Hey Stacia, been 18 years now since you've been gone. I still think about you from time to time, certain songs, and certain things trigger memories from long ago. I wish you had gotten to spend more time with us, though the world today is not what you would remember, it's getting to be a scary place. Today is my wife's birthday, so it's a day I never forget. I know you are watching over all of us and I hope you are at peace and until we meet again, so long.

The world lost a beautiful soul when Stacia died. Old beyond her years. I truly remember her as one of the most special people I have known.

Stacia was one of the most pure souls I've had the pleasure to know. She was my roommate in GL many many years ago. I've always remembered her which lead me to finding this page. I tried to search her name to contact her and found this sad news. She was always so kind to me when others where not. She gave me strength when I needed it. She was and is beautiful. A beautiful person a beautiful soul. So special. Rest easy stacia -Steph

I saw your mom post on Facebook today about this fateful day 15 years ago when you left us. Facebook is something you never got to see but I'm sure you would have liked it, helps us all keep in touch and see what is going on in each other's lives. I really wish we had gotten to spend more time together, RIP

I was just telling my son about a girl I used to know named Stacia. I told him that she was so special. He is 14 and a great kid. I told him that she was one of the most incredible kids that I ever knew. Stacia was an old soul. Very special, beautiful.

I was blessed to have Stacia in my life. As I read these entries for the first time there are tears streaming down my face. Stacia and I met when we were 6 years old and were inseperable. I have so many fun and crazy memories with her. Our friendship was like no other I have ever had.
Stacia.... I spent this last weekend with Mom and Walt and I got to hold you in my hands. I can't tell you the emotion that came over me. You were so special to me and my family and are missed every day. I know you are up there with my mom looking down upon us, both of you beautiful angels. Your strength and beauty always radiated off of you and there are days were I swear you are with me. Miss you and love you very much... you will always have a very special place in my heart xoxo

Ah my little cousin Stacia. You were probably the closest thing I ever had to a sister. Though sometimes I thought we were black and white, we always got along great whenever we were together. I see your parents a couple times every year and every year I see them I wish you would walk in the door behind them. I know you are in a better place looking down on all of us and watching over us. One day we will all be together again as one big happy family and my heart longs for it year after year. I love you and miss you very much. You will always be in our hearts.

I didn't realize that this page was still accessible until I happened upon it today. I read through the messages and allowed myself to reminisce. I think about how far I have come in my life journey, I recognize the struggles I have overcome and I know Satcia would have been so proud of my accomplishments. I wish that we could have realized health and success together. Satcia was a beutiful young woman and would have continued to have an amazing impact on the world. Her memory is an inspiration.

Nicole Bissett

December 29, 2006

Don't think of her as gone away.
Her journey's just begun.
Life holds so many facets,
this world is only one.

Just think of her as resting
from the sorrows and the fears,
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days or years.

Think how she must be wishing
how we could know today,
that nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

Think of her as living
in the hearts of those she touched.
For nothing loved is ever lost
and she was loved so much.

Love and miss you forever!

I was compelled to come here today, because I was thinking about Stacia alot. I was thinking about my graduation party that I had on June 15th and how she wasn't there. I was thinking about how much fun it would have been if she was there. Yesterday, i wanted to go to her grave, but i was afraid to, because i knew that all i would do is cry and i don't want to cry for her n e more. I want to be happy that she is no longer suffering. I want to remember the person that she was and how special she was rather than the circumstances of her death. I want to remember how hard she tried to get better and how much i looked up to her for wanting to get better. Although sometimes i wish there was something i could have done, something i could have said to make her better, but i'm realizing that there wasn't n e thing i could have done, but be her friend, and that is what i was, and hopefully she will always remember me because i could never forget her.

If tears could bring a staircase, and memories were a lane, I would walk right up to summerland and bring you home again. No farewell workd were spoken, no time to say goodbye. You were gone before I knew it and only the gods know why. My heat still aches with sadness and secret tears still flow. What it meant to lose you, no one will ever know (anonomous)

I knew Stacia since she was a little girl. Her mom, Kelly, and I have been friends since childhood. I was lucky enough to get to know Stacia better when she came to visit me in Florida for a vacation a couple of years ago. She was an amazing women, and I say women because she was wise before her time, she knew how to love life, and everything around her, so open-minded yet gentle about her point of views. She may have seen and experienced more in her 17 years of life than most of us do in a life time.

Stacia, I believe you are in a place now where you feel no pain, have no struggles, where you can dance in the meadows, talk to the earth and fly with the angels. You touched so many lives in such a way that your legacy will live on.

Kelly and Walter, stay strong, as we know Stacia would want that.

Until we meet again.....Patty

I never met Stacia in this life, but because of her love of music, was drawn to a website she started in honor of a friend of mine named Jim Ellison of the band Material Issue, who passed back in 1996. Whether Stacia knew it or not, she has kept Jim's spirit and music alive. I thank you Stacia--your beauty will always be with us. :)

February 21, 2002

I have known Stacia for over ten years and I have always felt a certain bond between us. We always had deep talks and her opinions always mattered to me. When the news of her death came I felt as if I had lost that friend that you only get once in a lifetime. Towards the end of her life we became closer than ever and I miss her very much. Not a day goes by that I don't think of her and wish that I could have just one more day with her to tell her how much she meant to me. I looked up to her and I still do. I love ya hun, and until we meet again take care. We all miss you and hope that you are at peace!

It was my pleasure to know Stacia since the end of last summer when I hired her at CDSpins..It has taken me this long to beable to try to express how much I will miss her..Stacia was a kind and generous soul who was always smiling and willing to help a friend..My staff and co-workers are devastated by the space we know feel..Even though we did not get to know Stacia for long she touched alot of people thru her individuality and her willingness to give to others.. Stacia was a joy to know and work with and I know she loved working with us all because of the music :)..Stacia was a giving soul and I feel blessed to have known her and she has made a positive impact upon my life and I am sure upon many others lives as well.

I was privledged to build a relationship with Stacia during our months togather at GLDC. Though we did not meet under the greatest circumstances, I feel blessed that she did enter my life. i remember her as a passionate and unique girl, so caring and inspiring. She was the one patient I truly trusted at the program, and i came to rely on her insight, support and friendship to pull me through the day.

Though, at first glance, our situations and isues seemed black and white, as we talked, related and laughed together, we gained a mutual respect, and understanding for each others struggles.

so when i heard of Stacia's death i was devastated. i thought of a way to pay my respects but nothing seemed sufficient or appropriate. i talked with my currant roomate at Germaine Lawrence who had also known Stacia and we shared memories through tears. i remeber her love for "Back to the 80's Froday night" that never failed to get her to dance or sing, and her appreciating of the goddesses and inner strength.

Just the other day, i found an old letter from Stacia, so encouraging and sweet. she told me at least five times throughout the pages how beautiful and talented I am. i only wish that when others listed her strengths, she actually believed what was being said. though i have not yet accepted the reality of Stacia's death, i have thought of it alot. i hope Stacia is safe and at peace, and that she is freed from the struggles she faced. i hope she can hear my prayers and the prayers of those who loved her, and realize how many lives she touched.

with all my love

I had the pleasure of working with Stacia during her stay at Germaine Lawrence. She was a very talented and beautiful young woman. I will hold on dearly to my memories of her, her wonderful fashion sense, her smile and laughter and her love for Duran Duran. I can truly say it was my great honor to know Stacia

Stacia was a wonderfull person. I lived w/her for meny months at GLDC.

She was so pritty and smart. She gave life a sertion meaning that took me a log time to understand. She was so full of life. I remember her teling me once that beuty is all around you and all you havf to do is look close to see it. I looked up to her and I was devastated to find out she had pasted on. I cared about her

a lot, just like a sister. I remeber how she always would lay out in the middle of a grassy feild and say that it gave her positive enrgy. She would also hug trees all the time. I

hope that she is happy now and in peace.

It is with great sadness that I find myself writing this entry. Stacia was one of the most amazing kids I have ever had the honor of knowing. Her spirit, personality, and insight touched my life. In many of my interactions with her, I found myself to be the student and she the teacher as she taught me about her life and her spirituality. It is her faith and spirit that I think of now for I know she is in a better place. It is a place where her sadness and pain can no longer touch her and she is free of all burdens. Her light and love of nature and all things beautiful are hers to enjoy now. I will be forever grateful that our paths crossed and wish all who mourn her loss peace and comfort.
