JaStacia! Girl, your smile and laughter was everything. The birthdays, trips and life we spent together. I hate you felt you had to isolate yourself after the fame of your son and decline of your health. I am so grateful to God he allowed us to share our childhood together. I will forever miss you and your words of love and kindness will forever be in my heart! Forever my God-Sister!

Stacy was such a sweet lady. We went to school together but she was also my son's oncology medical assistant when he was little. She gave him extra snacks and was so patient with him. I am so very sad to hear this.

I first met Stacy when I worked in Fernandina, it was about the time Derrick was drafted to the Titans, we connected over my nails colors and designs due to them being “Titan blue”. Later we talked kids and grandkids. She was always smiling no matter what she had going on. My condolences to the family and you’ll be in my prayers.!
