I was privileged to meet Stacey the very day she was diagnosed. The courage she displayed was and will always be an inspiration to me in my life. My prayer is that her courage & spirit will be carried on by her daughter.

Mike, Wendy, and Family. We are so very sorry for your great loss.

Watching our daughters grow up and play softball for all of those years at Miley and later at EJ with Coach John were great memories. Making the road trips and experiencing the wins and losses gave us a chance to bond with our girls and to let them know how much we loved them and wanted to be a part of their lives.

As you know, we can not always understand why things happen a certain way in life, but we do know that God is our ultimate coach, and somehow he wanted Stacey safe on base where it really counts. Now she will just have to do her spiritual coaching and cheering-on for lovely daughter Makayla, and for her brother Jeff, from higher up... but I have no doubt that she will always be there for you guys. And now you will be here for her as well, to share her memories with each other, and to live life as she would have wanted you to.

Stacey has left your family with many good memories, and most important we now have the hope and means of rejoining Stacey and our other loved ones when it is our time to round the bases. I suspect that Stacey will be waiting for you somewhere near home plate, with that softball in her hand and that smile on her face to welcome you.

“You played a great game Stacey,and made your family and friends so very proud.” We are keeping your family in our prayers.

Mike,
I cannot imagine the loss that you feel right now. Although I didn't know Stacey personally, if she was anything like you, I know she was a joy to be around, always a little mischievous, always smiling and a great mother, sister, daddy's girl, and daughter. I'm praying that God will wrap you all up in his great big arms of love and carry you through this tough situation! Stacey is in His hands now! Sometimes God picks the very best to open our eyes to HIS will for our lives! Keep your eyes focused on Him and he will lead you through! We love you and are praying for you! Your cousin Sharon Purifoy

RIP Stacey! Always Loved Never Forgotten!!

Jeff, Makayla, Mr.and Mrs. Furr
I am truly sorry for your loss. Stacy was lucky to have a great family full of love and support. I did not know Stacy as a friend. I only knew her as a great mother that wore a beautiful smile! We only shared the usual hello and good bye from the ballgames or at the ST.MM functions. There was Stacy cheering for Makayla through her good times and her rough times.Truly amazing! You will get to see signs of Stacy through Makayla and Jeff from now on. Her heart will always be visible right here on earth. God takes great people sometimes. We never know why!! But we do know this, He sure got a keeper in Stacy.
May God give you everlasting memories!
Respectfully,
Coach Carey and Monica Camp

May they find a cure in your memory!! Rest in peace

You always made Mary happy even when y'all disagreed. The two of you were so funny because y'all would argue about something foolish and then go out like nothing happened. Mary loves you like a sister and you will always be a part of our lives. You touched Mary, Madison, Avery and myself in so many ways. Thank you for being part of our lives. Thanks for making my 32nd birthday one I'll never forget.

Simmer down Stacey..We love you.

I never thought that our last conversation was going to be that.I seriously thought that last trip to the doctor meant something else. You were definitely a beautiful firecracker with a beautiful smile and we always had good times together. You were strong in your battle (something I don't think I could have done) May you be the angel that watches over your Mom Dad Jeff and Makayla. You will be missed.

I love you girl and I know that you will be watching over us and don't you worry, Makayla will always know what an amazing mother she had and how she was loved by so many. I love you
