I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with the family.
Stasie was a wonderful niece to have. While I was growing up in St Petersburg her parents would come during the summer and we would have a wonderful time going out in the boat and waterskiing. Later on, Debbie and Dan moved to Seminole and Stasie's grandmother moved nearby. It was a lot easier getting together when my mother was so close to the Eggleston's. Growing up, Stacie had a lot of responsibiliy watching over her younger sibilings. I remember when Chelsea was born and what a beautiful baby she was and how Stasie loved her little girl. I remembered the day in 2004 when the family gathered on St Pete Beach and discussed the family and the stories of individuals that had gone before us. I watched the interaction Stasie had with Chelsea, who was ten as the time, and the love between them.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Chelsea.
Stasie has always had a special place in my heart since she was the one responsible for my becoming an aunt at age 9. I remember my parents were so proud of their first grandchild. She and I were closer in age than her father, my brother, and I were. One of my best memories of Stasie took place a long time ago - when she was around 12 - 13 years old. I went to upstate New York, West Point, where she lived to spend Christmas with the family. On Christmas Eve, we went into New York City to shop and attended mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral. On the way home, it started to snow. For me, born in the tropics and living in Florida and Texas, snow was a big deal - a novelty. It snowed all night and the next day, Christmas was postcard perfect. It was a wonderful holiday and I remember that she and I stayed up late talking and bonding. She was asking my advice on teen girl topics and for me - the baby of my family, it was great to play the role of big sister. She will be missed greatly and leaves a hole in our hearts.
My parents were proud and happy when their first grandchild, Stasie, was born. I remember my father carrying his first granddaughter through the door of our apartment. Stasie innocently grabbed the door chain and swung it. It broke my father tooth, but to my father his granddaughter was more precious than any tooth. As she grew she took on the responsibility of looking out for her younger siblings. She gave them guidance, support and love. She will be missed by her family.
To one of my dearest friends I will ever have. We have been through so much together. You were my nacho buddy and my friend that always had time to listen and give advice. I first met you at your bachelorette party,then met you again when I was out with Loretta. We bonded and have been Musk-a-pumps ever since.I remember visiting you and Chelsea when you brought your baby girl home from the hospital. What will I do without my dear friend to laugh with. I can't wait to get to heaven and hear your wonderful laugh.Bet you are entertaining God as we speak. I LOVE YOU GIRLIE ALWAYS!!! I will keep an eye on that wonderful daughter of yours. I know that you were so very proud of her and so am I. I will forever be there for her when she needs me. Until we meet again in Heaven, I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO MUCH MY SWEET GIRL!!!!! XXXXXOOOO
I had the pleasure of spending a weekend in Ft. Meyers/Key West with Stasie, we had a great time. We use to lunch together often, hours spent listening to her tell stories about her daughter and the dance classes and soccer games. She lived for her daughter. I am shocked that she is gone. I am sad for the daughter she loved so much.
I love you. You worked so hard to give me everything I had. You came to every soccer game and even sat through those ridiculous four hour long dance recitals. I know in my heart that you did the best you could possibly do and for that, I greatly appreciate everythiny you've done for me. We had our rough patches but we went through them and in the end the outcome never changes..I still loved you and you still loved me. I know your looking down smiling on me. I can honestly say I know your proud of the descisions I have made throught this whole thing. Listening to your voice mails will never replace you calling me sweety pie baby pumpkin head or when you sang to me Brown Eyed Girl by Jimmy Buffet. You've raised me to be a wonderful young woman. I love you and I miss you more than words can explain.
