          Kacy loved big with all of her heart.  She always chose to see the good in others.  Her heart led her into the field of special education.  She began in the classroom and ultimately reached the position of Assistant Director of Special Education of Conroe ISD.  In her time at Conroe, she touched the lives of all she encountered from students, staff, and parents.  Her legacy and passion for kids will carry on daily through the programs she created such as the TRAILS program.  It allowed students with special needs, training for skills needed to be successful after high school.  Through her knowledge, and training of staff and parents, she was able to reach a multitude of children and their families.

          The love and dedication she showed to her family and friends was beyond description.  Chad, Christian, and Dallas were the centers of her world and she felt so blessed to have them in her life, as they were blessed to have had her in theirs.  She loved her family and was a cherished sister and aunt to not only April and Kate, but so many others she loved like sisters.  Kacy will live on through the hearts of all she loved.
