I was shocked and saddened to hear about Stacey's death today (Feb. 26)  I had a very premature baby in 1994 who was pretty sick for the first couple of years of her life.  Stacey provided terrific care for our daughter and for us.  She was knowledgeable and kind, and always took the time to make sure we were well informed.  When she told us that she no longer needed to follow our daughter as she was doing so well, we were thrilled, but sad to be ending our relationship with Stacey.  We continued to send Christmas cards and updates, and are grateful that we knew Stacey for a short time.  She touched our lives.   ~Sue and Nancy

I was shocked and saddened today to hear of Stacey's passing. I'm so, so sorry to hear of your loss, Sandy. My heart goes out to you and your children, and to Myrna and Irwin, friends of my parents, David and Trudy Ward.

Dear est Myrna, Irwin, Jeffrey, Daniel, and Sandy, Leah and Jonah,

I just received Myrna's card, and am in shock. I indeed cry with you, the sadness just pours out even from your written words. To lose an old person is hard, But to loose a child is beyond belief, Sandy to loose the love of your life, and Leah and Jonah to loose your mother at an early age is heart wrenching. I am so sad for you. I will keep you in my heart  and thoughts and prayers. Know that her love for you remains, and she will be with you and looking after you always.

with lots of love from all of us,
Magda, Fred, Stephen, Sandra  and Michael

We came to know today when my wife tried to book an appt with her for my twin boys. We still cannot believe it and we are shocked. Kids are upset. We knew her for more than nine years. Our heartfelt sympathies to the family. No one will ever be able to care the way she cared for my kids.

Dear Myrna, Irwin and family,
We just heard the sad news about Stacey and wanted to send you our heartfelt sympathies.  Words are hard to find but our thoughts are with you during this very difficult time.

Dear Myrna and Irwin, Sandy, Leah and Jonah,
I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Stacey.  I have such fond memories of my friend Stacey, growing up together in Montreal (through med school). Stacey was a dynamic fun-loving and caring person and a leader of our medical school class.  She was a kind person, with a warm heart and with a smile always on her face.  Ronit joins me in extending our sincere condolences to you on the loss of Stacey.  May her memories bring you comfort now and always.  Baruch Dayan Emet

I was so deeply saddened to hear today of Dr. Schwartz‘s passing. She has been our three girls pediatrician for the last 8 years. Her care of our children was exceptional. My prayers are with your family at this difficult time. Her love of you and her pride in her children, was always evident in the conversations we would have in her office. She was a very special person and I will miss her very much. I feel blessed to have known her and will remember her always.

Stacey and I shared a very brief but unforgettable friendship way back when we were drama specialists at Camp B'nai Brith in Montreal. Stacey was always so full of life, humour and infectious positive energy. I was so saddened to learn of your tragic loss. My deepest sympathy goes out to your families, friends and all who knew and loved her.
Marcie Baron, Montreal Qc

Dear Myrna and Irwin,
We were heartbroken for you and for Stacey's family to learn of her untimely  passing. That parents should lose a child is a tragedy of monumental proportion and one for which there can be little comfort or understanding.
Know that we are thinking of you at this sad time, and that we remember with much fondness and nostalgia,our carefree days so long ago.
Love,
Roz and Harry Pinker

Stacey was a wonderful doctor and valid resourse for the community. She will be missed by all who knew her professionally and personally! May your family find comfort in knowing how many lives you have touched and enriched.

Stacey was a wonderful doctor and above all our loving friendly neighbour. She always had a minute to talk to you no matter what. No child ever knocked in vein on her door, she did her best. We will all miss her lovley smiles and our conversations. Chestnut street will never be the same again. Hall Family

To Dr Schwartz's family 
We are saddened and send Our deepest condolences on her untimely passing. She was my youngest son's Peadiatrician and such a great doctor and wonderful person.

I am deeply saddened by this news. Stacey was a very important part of our lives and she will be missed. She was a devoted doctor and a great human being. Gods speed Stacey and thank you for caring for my son with such care and professionalism . May you rest easy.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Stacey's passing.  Although I wasn't in touch for over 20 years, I will always cherish the moments we spent hiking, canoeing and travelling.  I fondly remember her humor, sharp intelligence, radiant smile and warm heart. I extend my warmest condolences to the whole family

Stephen Patterson

I am so sad to hear of Stacey's passing, and send my deepest condolences to her family. I worked with Stacey in the IWK ER many years ago, and will always remember the terrific care she gave the children and youth there. She was a skilled pediatrician who had her patient's best interests at heart. One moment in particular stands out to me--the kindness and care she provided to a teen who was frightened she might be pregnant. She exemplified what a medical doctor should be. What a great loss to our community.

Dr. Schwartz has been a huge piece of our family for 13 years, treating two of my kids.  We were very fond of her and respected her. We will miss her dearly as will many.  Goodbye  sweet Doctor xo

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Stacey's passing. Although I hadn't been in touch with Stacey in many years, I will always cherish the moments that I had experienced with her; hiking, Canoeing and travelling. She was so full of energy, enthusiasm and life. I fondly remember her sense of humor, sharp intelligence, radiant smile, and warm heart. I extend my warmest condolences to the whole family.

Stephen Patterson

Stacey was a medical school classmate. We met up again at our 25th year reunion at McGill in October which she helped organize. It was so great to see her again. As always, she was warm and friendly with a radiant smile that lit up any room. My deepest sympathy go out to her family.

My deepest sympathies to Stacey's family.  She was my classmate in med school, we were co-leads of our Class musical at the end of 4th year, and it was always great to see her at the McGill reunions.  Stacey, so glad to have had the chance to give you a giant bear hug last year...  will miss you :(

My sympathy for your loss. Stacey was a wonderful person with such a beautiful smile. She has touched the lives of many.

Stacey was one of my classmates at McGill. She was one of the ones I was so excited to see again at last year's reunion. My sincere condolences go out to her family. She was one of the great ones and will be missed.

You will be truly missed. You brought smiles to all that met you. Your personality and radiance warmed everyone that was in the room with you. Never at a loss for words. A genuine friend to all.
Our deepest sympathy to your family. Donna and Adam

I fondly remember Stacey and the whole Schwartz family as our next door neighbours in Montreal West and share in the sadness of Stacey's passing. Stace was a kind, courteous, sweet and sincere friend whose perspective on life always conveyed a sense of joy, humour and peace. I will forever remember her kindness and her strawberry blonde hair. We fell out of touch with each other when we both left Montreal but I always enjoyed hearing about her her career as a doctor and her family and kids. I extend my warm condolences to Myrna, Irwin, Jeff and Daniel and the whole wide circle of those whose lives Stacey touched. May her journey of kindness and dedication to humanity carry on in the lives of all who knew and will always love her.

My humble condolences to the family. Stacey was larger than life, and always brought a dash of color and humour to all she encountered. It was my privilege to work alongside her in a support role at the IWK. She also treated our daughter. She will be missed.
G-d Bless you all in this time of sadness.

Ian MacCorquodale and Family

I want to offer my deepest sympathy to the whole family, Myrna, Irwin, Jeff, Daniel and Sandy, Leah and Jonah. Stacey was such a shining light. After catching up with her last fall, it really felt like no time had passed, and the pride and love she spoke about her family was wonderful. My thoughts are with you all for your tragic loss. I will really miss her.

My deepest condolences to Stacey's family. She had a smile that lights a room and a laugh that lifts your heart. You will be sorely missed.

Deepest condolences. I appreciated all the work done for our class reunions.

Eugene Kovalik MD

I was so sorry to hear this sad news.  I have fond memories of Stacey and the whole Schwartz family as neighbors on Sheraton Drive.  I remember Stacey's smile and her sweetness.  My condolences to you Myrna, Irwin, Geoff and Daniel.  May Stacey's memory be a blessing.

To Sandy Lea and Jonah,Myrna and Irwin Jeffery and Daniel and family,
Ward can not express my sorrow.May you have the strength in this difficult time. 
Ala Sobol,Ottawa

Growing up in Montreal West, Stacey was my sweet, kind friend and next door neighbour, for whom I have always had such deep respect and admiration and a lasting soft spot in my heart. She epitomized that rare combination in a person of sincerity, humour, thoughtfulness and maturity, not to mention her great "strawberry blonde hair" as she emphatically called it, refusing to let anyone call her a red-head! 

 When I moved away from Montreal in my early twenties we lost touch and through the grapevine, I would periodically hear about her wonderful career and married life and beautiful kids. 

  I am so sorry and heartbroken to hear that she was taken from life at her prime; and I pass along my deepest condolences in this painful time to Myrna and Irwin and my dear old friend Jeff and Daniel and all their families and to Stacey's beloved husband and children--and to all the wide circle of people whose lives were touched by this very lovely soul. May her journey of kindness continue through all who knew and loved her.

My deepest condolences to Stacey's family. I grew up with Stacey as she was a close friend of my sister Susan. It is so hard to imagine life without her. Even though she was ill last December Stacey flew to Montreal when my mother died to support us. I am so very sad at her passing.
Love to all

Dear Myrna & Irwin, We were so sorry to learn of Stacey's passing and at such a young age. She had a very successful life and there is so much to be celebrated, but losing such a wonderful child is very, very hard. We are thinking of you and wish you and your family happier times. Our deepest sympathies

Dr.Stacy Schwartz was our sons' doctor for years, and our family will definitely miss this kind and gifted person.    
We are so very sorry for your loss.

Dear Stacey and family, I am so sad to hear of this news. You are a light on this planet, no matter where you are shining from. Ken (Morehouse) sent me the message. I remember you very very much. I send your family deepest sympathy on behalf of all of our family, and I'll never forget our conversation at the lake. You said "Jen, it only matter if you look good in your clothes! The real guy you are with will love you anyway." Much love to all the family, I know you do not know me, but sometimes someone touches you at different times. I hope the service yesterday was meaningful for all of you, and I wish for Stacey's family strength and hopefulness as you mourn. If she was anything like I remember, she was a great person with a lot of strength, and I have thought of her many times over the last many years. With sincerity, Jennifer Morehouse

My thoughts and condolences for Dr. Schwartz' family and friends. Although I did not have the pleasure of knowing her personally, I often sought out her expertise through consultations regarding students with whom I was involved with. I'm sure I speak on behalf of the whole student services department of HRSB when I say that she will be greatly missed.

Schwartz family,
We were devastated to hear the news of Stacey's passing. When we moved to the neighbourhood last year Stacey was the first person to introduce herself and welcome us to Halifax. She was a lovely person and will be missed. You are all in our thoughts. John, Lisa and Edward Cook

I was so saddened to hear about Stacey's passing.  She was my best friend all throughout high school.  We lost touch when I moved away.  All my memories of growing up include Stacey in them.  She definitely knew how to have fun, yet worked very hard.  She was such a great friend, and I don't know how I would have gotten through those years without her and her dear parents.  Myrna, Irwin, Jeffrey, Daniel, Uncle Dougie and families.....I am so sorry for your loss.  I haven't stopped crying since I heard the news. Sandy, Leah and Jonah, Stacey sent me an email last year with your pictures and we caught up.  You have a beautiful family and I am so sorry that your Mom was taken from you much too early.  May her memories bring you comfort.  She was a truly special person.

Sandy & Family:

Thinking of you all, at this difficult time.

Sincerest Condolences
Mike, Andrea, Jessica & Justin Weagle

So, sorry for your loss!  Dr. Stacey Schwartz was my son's doctor for the last 5 years!  We will miss her very much!  She was the only one that called my son by his middle initials J.D. and we always sat there and didn't know she meant him and we would look up and she would have this big smile on her face!  R.I.P. Stacey!  You will be greatly missed!

Myrna so sorry to hear about your.tragic loss.remember me Joyce Levine Iona avenue then high school.again my thought are with you at this difficult time ,Joyce Levine Goodman

Sandy and family--we were so very shocked and saddened to hear about Dear Stacey.  Oh, how we could talk to her for hours as a neighbour and a friend.  Although we didn't see her often, we picked right up and she was always so genuinely interested in our lives.  She was so helpful to everyone-- such a spirited, positive and inspiring person who we were privileged to have known.  She will be forever fondly remembered.  Our thoughts are with you all.  Brian and Rachael Tabor

Our family meet Dr. Schwartz about 12 years ago.  Our daughter Olivia was diagnosed with Biliary Atresia, a rare liver disease 6 weeks after birth.
Our next step was a team of doctors which included Stacey.
We went through a lot over the next 2 years and she was there each step of the way.  
Unfortunately, we lost Olivia in 2003. Stacey, along with a large number of our other caregivers attended her funeral service, during a snow storm, in the Valley...AMAZING!!! 
Each year since we have had a walk in memory of Olivia and to raise money for the Liver Foundation...Stacey has attended many of these walks...again, AMAZING!!!  Every time my husband and I look up and see her there, we think...wow after all this time and the countless other patients that have come and gone, she STILL cares about us and our family.  She wasn't there this year in April, I assume I now know why.  
We are thankful for her part in our daughters care...we are thankful for her continuing care for us...and we are so very,very sorry for your family's loss.  I personally will always remember that last hug I got to give her at our walk last year and will forever be thankful for her caring support.

Stacey was a wonderful, sensitive doctor with whom I have had the pleasure of consulting for many years.  She will be grieved within the school psychology community, particularly in the central Halifax area.

My son Liam was a patient of Stacey's.  She was wonderful to both of us and often talked about our families, children, and the things we enjoyed.   I'm heartbroken to hear of this traggic news.   Stacey will be missed by many and know she loved her children.   

To her two children, I leave you words that would echo your mom's sentiments:

May the angels protect you
Trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you when it's time to go home
May you always have plenty
Your glass never empty
Know in your belly
You're never alone

May your tears come from laughing
You find friends worth having
With every year passing
They mean more than gold
May you win but stay humble
Smile more than grumble
And know when you stumble
You're never alone

Never alone 
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you're never alone

Well, I have to be honest
As much as I want it
I'm not gonna promise the cold winds won't blow
So when hard times have found you
And your fear surround you
Wrap my love around you
You're never alone

Never alone 
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you're never alone

May the angels protect you
Trouble neglect you
And heaven accept you when it's time to go home
And when hard times have found you
And your fear surround you
Wrap my love around you
You're never alone

Never alone 
Never alone
I'll be in every beat of your heart
When you face the unknown
Wherever you fly
This isn't goodbye
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you're never alone
My love will follow you stay with you
Baby you're never alone

Words cannot explain how I feel hearing that Dr. Schwartz has passed away. She was a saviour to us in the care she gave my daughter . Cathy and Caitlin George

My deepest sympathy on the loss of Stacey:  your daughter, niece, wife, and mother.
Marsha Machlovitch Costin

So sorry to hear about Stacey. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Karen Shewbridge and Brett Loney

Dr. Schwartz was a very good doctor. I was heartbroken to hear the news. Not only was she an amazing pediatrician, but she was a genuinely lovely person - one Christmas I wanted to get my mother something nice, so she took me down to the gift shop and spent $60 on a necklace for me. She gave me "A Wrinkle in Time" by Madeleine L'Engle, and wrote a note saying "This was my favourite book as a little girl, and I hope you enjoy it just as much as I did."

What an absolutely lovely person she was to have done those things for a patient of hers. You will be missed, Dr. Schwartz.

I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT STACEY. SHE WAS MY SONS PEDITRICIAN, AND WE ADORED HER.

My deepest condolences to your family. Stacey was a colleague whom I highly respected in so many ways. What a tragic loss.

To Sandy and family,  May the love of family and friends get you through this difficult time.  So sorry for your loss.

I dont know what to say to you, but I wish G-d could have waited another 40 years.
Beryl

Stacey will be missed by many she was a great lady.  Thoughts to the family during this hard time

my thoughts and prayers are with the family.  Stacey will be missed by the peds community and all of her patients and coworkers.
