We regret to inform you that Stacy, our cherished mother, sister, aunt, niece, and daughter, passed away at her Massachusetts home today. In addition to her amazing caregivers and nurses, she was surrounded by her family and close friends. It’s impossible to deal with the loss, especially after losing Tim a little over five months earlier. Our hearts are shattered beyond repair.

As grounded as they come, Stacy was a strong, caring, considerate, and kind person who will live on in our memories. We are incredibly grateful that she was in our lives, and we find solace in the knowledge that she will see her true love, Tim, again. We express our gratitude to every physician, nurse, and caregiver who has assisted Stacy from her diagnosis to this day.

We will always be appreciative of your exceptional assistance and concern. And we sincerely appreciate your kindness to everyone who has given well wishes over the past few months. While we attempt to grieve this significant loss, we respectfully request privacy at this time.
