  31. My deepest regards to the whole family. I watched the tribute and it was so moving. What a beautiful young lady, so talented and so full of life. Now she has gone on to be an angel in heaven, where we all strive to go.

  32. For our princess Stacey I pray that God will let her know how much everyone loves her how much she means for so many of us…We for ever will be thankful to those who touched her life for those who shared special times and laughs with Stacey. We were limited to our time with Stacey but I know that the time we did have with her will forever be in our hearts. Te amo mija siempre…tia gloria

  33. God’s word: But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strenght. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:31 / To everyone who is hurting know that: Only God can heal the broken heart. As much as this hurts us all so deeply – life does go on and we have to remind ourselves that our dear Stacey is in a better place. We must all continue our journey in this eartly life and wait to be reunited with her someday. All I can do is picture her singing with Gods angels as happy as can be. May God give us all the peace and comfort we need and replace the pain with his mighty love -specially my brother Amado.
    The Lord will give strength to his people; the Lord will give his people the blessing of peace. Psalms 29:11
    Stacey will always be remembered as a lovely,happy and caring child of God. Blessings to everyone who was friends with her, thank you!
    with love,
    Magaly,Angie,Veronica & Little Moises – Florence, AL

  37. To the family of Stacey Cano:
    I am sorry for your loss. Jehovah promises that He will provide the comfort that we need in our difficult time (2 Corinthians 1:3)
    The Bible promise that Jehovah will put an end to death forever and He will bring back to life our dead loved ones through the promise of resurrection.
    (Isaiah 25:8),(Revelation 21:4)
    Sincerely,
    Colleen D.
