Thank you doesn't seem like enough, I have been so shocked by the out pouring of love and support, for me and my girls....I can almost physical feel the thoughts and prayers....coming my way!! and I am speechless by the donations.....you really can't imagine how helpful...those are going to be right now...
For the friends who were at the funeral home just sitting quietly in the back....such a safe feeling...peeking back there knowing that you were there....knowing that you will be there...!! It's been one week this morning that I watched my Ed walk out that door for work......I never in a million years thought it would be last...but last night around midnight...I had this urge to search for his wedding ring....we were both not jewelry people....so I haven't seen either one of our rings..in at least 4 or 5 years.......and in the last little junk drawer.....sitting all the way back in the corner...was his ring!!! It's such a treasure....to find...and in my heart I want to think that he knew I needed it....So you will have to excuse some rambling in the next few weeks....blogging has always been a way for me to get stuff out off my head....So thank you all for everything!!!! I just can't believe how the scrapbook community has reached out to me and my girls.....all of you!!

So many people love you, Staci. Me, included.
You are still in my thoughts and prayers.
Staci,
I know that I haven't known you that long and I never met Ed, but I can see the love that you have for each other in your pages and blog, and I'm just so sorry this happened to you and the girls. I think about you guys everyday. And this has made me do a lot of thinking about myself and family! If I can help out at all, let me know. See you soon!

I just read the news on TS and wanted to send my most sincere sympathies to you. I always got a little smile reading your blog and profile because I married my high school sweetheart too, and I cannot even fathom the loss you are feeling. I will keep you and your girls in my prayers.
We have been so touched knowing you and your family through your scrapbook pages...I will always be there for you and your family, I am just an email away, anytime you need anything! Glad to know we did help in some small way, in a time when we all feel so helpless.
See you very soon, Sandi & Lori
I have been thinking about you each and every day...and sending up prayers. Your scrapbooks have done an amazing job of telling your family's story. Your children will cherish every page and moment captured with their dad. I am so sorry that I wasn't able to make it to the services, I promise I tried. Please know that I am here for you whenever you need me...I'm just a phone call or email away.
Totally wish I could be there.
I wish I had some words, but I am speechless.
I am so sorry.
Thank you for inspiring me as an artist, and I am praying for you and your family.
I am so sorry for you.
Staci,
You & your girls have been in my thoughts and I am praying daily for you! Sorry I was not able to make it on Wed. to the funeral home. Robin & I really wanted to come and support you and bring hugs, but unfortunately, were not able. I have always admired you & Ed because of the beautiful love you two shared. You two had something that many will never experience and that precious gift will always be with you! Your pages have told us such wonderful stories and have shown what a special man, husband and father Ed was!!!! Please know I am thinking of you and wishing you much love!!!
XOXOXO
I've been thinking about you everyday and praying for your family. My husband and I are high school sweethearts and I've loved seeing your pages about Ed... I could feel that puppy love that only high school sweethearts can maintain, and in that way, I feel connected to you. I can't imagine what you're going through... I am so sincerely sorry for your loss.

staci,
I just wanted to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. I am also married to my high school sweetheart and I cannot imagine the pain and grief you must be feeling right now. I have admired your work from day one at SIS and I feel like I know your family through your amazing stories and layouts. I hope that time can heal your pain and always know that you have a friend in me if you should ever need it.
take care.

Staci,
My heart goes out to you and your girls! I don't know what to say, other than I am thinking of you, and just hope the sun shines into your life! I am out here in Oregon, if you ever need a getaway... we live on a ranch.. a great place for peace and quiet...
Hugs!!
Just wanted you to know that my heart aches for you and with your family at this time. My own life was touched by grief suddenly in 2001....I know what it means to have people pray and care. I just want you to know that I do. More love and prayers and care for all of you.
Sweetly~ Jody Ferlaak, SIStv fashionista in MI {{hugs}}
Just wanted to stop by and let you know that you and your girls are in my thoughts and prayers tonight. My heart just aches because of the pain you are going through.
Staci--
You have been on my mind ever since I heard the news of your DH...I'm so sorry for your loss and hope that you'll find comfort in the weeks ahead. I have never met you, but have always admired your work as a scrapbooker, and your strong ties that were noticable in your family through your work. May you feel peace.

Staci,
Just wanted you to know that I've been keeping you and your family in my prayers!! We've never met, but we are SISters. Know that we are all here for you if you need us!!

So glad you found his ring, such a comfort! ((hugs))!!
Hey girl...glad to see you blogging. We don't mind if you want to ramble! We will listen! Glad you found Ed's ring. I saw it on your finger last night and figured that's what it was. So funny how a little band of metal can bring such comfort. We love you keep your chin up...

Staci, I'm not sure if we've met or not, but I think we have. I wanted to express my sincere sympathy to you. I know about the emotions you're going thru because I lost my mother unexpectedly on October 12, just 2 weeks before you lost your dear husband. It hurts like crazy to lose someone you love!
As I read about the news on your blog (which I found because I was reading the Scrappy Chic newsletter) my heart just broke for you. All I can really say (because I'm still going thru the grief process myself) is to let yourself grieve, don't hold it in. Also, it really helps to get out of the house, even if it's just short trips. I don't know why, but it does help.
I know what you mean about scrapping buddies being so great. I own my own message board and the girls on my forum have been phenominal. Lean on your scrapping friends because they can be such a comfort at a time like this. I think scrappers tend to be warm-hearted people who care deeply. It's such a blessing that you have so many friends to lean on.
I will be praying for you. Please know that even if we don't know each other personally, my heart goes out to you and your girls at this time. You will most definitely be in my thoughts and prayers.

Staci,
I am so sorry for your loss. I know your family best thru your wonderful scrapbook pages. And I am happy to know you personally.
I have been where you are after loosing Chris' dad, and although it is extreemly hard now it will get easier. You have many many friends and family who love you and they will help you through this. Don't be afraid to talk or even cry with them, that's what friends are for. I hope to see you my next visit to Scrappy Chic.
