I had dated Lacey briefly and she was one of those rare people who was interesting on the outside as well as the inside. She was always upbeat and interesting, and a bit of a nerd as well (which is good, in my book). I haven't seen her in quite a while but I mourn her loss.
Lacey was one of my graduate teaching assistants, and she was so smart, kind, and capable. I send my heartfelt condolences to the family and all who love her.
I had the pleasure of working with Lacey during my five years at Northeastern. She was a bright person that was admired by all her students, her fellow PhD candidates, and the professors and staff. I was glad to have known her. She will be missed. I send my deepest condolences from my family to hers.
Mike,
I am saddened to hear of your loss. May God grant you great strength and courage to endure.
Respectfully,
Suzanne Sharp
Lacey was my lovely, bright PhD student. She was a gifted teacher and was nearing the completion of her PhD dissertation on Chinese politics. We at Northeastern University are deeply saddened by her passing.
Mike, Words cannot express the sorrow we feel for you and your family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. May God bless you and your family.
Lacey was a dear and wonderful cousin. I have the sweetest childhood memories of playing dress up and other games with her and Brie. I will always keep her close to my heart. My prayers are with my uncle Mike and my cousin Brie and the rest of our family.
Love always,
Suzanne
Lacey is the bright light in the evening sky, the sun above on a summer morning, the snow flake that falls on a cool winter day, an Angel always with us!
