Lacy was an angel on this earth and now she loves in Heaven. You will be missed Sista (the closest thing I ever had to a sister.
Lacy was such a sweet person. I just loved being in her presence. She loved our Lord and Savior and served Him well. She left such a fine upstanding legacy . We should all strive to be more like her. So sad to hear of her leaving her loved ones but may you find comfort in knowing you will join her again when our Lord calls you home. She is rejoicing with the Angels and praising our Lord with all those great saints that have gone on before. Love you guys.
Rest in the arms of Jesus sweet Lacy. You were truly one of a kind. Prayers for all the family.
Ginger, Mikayla, and family, we are so sad and so sorry for your loss. She was an amazing woman and raised an amazing daughter! You are all in our thoughts and prayers. We love you!
I love you so much. You will be in my thoughts forever. My heart goes out to Ginger& Chad and all of the family.
Miss Lacey was my best friend I live at Alexander Place way with her she was my neighbor she was my planting buddy we were all the time fiddling with plants she will be greatly missed I’ll have a hole in my heart for a while and missing those phone calls to check in to make sure each other is okay Miss Lacey you will never be forgotten you took me under your wing but I know you’re in a much much better place now
Love Cathy Phillips
She will always be my “Ma Lacy” when I moved into her building in 2011 she showed me love and compassion from day one. I never thought I could love someone as much as I love her. She always bragged on me and was quick to introduce me as her 3rd daughter..
I thank God for the memories we made that I now have held onto, I can think back and smile as I think of my dear sweet ma Lacy. I know she is in heaven right where she deserves to be. I imagine she walked through those pearly gates, head held high, no more pain. I thank God for every moment and every minute I had with my “Ma Lacy” ❤️
One of the sweetest Christian women I’ve had the pleasure to have in my life. She always had a kind word, a beautiful smile and warm heart. She was precious, complimentary and loving to my son with disabilities. Our loss…Heaven’s gain.
I miss my Aunt Lacy so much. I never called her Aunt because she was more like a sister. Lacy truly loved everyone and cared for everyone. Her smile would warm your heart. I am so thankful for the years we shared. Lacy is unforgettable and leaves a beautiful impression on those who knew her. She is rejoicing with the Lord and the loved ones waiting for her, free of pain, “The only scars in Heaven are on the hands that hold her now”. My heart aches for Chad, Ginger and the family. Always on my heart and in my prayers. Love you always, Lacy.
