It is difficult to describe such an amazing person in a brief newspaper article. Lacey was more than just a Little Flower athlete and classmate, she was a sister and friend. Lacey often appeared shy when first meeting people, but her friends can attest to her talkative nature and easy smile. No matter how close a person was to Lacey, she was always friendly and kind. Lacey did not have a mean bone in her body; she truly was a gentle soul. Her friends and classmates knew her distinct voice and unforgettable laugh from any other person. Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity once wrote "To love, and to be loved, the deepest of all human needs; it alone gives meaning and a sense of fulfillment to our lives." Lacey gave her love to everyone she touched. It was not always in a big way, sometimes a simple "Hey Girl!" from Lacey could brighten an entire day.

     There is no question that Lacey was loved by her family, her boyfriend, and her sisters at Little Flower and the entire school community. That is more love than most people receive in a lifetime. She was blessed, but more importantly, she blessed others with her life.
