"Dear Stacy, I never got the chance to tell you just how much our friendship meant to me. You were more like a sister to me than a friend. I have missed you so much the past few years! I cherish all of the great times we had together. I love you and you will always be one of my dearest friends. R.I.P. Stacy...xOxO"
