Dear Stacy


You taught me about loving someone, no matter what.


You taught me to appreciate my fully functioning body.

You taught me patience.

You taught me perseverance.

You taught me to appreciate the small things in life, like cuddling up with someone you love and taking a nap.

You taught me that just hanging out and listening to music can be just as satisfying as going to a concert.

You taught me how to care for someone with special needs.

But most importantly, you taught me about our gospel, and gave me a better understanding of the resurrection and eternal life.

Thank you for being such a great teacher. I love you and miss you with all my heart. I don't know if there are birthday parties in heaven, but if there are, hit the pinanta for me! Happy 31st Birthday!!!

What a great inspiration she was. Going to her funeral showed me just how much one person can affect others.

When I saw your title I thought, "oh man, I am going to cry." I didn't realize that today was her birthday. It really is amazing how much a sweet quiet girl can teach and contribute. I miss her too.
