"I can't express how much Stacy has been in my life. What an compassionate, loving, smarter than she would admit, funny person Stacy was in life. One thing I can never forget was the day, as my nurse, she laughed at my reaction to her being able to reach inside my wounds and feel both hands. She nursed me back to life, I wish I could have returned the favor. She saved my life, no thank you's would ever be enough. I love this person. I raise my Diet Coke to her."
