My deepest sympathy and condolences go out to the Lacey family. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of grief. I am sorry but did not have the opportunity to Know the Lacey family, but had heard the story from the media. I am a twin and can only imagine your loss at this time. I know how I felt when my own twin had undergone open-heart surgery, some time ago. Pardon the note, but as one twin to another, I offer my deepest sympathy at this time.

Best Regards,

To The Lacey Family: May God be with you at this time of Lost....

You have a beautiful Angel watching over you.....Richard he will always be with you.......Look deep inside your heart...and he is there...

Weep not for me

now that I have passed.

Remember the laughter, the affection, the joy

not just the recent tears.

Cherish the memories, our hopes and dreams.

Hold fast to the love that we shared.

Be happy with the time we spent together

and being anew.

For I am not really gone,

I am closer than ever before.

As the morning sun rises

and throughout the busy day...I am with you.

Until the setting sun disappears on the horizon

and we watch the day turn into night...I am here.

You may feel a faint breeze stir round your head, while you slumber

as I gently kiss your forehead, "Good night."

The stars that shine so brightly in my heavenly sky

help me watch over you and keep you from harm.

I am the wind in the trees

and the song of a bird.

I am moonbeams in a midnight sky

and a glorious rainbow after the storm.

I am morning dew

and freshly-fallen snow.

I am a butterfly flying overhead

and a puppy happily at play.

I am a smile on a stranger's face

a gentle touch

a warm embrace.

Listen to the wind for my message of love.

Watch the sun rise and set in the sky with me.

Feel my essence encircle you with warm memories.

Open your heart to know...I am not gone.

Reach deep into your soul...You will find me.

I am here.

Have no fear.

I am with you,

Always.

Luv ya John, and gonna miss ya. I went to school with you all my life and I'll never forget how sweet and how much of a great friend and person you were. Especially having all 4 years of high school homeroom with you and Rich. And also hanging out outside of school! We always had fun! And always had classes together. You always did so good and tried your best in everything you did. You always had a smile and were a sweetheart. I'm so sorry it had to be like this-you of all people-but your memory and spirit will remain in our hearts with all of us forever. R.I.P. Lacey. I'll miss ya.

I remember him from my years in DECA, especially the kindness and generosity he always showed. Coming to my house to get help on the manual with Rich, they were always very thankful and cute :) I know everyone will miss him.
