Stacey Reynolds Obituary

Every tree planted in her name is another breath for Stacey.

Dear Stacey, you are forever in our hearts. You inspired so many people with your kindness, sparkling smile and gentle knowing. We are creating a living sculpture with plants and apple trees in our Simple Balance Community Healing Garden in your honor. With unending love from all of your Simple Balance family. You will always be our special angel and guide.

To Tom, Aleks, Kassia & Koby,

I hope you know how many people Stacy touched with her kindness, creativity, and spirit. It was a pleasure to work with her at pre-school, and just know her as a friend. She put her heart into everything she did. I was always so impressed by her calm demeanor, her positive attitude, her dedication to martial arts and your neighborhood. She inspired me to eat healthier after she shared some wonderful vegetables that she bought from an organic farm. I hope she knew how important she was to this world. One person really can make a difference.

Stacey will be a lifelong source of inspiration for me.

I am deeply saddened by the news of this loss. I knew Stacey from our and our children's shared years at the Elgin Parent Co-op Preschool where she selflessly gave of her time and energy to the benefit of all. She was a dedicated and loving mother who led by example. Her presence among us will be missed. My thoughts go out to her beautiful family and friends at this time. May you find solace in the knowledge that Stacey touched many lives in both big and small ways -- but always in positive ways. She will be remembered.

Farewell, sweet Stacey. I will miss your grace and beauty, I will remember your glow.

I am a better person for knowing you.

And so.... the kingdom of heaven is now made even more beautiful. This is a woman whom I've not had the pleasure to meet but who cultivated her garden so fully. Many people do much less in half the time here on Earth. God Bless all of you who knew and loved her.

I am very sorry for your loss. Stacey was a very gentle person. I am praying for your family.

Stacey was a kind, gentle, loving, caring, beautiful and talented person. Our lives have been blessed from knowing her. Our prayers go out to Carole and Family and Tom and Family.

Stacy always had a smile on her face. Such a nice person who cared deeply for people and Mother Earth. We will plant a tree in her honor in our yard.

Stacey has been a dear and inspiring person to know, lighting up a room with her smile, bringing people together to do great things, and expressing love and care in everything she has ever done. May your joyful memories bring you peace.

I'll never forget the times you helped me work out at the black belt academy. You always had a smile on your face and were always able to make people smile. You will be missed.

Mrs. Reynolds will be missed physically, but she will be present in a lot of plants, trees, and memories. She was also one tough black belt. Indomitable Spirit all the way. Mr. McCurdy

Thank You God for lending us your Daughter for this short time. Very rarely do we get the honor of knowing someone who is as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. Stacy, You are one in a million!

For what is it to die but to stand naked in the wind and to melt into the sun?
And what is it to cease breathing, but to free the breath from its restless tides, that it may rise and expand and seek God unencumbered?

Only when you drink from the river of silence shall you indeed sing.
And when you have reached the mountain top, then you shall begin to climb.
And when the earth shall claim your limbs, then shall you truly dance.
K. Gibran

Good-bye Stacey! Not only you, but your whole family remain in our hearts and prayers.
The Stepnowski Family
