"In the last 20 years, I've had the honor of doing Stacey's hair as well as getting to know her. We have shared some great times. It was always a pleasure to have her come in every 3 weeks, calling me before she came to see if I wanted anything from Starbuck's. While we were doing her hair, we would split a desert she had brought with her, and its those little acts of kindness that I will always remember about Stacey. We used to have some very in-depth, spiritual conversations. Most of our conversations centered around her family, and some of the neat vacations the whole family would have together. Stacey was much more than just a customer. She was my friend, and I will miss her."
