I recently experienced how the ripple effect continues to impact others who were involved in Stacey’s life and death. I visited Dr. John Carlson, aka Dr. Clayton in the story, who after twenty-four years easily recounted several poignant moments that took place during the trauma. His vivid memory of the last MRI and other neurological exams was touching. He shared with me that many of the staff who took care of Stacey would appreciate reading this memoir.

The medical team’s genuine care and involvement moves me. They were truly invested in their young patient. I’m thankful that my daughter and our family had those who displayed the love of God and became his instruments while caring for her needs.
