. I find myself laughing out loud about some of the conversations we've had over the years.I miss you so much. Iv'e had some wonderful conversations with your Dad about you. I will love and miss you the rest of my life.

Happy Birthday Baby Doll,
You were so looking forward to this birthday.....your 21st. It was to be a special day. You wanted us all to take you to Club Soda to celebrate. Your plan had been the same for a couple of years now.
We would have had so much fun, you surrounded by your cousins, your aunts and anybody else who wanted to come. It seems like just yesterday that you were that little girl in the jelly shoes carrying Floppy everywhere you went. You had grown into a special young lady, yet you missed being a little girl at times. Independent, yet still happy to be Mom and Dad's little girl. We miss you so much. You are in our thoughts constantly. We laugh about something you did or said, we cry when we think about how you left us way too soon. I sit and wonder what you would be doing at a given moment, where you would be, who you might be with or what we might be talking about, all the time. I miss our IU basketball talks, we would have had so many this year, just like last year. I know that Mark misses you a lot. You two had become such buddies (see, I told you, you would). We don't get to hear your incredible giggle or see your beautiful smile anymore, but we feel them every day. We love you Stacy.

You have been on my mind so much.
I have been keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
Stacy is in my thoughts daily.
I am proud to have been able to share special times with Stacy. I have so many good memories that I will keep in my heart always.
As you know she touched many lives.
Thank-you for the card that you sent to me and my family, it meant so much!!!
With spring here it makes me think of Stacy, she loved the warm weather and the sun. Everytime I see a pair of flipflops I think of her.
Love, Sue

Stacy,
Today I had highschool cheerleading try-outs. I was so nervous, I can't even start to explain the butterflies that were going crazy in my stomach. Before I went out to do my cheer, I stretched and prayed to God that you and Gram would watch over me and by goly, you sure did! I went out there, strutting my stuff, and showing off as much as I possibly could just for YOU! To this day, I miss you so very much and want to thank you for listening to my prayers everynight before I go to sleep because I know your right there beside me. I love you with my whole heart, and I hope you haven't forgot about me or anyone of us down here. Continue having fun up there in heaven, baby-girl!

Stacy,
I only met you once. You were an amazing person. I started to put together a website of memories of you, and haven't gotten the chance to go back to it. But as I was scrolling through the pictures of your yahoo site and the ones your brother gave me, I though, what an amazing girl. Not in one picture were you frowning or looked upset. Always had a smile on your face. It's hard to believe you're gone, but we all miss you so much, and we're here for your brother Mark and your family. R.I.P. Stacy Nicole Cox

Stace,
Three months have passed and it all feels like yesterday. I miss you so much. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. Not a day that I don't wish I could call you, have lunch, go shopping or just share a laugh with you. Nothing is ever going to be the same. I try so very hard to remember that there was another plan for you and God needed you but I have to honestly say that those things don't take away one ounce of the pain. I know that you are in a better place and are with us everyday in spirit but I miss you more than anyone will ever know. I love you.

Stace, I should have written this a few days ago, but I just couldn't make myself do it. I found my ticket stub from Shrek 2 the other day and I just smiled. It was the last time I spent with you. I'm so glad we made the time to get together over my break. I know now how much I would have regretted not doing that. Even though we didn't get to talk too much because we went to a movie. I miss you so much, Stacy. I don't have too many reasons to go home anymore. I always looked forward to the time we spent together and now I don't talk to anyone else from high school. I still can't believe you're gone. I know that God has a reason for everything, but I just cannot understand this one. Thank you so much for the memories and your amazing friendship. I love you and miss you so much.

It has been almost two months now and not a day goes by that I don't think about you. I have had some pretty crazy dreams about you the past couple nights. I wake up every time expecting to see you right there, telling a joke. Although you aren't there, you will always be with me in my heart. I miss you soooo much and hope that one day I will get the privledge to see you again in heaven, for I know thats where you are. Love always your #1 Marklar. Adam

Racy Stacy,
Let me tell you New year's and Christmas was not the same without you. Carly was telling me of a poem that her aunt gave her and it was called my first Christmas in heaven, it reminded me of you soo bad. Not a day passes without me thinking about you. Sometimes I still catch myself crying or wanting to call you and tell you all the crazy stuff that happened at my house on a Friday night, cause it still hasn't hit me. Remember how me and you used to always think of all the party themes? Last year it was the toga party, and then we thought of a lua, nobody liked that idea though, but we had a lua in your memory, and everybody here (believe me it was a lot of people) took a toast for our little marklar Stacy.We all knew that you were there blessing us with your presence. I called your house on Christmas to wish your family a Merry Christmas, and they had your voice on their answering machine, and it's like I can't get your voice out of my head, or your laugh, or your smile, and most of all, all the crazy memories we shared together. I love you Stacy. God Bless you. Love your little Marklar, Jennifer

Stacy- We celebrated Christmas two days ago. Let's just say it wasn't the same without you. When we were all sitting down in the kitchen eating our food, I could suddenly feel your presence at the table and I knew you were sitting right with us family. It was sorta a comforting feeling- a feeling that let me know that you were okay. I finally got that cell phone I wanted for Christmas. Your cell phone number is in my contacts and I always call it to hear your voice. I miss you very much, Stacy. I would give anything for you to come back here and spend a day with the family. Sometimes when I'm bored, I sit around and think of the day that I may be gone unexpectedly and it scares me so much. It's like I can almost see all the pain and suffering the family and my friends would go through and I hate it. I'm so scared of dying and leaving everyone I love behind. Ever since the accident, I can't get death off of my mind and it frightens me. It's almost like a sign that something is going to happen to me and I hate it! You should see your little cousin, Paris. She is so adorable and you would think she is a bundle of joy. Too bad she won't ever get to meet someone so loving and thoughtful as you were. When she gets older though, I'll make sure I will explain to her what a wonderful person you are and how much you touched so many other's lives. I hope your doing well up in heaven. I have been holding up well lately and I have been praying for you everynight. Hopefully you have recieved my prayers and are about ready to anwser them. I love you Stacy, and I hope you had a very MERRY CHRISTMAS up in heaven. Please continue to keep all of us strong and have faith. I love you.

Merry Christmas Stace
It's your favorite time of the year. You would have been so excited this year it snowed a whole bunch. We all missed you x-mas eve. Your dad forgot to wear that goofy hat that we all made fun of. They have such sad eyes this year. I hope we all can make it a little better for them in 2005. The hurt will never go away but maybe it will become a little easier to talk about you and remember the fun times. Mark and Cindy I want to thank you for always sharing Stacy and Mark with me. They always seemed like my kids too. You have raised such loving and caring kids it's no wonder God called Stacy home so early. Stacy you watch over them and Mark and I will do the same down here.
Love now and always

Hi Everyone
Just a note to let you all know that the Guest Book is now sponsored and will remain online permanently. So, please feel free to come back often and read the entries, but more importantly, write as often as you like. If you remember a story about Stacy or just want to leave a message for her, please put it here.
One of my memories, one that happened all the time, would be Stace telling us a story, it could be from school or a party or a trip to IU or just about anything. Usually it involved something or someone that was funny. But she would giggle and her face would just light up the room as she told us, then she would say, "I've gotta call Jennifer and tell her." And within seconds Stacy's cell phone would ring and it would be Jennifer!!! You two were always on the same wavelength, it just always amazed me. Thanks Jennifer for being there when Stace needed you. You'll always be in our thoughts.
To my Baby Doll.....Merry Christmas, we miss you so much. Watch over us all and keep everybody laughing, I can still hear your giggle and see the sparkle in your eyes. I love you always and forever.
Dad

Stacy and family~
I never thought in a million years that I would be writing this to Stacy. The one who always made the best of situations and could put a smile on the face of anyone. Though we were not the best of friends I always considered her one of the lucky stars put on earth for everone. Her constant jokes will always be remembered. Thank you for the chance of a lifetime to meet such a wonderful person. To her family thank you for letting us share such a special being and my thoughts and prayers are with you during this holiday season and after.

To Stace:
It has been weeks since the accident, and it doesn’t seem like the pain is ever going to go away. It took me this long to even get the courage to write this and read what all the others had to say. It gets harder every day to believe that you’re gone. You have touched so many lives and made so many memories. There are so many people that love you and miss you. I keep thinking of things that I want to tell you, and for a split second I forget that you aren’t there. My favorite memory of you is when you used to call me every night and we would watch David Letterman together. Now I can’t even watch it knowing that you are gone. We had so many great memories. I was always so excited about the day that you came up to Lake Gage while we were there. We always had such a blast. And we had so much fun together as kids. We did so much. It was fun looking through all the pictures of us as kids and remembering everything that we did together. There were hardly any pictures that didn’t have all three of us: you, me, and Alicia. My favorite picture is the one where you and I are standing in front of the shed in my back yard with dandelions hanging out of our mouths. I don’t know why you had to leave us, but it is going to be very hard to go on without you. You were always the one that made us all smile and laugh at the family gatherings. This is going to be the hardest Christmas I have ever had. I almost got in an accident the very same morning at about the same time as yours on my way to school that Monday. I had to quickly hit the brakes on a wet part of the road on Washington Center, and my car swerved out of control. I don’t know why God took you instead of me. At times like these, life doesn’t seem fair. It is hard to remember that God knows what is best for us at all times, and he must have some reason for taking you away. I know you are better off now, but it is so hard for everyone that was close to you to go one knowing that we can’t see you for a while. I cannot wait until the day I can see you again. I love you and miss you with all of my heart.
Your cousin,
Sarah

Stacy, you will be missed by many. Not a day goes by where I don't think about you in some way, shape or form. I remember when we went to the bookstore and I saw the sushi kit and made a comment about wanting to buy it, but I never did. About a week later you gave it to me just because you were thinking about me. That was one of the kindest things anyone has ever done for me. I think back to all of the fun times we had together, you truely made me happy. When I was sad, you knew how to cheer me up. When I was lonely, you were there for me. You always made me smile, laugh, and be thankful for you. You were a one-of-a-kind. Always brightening up the room you were in. I have so many memories of you that I will forever cherish. The world will not be the same without you. You were a true friend to everyone, and I will NEVER forget you. Thank you for sharing your life with me, I will always appriciate it.
Love always,
Justin

Stacy,
I will always love you and have a special place for you in my heart. It will be hard without you at our family gatherings. I remember when me, you, and Sarah would always dress up together like models when we were younger. That was so much fun! You always made me laugh and make the best out of every situation I got myself into. Your the one I told everything to. You were just like a sister to me. I love you very very much and remember, we'll all take care of your mom, dad, and brother, I promise you! We will all miss you very much! Tell gram and grandpa we love them and give them a kiss for me. I love you dearly and always will.

Dear Stacy,
Over the years you and my sister became the best of friends, and you really became a part of our family. If we planned a family vacation, whether it be to Florida or Cedar Point, I took it for granted that you would be comming along with us. It was is if I had all of a sudden gained a second sister. You and my sister acted so much alike that people probably thought you were one of my sisters. You were so much fun to be around and no get-together at our house was complete without you. I will never forget all of the great times that you shared with our family and all of the wonderful laughs we had. I believe the funniest memory that I will always have of you is from this past halloween when you walked into our house dressed as an old woman and shouted to everybody, "WHAT UP!" From this day forth I will always look back and remember that moment and always crack a smile! You were so very special and I will miss you a lot.

Stacy,
I know were weren't close at all in high school, but i do remember middle school when we all had looney toon nicknames and yours was "Tweety." You could always make me laugh and that i will forever remember. I've got a little girl of my own now and she brightens up any room with her smile as i know you did. God is lucky to have an angel such as you. To Stacy's family, may God bless you in your time of need.
Sincerly, Victoria Rios

Mark, Cindy and Little Markie,
I am a former co-worker of Sue and Kris. I feel as if I knew your angel so well. She was so special and loved by her Aunt and cousin. They were so proud of her and loved her so deeply. Their lives and so many others are so blessed by having had her for the short time that she was here. Although my heart grieves for all of you, I know that God is so happy to have her home right now and will comfort your hearts. She has a special place in heaven. What a wonderful tribute to her life with the way that she was loved and how she touched so many lives. I hope that you will feel the love and prayers that so many are sending to you right now and always. God Bless you.

Our Dear Stacy,
I didn't get see you as often as I could have and I am very sad now that I didn't take more time to be in your life. But the beatiful girl I saw on Sat when all of us went shopping I will never understand why I guess this has really opened all of our eyes to we just never know what God's plan is for any of us. I promis to help take care of your Mom And Dad and little Mark. Stacy we all loved you very much. There will always be a empty spot in all of our hearts until we all meet again. The day of your showing let all of us know just how you were loved by so many friends and family. You were and are a very lucky girl. I know Mamer & Popy will take good care of you please give them a hug and kiss from all of us let them know how much we miss them just as you will be missed for ever but never for gotten. Love Aunt Sherry

stace...you have no idea how much you meant to me, i am so thankful that i saw you at Jenny's baby shower and got to hug you one last time. you are so strong and i am so proud you are my cousin. i felt honored when you had me do your makeup for the school dances, i just thought you looked soooo beautiful. i was so glad that you thought that much of me to have me do it. i remember thinking at jenny's shower how cute your giggle is, how proud i was of you, going to college, working, excelling in life....life is very hard and you never stopped bettering yourself. i cannot express what an impact you made on me, if i have a child, i hope she is half what you are...

From the home-made ribbon trees in girlscouts, teather ball, joking around in the halls of Wayne H.S., or the fact that you were one of the funniest people I have ever had the priviledge of knowing, I never will understand why this had to happen to you of all people. Thank you for always brightening my days along with those around you. I will love and miss you to pieces girl.

I, too, as Sue (Glasper) mentioned, noticed the picture and a resemblance; my heart dropped when I saw your name as Stacy's parent. I can imagine the sunny disposition Stacy had, by growing up around you. One can only imagine the loss of a child, let alone bear the pain and sadness you and your husband are going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Please know God has another angel in the palm of His hands. Take care, and God Bless...Ree

I will never forget you and your amazing ability to make everyone around you laugh. I love you and miss you!

My Stacy 'Cole Cox,
I still sit here in disbelief that this has happened. I think that I must be dreaming but each morning I awaken to that sick feeling in my stomach and realize that this is no dream. I think to myself how unfair it is that someone so special could be taken away from us so soon but there was obviously another plan for you. All I can do now is think about you and all the great times we've shared. I am so thankful for every moment I had with you, especially shopping last Saturday. We laughed so much that day and I continually think of things you said or did and I can't get the smile off my face. From the day you were born, I was instantly drawn to you and knew you would be something special. Your smiles and laughs were there from the beginning...I couldn't get enough of you...you were my little punkin'. Watching you grow over the years was difficult because it all went by so fast. It felt like I went to sleep one night and woke up at your high school graduation. Oh how proud I was of you. You had grown into this beautiful, intelligent, young woman right before my eyes. You were more than a cousin to me Stace, you were more like a sister. We shared both ups and downs, many laughs and great times together. I will never be the same without you but I also wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't for you being part of my life. You have touched so many lives in your short time on this earth and you have left a lasting mark on each and everyone of us. You will never be forgotten and I will make sure of that. I miss you so much and will think of you every single day. I know you will always be watching over us and sharing our laughter. I will see you again someday Stace and by then I hope to be half the woman you were.
I love you always and forever,
~Kris

Dear Cindy & Mark,
When Jackie called, Jack didn't even recognize her voice.
We just don't keep in touch.
There is an old snapshot of Cindy and Stacy, horsing around at PB's carnival, years ago. I haven't found it yet, but the image is vivid in my mind.
Our daughter is 27 and our son is almost 25 and they seem older than Jack and me!! (you can imagine why!)
Even though I attended the Mass, I couldn't bring myself to stay and visit.
Your grief is more than I can understand. My faith tells me that Stacy flew straight to heaven-just like in the movies!
My prayers will be with you-especially during the holidays.
Jesus was saving a spot for Stacy with the other children and they are singing the "blessing song".
What can we do to help you?
Maybe you'll still come back to PB once in a while. It always feels like home.

Stacy,
I can't tell you how many memories and great times we have had together. All those times that we had the time of our life are now all gone, yet I know you will still always be with us all, in our hearts and in our minds. There is so many funny memorable times that I talk about and I do not think there was one story that you weren't in making us all laugh and smile. You have helped me through a lot and I know you will continue to do so. I know you will be up in heaven screaming when IU can't shoot easy layups! Or when the Cubs trade Nomar Garciaparra! Through the good time and the bad times, through thick and thin no matter what we will always have each other and your blessing. I love you with all my heart. Your best friend ever and partner in crime. Jennifer Alt

To Stacy's family,
Stacy was truely a one-of-a-kind. She could make literally anyone smile or just crack up with laughter from the way she described something or how her facial expressions looked so goofy when she was caught off guard or heard something she wasnt expecting. She was an amazing friend. I knew from the day I met her, that she and I would be really close. It is still hard to believe that I will never get to see my Stacy again. She never said a hateful word to me or treated me poorly and she always had a smile on her face. I adored Stacy because of all of her outstanding qualities and her addictive personality. The one question you could always ask when it came to her was, "When are we going to hang out again?" and I know all of her friends know exactly what I am saying. There was never a dull moment with Stacy. But good times can't last forever, so I cherish the memories that I have of and with her. She was called to be where she belongs. After all, Angels can only stay on earth for so long...
With dearest regards,
Sue Glasper Snyder

I noticed Stacy's picture in the paper and she looked so familiar. Reading, I saw her mom's name and was amazed how strong the resemblance. I went to PB with Cindy, and though I haven't seen her since grade school, I remember her well.
Reading the letters, Stacy sounds like her mother, a sweet, kind person with a great laugh.
I am so sorry for your loss, words cannot express had sad I am for your family.
Our prayers and thougts are with you.

Stacy,
You were such an incredible person and friend. You made the best out of any situation and could always make me smile; your laugh was contagious. Your charismatic personality magnatically attracted people to you and made them want to stick around.
I felt like I could always talk to you about anything and relate to you in ways that I could not with the other people.
Even though you are gone from this earth, I know you are in heaven smiling down on all of us. I know you will share in the laughter and tears we all will experience in our days ahead.
I feel blessed to have known you, a kind-hearted and sweet young lady.
I will carry your memory with me where ever I go in life. I love you and miss you!

Stacy you will be forever remembered by us all. You touched us all with your smile, your laughter and your special beauty.
You were my daughter's best friend and like a sister to all my kids. We loved to have you over to sing- alongs and crazy toga and costume parties.
I wish I could have had a chance to tell you goodbye one last time.
Your mom wants us to remember you with a party in your honor. We will honor her requesst. You will always be in our hearts.
Watch over us from your perch in heaven as I know that you went to the pearly gates on an express train.
To your family: Please contact us with anything we can do to help you.

You were such an inspiration to all who met you, such a caring and radiant person. You always had a smile that just made everyone like you so much, you touched so many people in your short life. I have the memories of the times you spent with me and my family, I will hold them in my heart. It is a hard time for so many, you touched so many people, we have faith that you are up in heaven. Life is so precious, we all need to be prepared. We need to get our lives in order and be ready for that day. I am keeping your Dad, Mom & Mark & all of your family in my prayers. I am glad that I got to know you. You touched my life in a special way.

To my Cutest's family and friends:
Life was always a series of ups and downs for Stacy. Even at the worst times for her, she found what she needed to make it through and then looked forward to everything good she knew would be coming. She never let any one thing dictate her life. Her strength of will and so many other rarities made having her friendship beyond anything I could comprehend before having met her. With everything that made her who she was, the most noticeable thing was her love for her family and friends.
Her love for those of us who were lucky enough to be in her life went beyond words. You had know her to understand how warm and perfect she was towards everyone she cared about.
I've lost one of my best friends and we've all lost something special. Having known her though, we gained so much more. I'll never forget.

I never got the chance to talk to Stacy but her brother Mark talked about her all the time at school. He was so happy when she got him his first job at pizza hut.Her memory will live on with him.Remember that we all love you and that we are all here for you Mark.

Stacy - Words can't even express how much our family misses you right now. I can't imagine not seeing your smiling face or hearing your laugh ever again at our family parties. I wasn't as close to you as Sarah and Alicia were, but I can admit that I looked up to you alot. You were such a happy go-lucky girl that always had a smile on her face. You touched so many of our lives in ways that many people cannot. You left behind an amazing brother and mom but I promise you, we'll take good care of them and make sure there going to be okay. What makes me the most upset is how I never got that chance to tell you how much you meant to me and it kills me inside. I love you Stacy, and I hope your going to continue looking down on us and giving us strength. We need you now more than ever and we miss you dearly. Please give Gram a HUGE hug from us and tell her that we love her. Have fun up in heaven babe.

Stacy,
We may not have been able to spend much time together over the years, or even get to know eachother well. But I have always thought you were such a beautiful girl and those dimples have always made me melt!
That Saturday shopping trip was such a hoot! Now I know the value of a few short minutes alone with someone and how precious they are. We will all miss you very much and I am so glad we have you up there to keep an eye on us down here! You know we need it :)
Miss you Love you,
Matt, Jayma,Gage & Brice

To Stacy's Family,
We express our deepest sympathy at the loss of your beautiful daughter who was a wonderful young lady. Our hearts are truly broken. When Stacy visited our son there was always a smile on her face, and an infectious giggle when they were watching a movie, or just talking. Stacy was a very kind and thoughtful young person, taking time to stop by when my wife lost her sister unexpectedly. That touched us deeply and showed to us that she had a genuine caring for others. Stacy and our son eventually grew apart in the last year as they became busy with school and work, but we know that they remained friends. He was lucky to have a friend like her, and told us many times that she was the only one he could talk to when troubled. We feel our son grew up because of Stacy’s presence in his life. We will forever feel blessed that our family had the privilege to know your daughter as we did. She will be dearly missed. May God bless and comfort you in this time of sorrow, and give you peace.
The Reese Family

WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS THE DEEP SADNESS I FELT UPON LEARNING OF STACY'S DEATH. SHE WAS SUCH AN INSPIRATION TO ME AND HER CLASSMATES WHEN SHE WAS IN MY 4TH GRADE CLASS AT PLEASANT CENTER. I REMEMBER HAVING STACY OVER TO MY HOUSE THE SUMMER AFTER 4TH GRADE. WE WATCHED A MOVIE AND WENT TO ATZ'S FOR ICE CREAM. SHE WAS SUCH A DELIGHT TO BE WITH AND HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL TO DO GREAT THINGS IN THIS WORLD. MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH ALL OF YOU AT THIS TERRIBLE TIME.

I keep asking how He could of taken such a young, pretty, sweet girl full of so much potential...I guess we will never know God's reason for this. Stacey, we didn't see each other much but I'm so glad you came shopping w/us on Sat. Nov. 20, 2004 just 2 days before you went to heaven. I will remember that day and how many giggles we shared! You are a special cousin and will never be forgotten.
Love,
Tiffany

Friends and Family of Stacy,
Stacy is one of the best friends I have ever had and she will be missed greatly. I will never forget the stories, laughter, and all around goofiness she brought to any situation. I remember the conversations we had till we could see the sun come up in the morning, the nicknames, Jarrod Odle, Batman, the stories she told of Chincoteague Island in VA, the spelling games we played, and her all-around happiness. I am so blessed to have met her, and to have had the opporutunity to have her in my life. She's looking down on us all now though, telling us to live life to it's fullest. She certainly did.
I miss you sis! You'll always be in my heart! Don't forget the bottles, but just bottles okay? We'll meet back up someday :-)
