JAMES ROBERTSON, OCTOBER 11, 2016 To my old best friend, Stacy Wagner It takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, and a day to love them, but it takes an entire lifetime to forget them. It's hard to forget someone who gave me so much to remember. This isn't goodbye, it's just a different kind of HELLO! MATTHEW MARTIBEZ, OCTOBER 7, 2016 Stacy was one of our dearest friends. She had such a beautiful personality. She will be sorely missed. Heaven gained a beautiful Angel. We love you, Stacy! ANNETTE SCOLARO AND ALMA VIA, OCTOBER 7, 2016 Stacy was our friend and neighbor and we so enjoyed knowing her. She always had a smile and laugh, her laugh was so special and contagious! We got such a big kick of her "projects" that she and Laura had to make their home the prettiest in the neighborhood, she would come over and consult with Jim to see just how to make something, then she would go and tackle it! She was such a light and we will miss her so much. She was an inspiration and a warrior woman and so very special. JODI FOSTER AND JIM HENDERSON, OCTOBER 6, 2016 I am so sorry for your loss. Stacy was always quick to send me a joke or share something funny she was watching on the internet. She was a beautiful lady with a beautiful smile.
CATHY SHARP, OCTOBER 6, 2016 My heart goes out to the family of Stacy. This includes her partner, as I believe she is considered family. I had the pleasure of meeting Stacy through her wonderful mother. Stacy loved her mother. Betty was so proud of the beautiful, talented, intelligent, and loving woman she became. Betty would make multiple comments about how wonderful she was. I told Betty that she did a wonderful job raising her and making sure Stacy had the resources, etc to make sure Stacy being deaf would not hold her back. There may have been challenges, but Stacy excelled. I pray for everyone who is suffering this loss. I could not imagine losing my child and my heart breaks. Betty, you were very important to Stacy, and I'm thinking of you during this heart wrenching time. I'm here if you need me.

SARAH TREUER, OCTOBER 4, 2016 Stacy was truly one in a million. She was a tireless and cheerful worker that I had the priveledge to manage at L-3 Communications on the TI S/C site in Dallas. I'm certain she has a reserved place where there are no more tears or suffering. ROBERT WRIGHT, OCTOBER 4, 2016 Such a sad and tragic loss at such a young age. Stacy was a pleasure to work with and always in a good mood. Passing her in the hallway here, a smile and/or a "thumbs up" from her would say it all. She will be missed and we pray for her partner and family. MARK ALMAN, OCTOBER 4, 2016 To The Wagner Family, My Prayers are with you always.

Stacey had a Heart of Gold, I will truly miss her, but I Thank God every time I think about her for bring this "Angel" into my life. May God Always Bless and Watch Over Your Family!! ANGELA FORD, OCTOBER 4, 2016 My deepest condolences in the passing of Stacy. It came to a surprise, although I'm not surprised about how well she was loved and admired by many. I remembered her when I was a freshman and she was a Senior at W.W.Samuell H.S. - her beaming smile and confidence was contagious and inspiring especially for a newcomer like I. She stood tall as a fierce tennis player and excelled in many things. May her memory be eternal and rest in peace.

star which would be Stacy with her smiles looking back at us. One day we will see you again.
