Name: Ott-Laughlin Funeral Home
Address: Auburndale, FL

Timing and luck. All my love to you and your family and closest friends. I'm so sad that your not here but I think of you often trying to dance or walk or smile when  I can't or don't want to.  I will always remember you Lori and I dancing! I'm so sorry you are gone too soon.. I know you are too but are still here in spirit wishing for that reason. You were a bright strength in the dark and challenged me when I thought I couldn't push through a lot.  I wish I'd had been able to be there and relax more or helped you and your family and friends more. You were and are a bright light and smile and voice and  I know you look out and over us all sometimes
 Rip so sad trying to find some strength when it isn't there  . Love Karin 

Dance on i hope it's ok to cry  your tears. Mine were yours and maybe yours were also mine too. A good friend or two is  way so difficult and impossible to not remember once and awhile. 



STACI RENEE GRIFFIN
January 03, 2018
God is so amazing to have brought Staci into my life. We met at Disney in the Character Department bringing incredible laughter and joy to guests we met. Our time in the breakroom though was more memorable in a personal way. Staci and I shared our love for the Lord and she always illuminated God's grace. I am blessed to have known her, worked with her, played with her and even prayed with her. In the music I have shared was a few of her favorite worship songs, "It is Well with my Soul", "Bless the Lord oh my Soul", and Amazing Grace". I think of her often and keep you, her family in my prayers. Staci left a hole in our hearts on earth, but heaven gained an Angel who is rejoicing every day. I love you Staci Griffin. Thank you for being a spiritual light in my life.

My Sweet Staci,   I miss you every day of my life, and always will. I vision you in heaven walking around meeting everyone there.... with your heart warming smile you give everyone you see. Your love for us is so hard to live without... I miss hearing you say ; I love you Momma, and your the BEST momma in the world, Hoss'er , and 
Teesa-messa, and seeing you love on Madelyn Grace. Staci there is a part of my heart that hurts all the time, a whole that can never be filled. But I'm so thankful I know where you are, and I will see you again.. I love you so much... I just wish I could relive your 39 years all over... but I know God is taking good care of you. ..  You will always be in my heart...

I miss you every day, my girl!  Yours is the only picture hanging in my house and after Beth secured it away for the hurricane, it was the first thing I got out and put back up.  I miss your smile and texting with you about your Mom when she's with us.  LOL!!!  You will always be missed ❤

Oh my goodness I am just Now seeing this! Staci and I worked together at Disney and she was such a sweet friend! I moved to Tennessee and had lost constant touch with her but kept up with her here and there on Facebook. I thought I saw something about her being sick but I had no idea how bad it was! I feel so bad that I didn't keep up with her more. : (  She always had such a sweet spirit and was so fun to work with! I still have photos of her in my Disney frams at my house. She would have been so happy that I finally got married last week!  My thoughts and prayers go out to her family!

I remember the time I came down to your house with Howard and you had to work and me and Staci hung out together we had a good time. Staci was so funny and sweet and I remember all the times you all would come up when they were little and the kids would play together.

Staci how I miss our talks... you are one very special person in my life and I am a better person for knowing you. And I thank you for your dear friendship.. I miss my sister.. I know God is using YOU to be his Angel for your loving family and friends. We all love and miss you Staci..

Staci Renee Griffin ...my niece and one of my closest friends.  Staci was so close, to so many! I've never seen anything like it and I doubt I ever will.  And through our relationship with Staci we are so blessed because we will always be connected. Staci talked about her family and friends all the time.  And with her cell phone close at hand, she was never far away.  Staci will always be very special to me.  And I know that she will always be very special to you too - special to all that were blessed to be loved by her, to have known her, talked to her, received a smile from her or even made eye contact with her.  I'll never forget when Staci and Lori asked me "Are you going to be our aunt?" I didn't know at the time, but when I married Uncle Flip, I became Aunt Lauren.  Staci loved getting attention from Aunt Lauren and Aunt Lauren loved giving attention to Staci.  Our relationship... one of a kind, because Staci...one of a kind...so easy to love and so very blessed to be loved by her.  Staci is not far away...I will love Staci forever and forever Staci will be in my heart!


Maryann Broeker I didn't know your precious daughter but do know your pain you face every day 
No words can reach the pain you feel 
I feel this for you sue 
Bless you 
Praying for you and sending love

She was an angel before she became one.

Phyllis Meador Maynard I didn't know Staci personally, just seeing post on Facebook. My life was touched by her because of her faith in God and happiness she constantly showed during her illness. She was a strong willed young lady.

Sarah Margaret PRAISE GOD in HEAVEN I was able to meet and be with this PRECIOUS Young lady, she and her MOM are a very SPECIAL INSPIRATION to me, and ALWAYS will be !!!

I saw Staci in church, but never met her face-to-face. We were Facebook friends after she private messaged me to confirm who I really was. My profile picture was actually my husband, the drummer at Heartland. I had been asked by Mike and Lizbeth White to make a handmade encouragement card for Staci, which I did. I wish I had the chance to know her personally. She was an awesome example of how we should all be. My love and prayers to you.

2 months and 6 days ago you left me to go to your true home, It seems like forever, but just like yesterday... I miss you so much, but God wanted you and you had to go... I ask God everyday to give me strength and let me honor Him, but I just miss you so much....I love you Staci, and I always hold you close to my heart....  Mom

Sue, Teesa and Hoss.. I have had a hard time accepting Staci being gone but I want you to know how much I loved her and will miss her, Staci would call her Aunt Annette  at  night and one night she called before Annette got home and she talked with me from Sanford  to Kissimmee. That was such a joy. Some times when she was visiting her Granny She would bring her computer over to check her schedules and emails, sometimes she would sit in the recliner to  do her stuff and I would sleep, but I will always miss that.   She helped me set up my Ipad and maybe God took her to help set up his Ipad..Staci had such a contagious happiness about her and her smile would just brighten your day. Staci worked at Wal-Mart, Disney and Allegiant and had contact with thousands of people and they will never know that after they had left her that they had been touched by an angel. She is now flying higher than ever on Heaven Airline flight  number 1203. and when my time comes I hope Staci is at the front of the line smiling and welcoming me  for flying with her today. Staci you will always have a special place in my heart and I will  always love you. Uncle Clay

Staci shared with me the need to text people to stay in more frequent contact
and remind them how much you love them. She also reminded me of the important fun things in life like naming your car, smiling big in every picture you take, and reaching out for love like leaping into the air to fly. I was blessed to have been a part of her life!
                                                                   Ben Loyd (Auburndale, FL)

Staci was one of the warmest and caring people I know. She always had a smile and willingness to serve others. She was an encouragement to many and lived out her Christian life showing people that she loved God and followed Jesus Christ! I remember when Staci was in flight school and she was nervous about making the jump out of the training plane unto the emergency chute. We talked on the phone the night before and she said "I can do anything with God's help!" We prayed that night and she reported the next day that she did great!  Praise God she never had to use the chute during her time performing a job she loved and appreciated. Staci will be missed by her Uncle Danny!  See you in Heaven!

My Dear Sweet Sue,
     You're on my heart and mind all the time. Praying for you. I have been meaning to call you and forgive me that I haven't. I wanted to be sure to tell you what a blessing you are dearly. I know your heart is in a zillion pieces missing your sweet baby girl Staci. The brightest star. That gorgeous smile and what a life she lived to shine His light so bright! Wow. Her Celebration of Life was fabulous. I can see her at the feet of Jesus smiling and hugging Him and telling Him she loves Him. 
   One day soon we will all be  together again. I hardly can fathom. 2017 in June will be 27 years my sweet Clayton went to heaven. Sue, we have grateful hearts and that will see us thru. Counting our blessings one by one. I wish I could take your grief away. But this is your journey and I can't But I can be there for you. Well, not there But from here. I just love you. 
   I will call you tomorrow after church sometime. 
   May this new year bring you special moments of joy and special times with those you love!!!

Staci with an I is how you first introduced yourself to me and as an only child, you had always been like a sister that I felt God forgot to give me & I'm truly going to miss celebrating special moments together like our Birthday's & Christmas as the years go on. I'll never forget the day that we auditioned for Entertainment @ Magic Kingdom after working together in Tomorrowland & for Parade Audience Control for 6 months! Our roadtrip to see Shania Twain in Jacksonville while singing our hearts out to Lila Mccann, George Strait, Tim Mcgraw & Faith Hill etc. Carpooling to & from work a ton together & CMT Marathons & Gators Galore...They were your favorite. In addition to our line dancing sessions @ Cowboys, trying to master the Watermelon Crawl & many others @ Neon Armadillo, Our line dancing team @ The Wildhorse Saloon...and that night that we saw Jo Dee Messina in concert & got pictures with her, or riding the mechanical bull @ 8secs, which is now Church H2O~With 20 years of friendship and sisterhood...I have SO many wonderful memories of us that I'll always treasure forever...and even though you're now in Heaven, you'll never be far from my mind or heart!~I love you Stac~bestie's, & extended family always & you'll always be my alltime favorite chipmunk! XOXO

What a precious, beautiful, real and genuine young lady...You so exemplify the love of Christ to all who have the privilege of knowing you...Thank you for being HIS Light in this world, in which we live...You are a true Joy an Inspiration to us all...We will miss you and yet a part of you will live on in the many lives you've touched...Your sweet Momma is "one in a million" and because children learn what they live, we received the blessing of the many things you all have taught us throughout your journey...Trust...Faith...Peace...to name a few...For this, we are grateful...Hopefully we can remember when our time comes..Your prayers and words of encouragement have also been a blessing to us....We love you and will meet you in the morning...

Allthough I never met Staci, my heart is forever touched by her love of Jesus, family and friends . Precious Staci....till I meet you in Heaven, I'll try hard to be a loving example of Gods grace and mercy....just as you lived it



Paula Martin Heather I don't know what to say. She had such an impact on so many people. God has the brightest angel and I know she will watch over all of us. Rest in Peace sweet Staci you are no longer in pain

As you go about your day today please think about my sister, Heather, and the family of her best friend who has just passed away from pancreatic cancer. Hug your loved ones a little tighter today. Staci Griffin, I didn't know you all that well but I can tell how great of a person you were by your lasting impact on the lives of those around you.



Heather Jones
December 3, 2016  

My heart is heavy and my eyes won't stop watering. I am so thankful you are in the best place. I can see you dancing and laughing and praising Jesus. That gives me some peace. You will forever be a part of my heart. I am thankful for the friendship we shared and blessed to have you in my life for the time that was given to me. I continue to pray for healing hands to hold your family and friends. Now it is our turn to be strong for you as you was for us in your battle. I love you always Staci Griffin.


Today don't take anything for granted, be happy with life and have faith. God is good and he has a plan. We don't understand and get upset. Please pray for Staci Griffin 's family, and all her friends including Heather Jones . She passed away this morning and she impacted a lot of people. It's truly awful and cancer sucks so much! So many are heartbroken today that need praying and healing.

Terri Adair 

Still in a state of shock... not ready yet to have my friend Staci leave us... but this morning she made it to her final destination - to her heavenly Home. Right now I can imagine the angels gathering around rejoicing and our Savior that Staci loved is wrapping his arms around her and welcoming her. Her pain and suffering are gone and we are thankful for that! Please lift up her family in prayer and her many friends as well. 
Staci... you will be missed! 
So many memories of our Flight Attendant Training... but I can't help but think of Marcus, Heather and Ryan when I think of Staci. My prayers are with you guys too today.

Precious in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints, so said David. This is Staci Griffin. The young lady for whom we have been praying. The Lord answered our prayers for complete healing early Saturday morning by escorting her into his presence. Staci no longer suffers from anything! The tears and grief were left with us as her family and friends adjust to a new landscape without her. 
 This family is broken by this tremendous loss.
The funeral will be attended by many people with whom Staci worked. She was a flight attendant and a character at Disney (actually Staci was a character everywhere!!). Sue has asked that we pray for the salvation of any of her friends and co-workers who might not know the Lord. This funeral might be the only chance they get to hear the Gospel. Thank you again!

I'll never forget your beautiful smile, your raspy, nasally laugh, or your infectious kindness for others. Thank you for being my "lil Sis". I love you.  with Staci Griffin.

What a journey and it is over here on Earth... Staci Griffin. The sweetest, kindest, soul and bravest human I've ever known! We all will miss you Staci. Anyone who really took time to know you, felt your heavenly kindness. This last picture of us when you did light duty at Allegiant I thought you were your bubbly self and thought Yay- but then God had other plans to fly you to heaven. I know that you believed as we have shared our Faith so many times. Also you are like the only person that ever sent Christmas cards at work and I found this in my Bible. I love you Staci, you were a true friend; but I will see you again "when we all get to heaven". For those of you whose Faith was not as Strong as Staci, you will never find a better "Living Testimony than Staci Griffin! I am missing you but will see you again .God Bless all who read this

So, I was thinking about why the news of Staci passing has hit me so hard. We weren't super close. We only saw each other once or twice a year (except on Facebook). And then it hit me. Staci was one of the first people I met in Entertainment. It was my first day out of training and I was scheduled to help some little mice at the Grand Floridian dinner. Staci was my partner. She helped me find all my costume pieces, showed me to the van and assured me that our Prince Patrick would show me the rotation and take good care of us on set. She even came out into the restaurant before set as well to give me some tips. She did all this with a huge, welcoming smile on her face. I watched in awe as she was able to get herself COMPLETELY into costume without ANY help. Over the years I strived to be that self-sufficient and am proud to say I followed in her footsteps and had very few costumes that I needed help with. Staci was the first person that welcomed me into entertainment with open arms. She was the one that showed me what entertainment should be like; a family, helping each other, there for each other. Thank you Staci for showing me all the kindness that you could.

My dear friend, Staci Griffin, lost her courageous battle with cancer this morning. Staci demonstrated such incredible strength and dignity throughout this entire ordeal; she always thought that she could beat it, and if anyone could actually beat such a horrible, horrible disease, it was her. I am proud to have called her my friend. She touched my life and all those who were fortunate to come into her life. The video below is my tribute to my friend. I love you

I'll never forget how you stayed up with me on the phone during my training in Vegas for hours, drilling me and coaching me on every bit of information I needed to know that was necessary for me to pass, I'll never forget how you would check up on me the night before, the morning of, & right after my exam ...I could hear your voice now, "Shenelle, you almost gave me a heart attack making me wait two break periods to hear if ya passed, you're my babies, I gotta make sure your good"...haha...Then finally getting my Wings and we cried tears of joy together, then to meeting in person when you TDY'D in PIE, you took time out of your day to teach me once again the allegiant life once on the other side, encouraging me to transfer to SFB & have you on speed dial..It was because of GOD & You that I am part of the Allegiant Family....Thank you for stepping up to the plate and being the best Mentor you could be when my original wouldn't...Wouldn't have traded you for the world...Now no more fighting, & endure no more suffering,  May you sleep in peace ... RIP Staci Griffin

Priscilla Marie Colon

Daphney Dragone You are in my thoughts and prayers. We have been enriched by Staci's love, compassion and energy for life. God is great and I know he is holding her right now as she enters Heaven' gate! Now she can dance with the angels!

Doyle Eldridge Sue, God gave you a wonderful gift in Staci. She was loved by everyone. But God loves her way more than us! I know He was so glad to have her finally home. She is more alive today than she has ever been!! No pain! Praise God for her promotion but we will all miss her so much! See you soon Staci.

Warren Brown  
Our prayers have all been answered. Maybe not in the way we might have liked here on earth. But answered according to HIS PERFECT WILL. As Christians we can rejoice with the multitudes of heaven at her homecoming. Thank you Jesus for your abiding love and grace! Amen!!! ❤


Wendy Melai Kennedy We will always remember her love and compassion for her family, her friends, and life! I will miss her immensely! Thank you Sue, for opening your house day and night for visitors. You're an amazing lady and Teesa, Hoss, and Madelyn are loved by many as we've come to know them also!

We can only say we Love you all and pray for God's arms to wrap you in his Love

Teddy Mack Stoffregen
   Our deepest sympathies to you and your family. Staci was always so kind to me. She was a beautiful young lady.   Our prayers are with you all.

I'm Friends with Staci Griffin  

God bless all of you! I had the distinct privilege of calling Staci my friend and saw her only 30 days ago at a trade show that her aunt was doing at my hotel and we got to spend time together. Please know that although we are all sad we are so happy that her pain is over and we love her beyond belief. I thank God for blessing me in meeting Staci when we're were teens and were able to keep in touch all these years. This was the last time I saw this sweet angel!

Brendaliz Da Rosa In so so so sorry for your loss sue! I know she in a better place and I know that God will give you and your family the strength that you need to keep moving on with life.

Heather Ruffley
  Sue,  I am so sad for your loss Sue, Staci will always be loved and missed by everyone she met she was so special. Love to you and the family.

 So so sorry Sue and family. I will be praying for you all. Love you

Lisa Emery Corbett  
I was blessed to have known Staci since middle school. She was an amazing woman with so much love for everyone she met and such an infectious smile. You couldn't help but to also smile when you were with her. She was an amazing friend, daughter, sister, and aunt, and we are all better for having known her. My heart breaks for your family during this time of intense sadness and I offer you my deepest condolences on the loss of this beautiful soul. Fly high, Staci, fly high! 
This quote from Edward Bok epitomizes Staci, as she has done just what it says: Make you the world a bit better or more beautiful because you have lived in it.

Chrissie Augustin Velez  
There are no words to even say to make u all feel better. But please know I'm thinking of u all .I'm so so sorry  she was such a great person in school and even hanging out at our 20year reunion, she never changed ! Rip beautiful Staci Griffin

Sue Griffin, my heart and thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you grieve for your sweet daughter. I have been praying for Staci ever since I saw the posts on Facebook about her battle with pancreatic cancer. My prayers have been answered, not in the way I hoped but in God's perfect will. I remember Staci as a little girl who was always so sweet and kind. She most certainly grew up into a lovely Christian woman. May our dear Lord dry your tears and hug you heart as you go through these difficult days ahead. How wonderful that we can all know exactly where Staci is at this moment and know that she is healed completely! God is so good


    Staci was such a beautiful special friend. Our prayers are with you all that God's peace and comfort will be ever present. Our love to you and your family.

Sue, my love, prayers and strength are with you and your family. Your amazing daughter was a gift for so many and I was fortunate to have had so many treasured and life- changing moments with her and because of her. Her infectious smile, eternal optimism, and unwavering support and understanding through life's ups and downs were just a few traits that reminded us all what a unique treasure she was. I was so close to Staci for a significant and impressionable period of time that I can't begin to explain the impact she had on me- just that my life's course and outlook were altered and reinforced for the better because of her. Thank you Sue for giving us an angel here on earth for 39 years. Staci will sorely be missed. Until soon and with endless love and appreciation , Frankie

Sandy Fowler
   I am so saddened by this news. And yet I take comfort in knowing she is now in the presence of the her loving Lord ..... I pray that you and all her family and friends will too. She was truly a magnificent reflection of Gods love

Today Heaven has gained a new angel. Staci Griffin , thank you for the smiles and laughter and for being such an inspiration to all that you came in contact with. You will be truely missed on this earth. You fought this horrible cancer with courage, strength and grace and now may you rest in peace...no more suffering. Prayers for peace and comfort for her family and all that knew and loved her. Your smile will forever be with us as your wings now have you flying high above us. Rest in Peace Staci.

Deanna Olvera

This sweet girl who had an infectious smile and a heart of gold touched so many lives with her kindness. I know the best tribute we could give her is to continue her legacy of love. One less light on earth but heaven is brighter today. You'll be missed sweet Staci Griffin.

Life really doesn't make sense sometimes. Her ability to remain positive and gracious while overcoming hurdle after hurdle dealing with this disease was amazing.
Nobody had a bigger heart and cared more about others than
Staci Griffin. She loved everyone. ❤

Tonight we say goodbye. It feels like you have gone on vacation and it's just been a few days since we have spoken. I look forward to sharing memories of you with everyone who loves you so deeply, but I am afraid to face the reality of your passing. Please watch over us and we will always have a piece of you in our hearts. Until we meet again we love you Staci Griffin may you rest in piece.

Staci, you are so loved. SO loved. You have had such a positive impact on SO many people, all over the world, from all walks of life. There are very few people that special. You truly are. I am incredibly lucky to have spent the summer of 2011 with you---one of my only consistent memories of working at Disney. You have shaped so many of my Disney memories and I thank you a thousand times over for those moments. I remember how excited you were when you found out you were finally going to be an aunt. The best auntie ever. And you are. 
You are magical. You made my experience magical. And I am lucky to have known you. 
Love always, 
Mrs. Groban

I just found out that my most beloved friend of 30 years passed away from pancreatic cancer this morning..my heart is broken beyond words and all I can do is think about her sweet face. All the times she layed in my bed and we talked for hours. All the times we danced. All l the times we texted funny or sad things and car ride phone calls. She was here for our wedding last and we were so honored for her to say our blessing..Staci was as close to a sister as one could ask for without having come from the same family..Whenever she needed hair and makeup, she came to me..we always came back to one another.. my sadness is that I couldn't see her in the last few months and have had to rely on phone and I know she was stronger than anyone could have guessed. I know I had 30 years with this angel but that wasn't long enough for me. I'll miss my Staci more than anyone could know.. I'll tell our baby about her and show him pictures because there are so many. I love you Staci..I'll always love you and I'll always miss and think of you. I know I'll see you again.

Lee Copenhaver I'm shocked and saddened to hear of Staci's passing. But I am relieved that she is now free of the pain she was experiencing. My heart goes out to the Griffins and the Howells this morning. I'm sorry to hear of their loss. Everyone that knew Staci is experiencing a great loss this morning

Sharon Booker Richards My heart broke when I read this, but what a great testimony Staci showed through the transition from this world to her heavenly home. God's Grace is sufficient!!!! Love and prayers for you all

Jackie Wood Words cannot express my feelings, God has a new angel today, Staci has earned her wings in heaven, what a testimony she and all of you have been, mo more pain and suffering, love and prayers.

Lisa Smith-Wood We love you so much Sue. Your testimony is incredible, you have shown undescribable grace...

Jeff White So sorry to hear. Knowing we prayed Thy Will we not only claim His will but trust His comfort and peace for you all now. Please let us know how we can help but trust we are praying. Love you all.

I met Staci at Wildhorse almost 15 years ago. She was one of the sweetest women I had ever met. She welcomed me and a couple friends into her circle and taught us every dance we wanted to learn. I still see her smiling at me across the dance floor when I would just stand there cuz I didn't know how to do the 8 counts of applejacks that the song called for. She came and visited me here in Michigan shortly after I moved back home (one of only a few friends I kept in touch with from Florida) and I will hold those memories in my heart for the rest of my life. My heart goes out to you, her family and all her friends for the great loss we have all suffered. You are in my thoughts and prayers. God bless.

Lindsey Nicole Thinking of you guys ... Miss Sue We love you. Staci was a true warrior she fought hard and she loved hard too. Glad u got those beautiful pics  Love all of you guys Teesa Marie Howell Hoss and Miss Sue .....

Sherlie Hill Bass Oh my what a grand entrance she made with that beautiful smile. I'll bet she went right up and just hugged our Lord Jesus. Love you all and praying.

Ann McConnell Vaughn Your family has taught us all how to live and praise God every moment of every day. I love you all and am praying for peace and comfort

Jimmy Franks Amazed at God's Grace seen in you and your precious family.

Teesa Marie Howell, Hoss Griffin, Kirk Howell and I have been so blessed to have Staci Griffin for 39 plus years. ... We asked God for a miracle and He gave us that miracle at 2:00am this morning. . With very heavy hearts we watch Staci leave this world of pain and God gave her, her new wings to go home to her new wonderful home in heaven... we are heart broken that we had to say goodbye, but so blessed to have been loved by Staci... 
We would like to thank everyone for being so wonderful, you too are a blessing. We don't know yet what time or day her funeral will be, I'm hoping for Thursday evening in Winter Haven, Fl at our Church, Heartland. But I will know more tomorrow and we will pass the on that information tomorrow in the afternoon after church. Please join us in praising God for all the blessings that he came to us through Staci. I know God gave her a big welcoming home as she got there...Thank you once again and we love you all.

Okay so I just wanted to share this, I've been thinking about it all day. Last night on the plane I look out the window to see this star it was shining so bright. I just kept looking at it thinking how is there only one star it doesn't make sense...all of the sudden I get this overwhelming picture of Staci in my head and it wouldn't go away, I started thinking about her and her life and what an impact she made on not only my life but SOO many others. I said in my head "I love you Stacj I will never forget you" after that, it was about 5 minutes, I got another picture of her waiving by with that big smile she had!!! Also... look at the sky... orange and blue, gator colors Keeping you all in my prayers always I love you guys

DEAR Staci Griffin,
Staci, Mom misses you bunches... I know you are to busy loving every minute of heaven, and I am so happy you are. I try to visualize what you are doing all the time. I try to think what you are saying and who you are saying it to. I wonder who in the Bible you met first, and if you have a favorite. I try to figure out how you decide who to talk to next or what you are going to go to next, what are you seeing that here on earth we have no idea was there in heaven.. I wonder what you thought when you seen Jesus for the first time.. there is so much I want to know, I wish I could just call you and ask you all these questions... but the one thing I do know your smile is all over your beautiful face. So many people have told me, "I'll never forget her smile." 
I love you baby, you keep being happy in heaven till I get there... I pray you are the first face I see when get to heaven, right after Jesus that is.... I miss you so much Staci I just want to hold you so much, but I know I will someday... I love you so much, thank you for loving me so much. Thank you for taking such good care of me.. it was my honor to be you momma.... I know there no time in heaven, but Happy New Year......

This girl called me Mom, but she wasn't mine. She called every Mother's Day, texted and called throughout the years over many years. She put up an amazing fight against cancer. Heaven is sweeter this morning because she is there. Please pray for her family and friends. I wil always love you, Baby!

Bob Davis One day we will all understand, but today there is pain , and for me, sadness that such a beautiful soul is gone, I did not know Staci, but I know she will be missed and that her knowing Jimmy Franks meant she had a relationship with heavenly Father!! God speed to her family and friends.

Karen Buie Williams Her very best day so far! How great to know that she is now 100% healed and living in a perfect place.
What a testimony her life had on so many. I'm thankful to know that God will bring comfort and peace to the hearts of her family and friends. He has promised!
Visioning her first sight of entering Heaven is a comfort in itself. How truly beautiful it has to be.

Kim Hollowell Clemons I prayed for a miracle yesterday. I see that Staci has witnessed the greatest of all miracles. A loving Saviour, the place He prepared and the rest in His arms. Praise His Name. Sending my love and Prayers now for all she left behind. I look forward to meeting her in person one day soon.

Barbara Jones I can imagine her big smile as she sees the wonders that God has prepared for her! Rejoicing in knowing she is with her Father! Praying for those left behind!

Amanda Jayne The Lord took her home to heal her...What an impact she was on this earth! 'Well done thy good and faithful servant'...we will see you soon..praying for comfort for her family and the many that knew and were touched by her.

Alice Wooten Ramsey We all prayed for complete healing. God honored He takes the best flowers from the garden and Staci is completely healed.

Sherry Johnson Cozart Our hearts join yours in this moment. I say the same thing I did when our son was killed. God is good and he will hold us through this storm. We love you and fell in love with Staci at first meeting.

Praying for you and your family as well as Staci's family. What a testimony she left and I'm convinced people are closer to the Lord and have a stronger faith because of her!! She left a mark on this world that we all hope to leave someday. She will be missed by all. Love you guys

Staci finished strong early this morning! Her last words to me, her family and to her friends that came to see her were, I Love You..The name Staci means " Resurrection ". So now we await that promised hour when see Jesus coming in Glory and the dead in Christ rise first and we that remain here will be caught up to meet the Lord in the air. Then we will all be together forever!!!

I will forever be thankful that Staci asked me to speak at the celebration of her life and she let me be a part of her family.

After 8 months of praying for God to have His way even though we asked Him to heal Staci. God said NO to healing her here for a greater YES. He not only healed her there, she gets to spend Christmas in heaven with her Saviour ! We will meet again.
