Stacey was born in Nottingham on April 19th 1984, a beautiful daughter, granddaughter and niece. As a baby Stacey was the talk of the town, how the little girl with the bluest eyes aged just 9 months could walk along Derby Road, by the time she was 1 she was stringing a sentence together! The bright little girl that became a sister for Kati and Jay, a cousin for Sheli, Leanne, Hayley, Molly, Carl and Richard and a dear friend to many others. As Stacey grew she developed into a mischievous cheeky kid, with a heart of gold and a playful twinkle in her eye – don’t get us wrong she may have looked like an angel but believe me at times she was a terror :) She was always up to something, always had ants in her pants, unless she was being creative – she loved drawing and colouring, and would spend hours playing shops, raiding Nanna’s cupboards for boxes and tins and all the cousins would knock on the kitchen door one by one waiting to be told ‘Enter’ by Stacey who was always the shop keeper. Stacey loved the film Calamity Jane, she would sit and watch it with Kati Dad and Mel on a Sunday afternoon, and then everyone would have to watch Stacey perform it all over again. Whip Crackaway was her favourite.

Schooldays started and although Stacey wasn’t too keen on school, she eventually after being unwrapped from the 15th lamppost on the way would finally give in and go, she had some great times and made some lovely friends along the way. We were so proud of her when she performed at the Royal Concert Hall with school. And school shows that she took part in at Christmastime. Sports Day was always trophy day for Stacey she seemed to be good at everything, sack race, egg & spoon, three legged race, running, you name it she won it.

There was always someone sleeping over which meant Stacey would be practising her hairdressing skills, there would be kids on the street with chunks of hair missing or even a complete fringe gone! Hence your nickname Edward Scissorhands! We would enjoy long walks in the summer holidays, we were always off on an adventure and Stacey would be leading the way making us all laugh. She used to love laying with Kati, Jay and all their friends watching the thunderstorms in the garden, while mum panicked inside and Dad stood laughing saying ‘they’re alright! Whenever there was laughter Stacey was always the one that cracked the joke or pulled the funniest face. She loved school discos and was always the one up dancing first, getting the party started.

In her teen years she grew into a beautiful woman, she still had the cheeky twinkle and could still talk for England, she used to have us in fits of laughter with all her funny sayings, Remember when she thought Ikea was a holiday resort.

But Stacey was a free spirit, there was no holding her back, she was a very strong, brave woman who would stand up for herself, and didn’t fear anything or anyone. She would talk to anyone and made friends really easy until it was time to move on, she couldn’t stay in one place for more than 5 minutes, if she was here now she would be saying ‘boring ere init’? with a screwed up funny face, or ‘get me a cab’. She always lived life in the fast lane and by her own rules and every corner was a new adventure. She was a stubborn sod and it was always her way or no way but it wasn’t until towards the end of Staceys life that we realised that her stubbornness was also her greatest strength.

Throughout her life Stacey made everyone laugh and smile, even in the last few months she managed to have us and all the staff on 308 in fits of laughter, she left a mark on everyone she met, and she met a lot of people in her colourful life. Stacey was infectious.

Now in the safe arms of Grandma Eileen and Milly x

"WE'RE SPENDING CHRISTMAS WITH JESUS THIS YEAR"

We see the countless Christmas trees around the world below.
With tiny lights, like heaven's stars, reflecting on the snow.
The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away that tear; For we're
spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
We hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear.
But the sounds of music can't compare with the Christmas choir up here.
We have no words to tell you the joy their voices bring.
For it is beyond description to hear the angels sing.
We know how much you miss us, we see the pain inside your heart.
But we're not so far away, we really aren't apart.
We cannot tell you of the splendor or the peace inside this place Can
you imagine Christmas with our Savior, face to face?
We will ask him to light your spirit as we tell him of your love.
So then pray for one another as you lift your eyes above.
So be happy for us, dear ones, you know we hold you dear.
And be glad we're spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.
We sent you each a special gift, from our heavenly home above.
We sent you each a memory of our undying love.
After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold.
It was always most important in the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other, as our Father said to do.
For we can't count the blessing or love he has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear.
Remember, we're spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

Christmas Without You

Christmas without you here with us,
can never possibly be the same.
But I carry an Angel within my heart;
one so precious, who has your name.

An Angel forever watching over me,
at Christmas time, and over the year.
Although you can't be here anymore,
inside my heart, you are so very near.

There is no special present for you,
wrapped up under my Christmas tree.
But I have a greater gift to give to you;
all the love you can still feel from me.

No, Christmas time without you here,
could not ever possibly be the same.
But, I have had the precious gift of you,
and the memories and love, will remain ♥

If flowers grow in heaven Lord, then pick a bunch for me, place them in my daughters arms and tell her they're from me. Tell her that I love and miss her, and when She turns to smile, place a kiss upon her cheek and hold her for a while Love you Stacey xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Until We Meet Again

Those special memories of you
will always bring a smile
If only i could have you back
for just a little while
Then we could sit and talk again
just like we used to do
you always meant so very much
and always will do too
The fact that your no longer here
will always cause me pain
but your forever in my heart
until we meet again

Thoughts

I thought I saw her face today
In the sparkle of the morning sun.
And then I heard the angel say
“Her work on earth is done.”

I thought I heard her voice today
Then laugh her hearty laugh.
And then I heard the angel say
“There’s peace little one at last.”

I thought I felt her touch today
In the breeze that rustled by.
And then I heard the angel say
“The spirit never dies.”

I thought that she had left me
For the stars so far above.
And then I heard the angel say
“She left you with her love.”

I thought that I would miss her
And never find my way.
And then I heard the angel say
“She’s with you every day.”

Special Daughter

A daughter is a wonderful blessing

A treasure form above

Shes laughter ,warmth and special charm

Shes thoughtfulness and love



A daughter brings a special joy

That comes from deep inside

And as she grows to adulthood

She fills your heart with pride



With every year that passes

Shes more special than before

Through every stage ,through every age

You love her even more



No words can describe the warm memories

The pride and gratitude too

That comes from having a daughter

To love and to cherish... Just like you !

A Pair of Shoes

I am wearing a pair of shoes.
They are ugly shoes.
Uncomfortable shoes.
I hate my shoes.
Each day I wear them, and each day I wish I had another pair.
Some days my shoes hurt so bad that I do not think I can take another step.
Yet, I continue to wear them.I get funny looks wearing these shoes.
They are looks of sympathy.
I can tell in others eyes that they are glad they are my shoes and not theirs.
They never talk about my shoes.
To learn how awful my shoes are might make them uncomfortable.
To truly understand these shoes you must walk in them.
But, once you put them on, you can never take them off.
I now realize that I am not the only one who wears these shoes.
There are many pairs in this world.
Some woman are like me and ache daily as they try and walk in them.
Some have learned how to walk in them so they don't hurt quite as much.
Some have worn the shoes so long that days will go by before they think about how much they hurt.
No woman deserves to wear these shoes.
Yet, because of these shoes I am a stronger woman.
These shoes have given me the strength to face anything.
They have made me who I am.
I will forever walk in the shoes of a woman who has lost a child.

An Eternal Memory of My Daughter

The awful pain of losing you

is still so hard to bear

Its difficult to face the day

and know that your not there

for you always meant everything

and made each day so bright

and now your gone the world seems dark

without your shining light

but cherished special and so loved

you always will remain

God bless you precious daughter

Until the day we meet again

Christmas in Heaven

I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below
with tiny lights like Heavens stars reflecting on the snow.

I have no words to tell you of the JOY their voices bring

for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year.

I can't tell you of the splendor or the peace here in this place
Can you just imagine Christmas with our Savior face to face

I'll ask him to lift your spirit as I tell him of your love
so then pray for one another as you lift your eyes above.

Please let your hearts be joyful and let your spirit sing
for I am spending Christmas in Heaven and I’m walking with the King.
