I've known Sacy since elementary school, and through boosters at BRHS. I didn't know she was ill, and so sorry to hear this news. I pray His peace will be with you all.

I was so saddened to read about the passing of one of my high school friends, Sacy Alexander. She was such a dear person and fun to be with. I have not seen her in many years, but have only positive recollections of knowing her. She will be greatly missed. Prayers are extended to her family and friends.
