December 25, 2013 will mark the fifth Christmas that the children of Stacey Burns will be without their mother and the rest of her family and friends will be missing her as well. Now the family is dealing with further loss and fathomless grief. I hope (and pray) on a daily basis that the reason I do not hear of any progress in solving Stacey’s murder is simply because I am “out of the loop” out here in Arizona. I have the feeling that this may not be the case and I would love to hear from someone who could reassure me that the police are closer to providing some solace to a devastated family. I can’t imagine the depth of sorrow as Christmas, 2013 approaches.
Meanwhile, a killer is able to celebrate holidays and birthdays and anniversaries as if nothing has happened. There is something dreadfully wrong with this picture.
Next, a progress report on Murder in a Small Town: The Tragic Death of Stacey Burns. . .

Chances are the killer is haunted as well. Maybe not at Christmas, but maybe each year on Mother’s Day. I can’t imagine otherwise…
Keep up the pressure with these kind of blogs; guilt feelings might roust the killer out!
Stacey’s family will never forget her; hopefully they can eventually find a place for their memories of her that brings them comfort. Forgiveness may come when they know who and why it happened, but then it will be with reservation, I believe. It’s so sad. You Duke, are doing what you can do and I hope that in time you will be rewarded for your persistence.
Stacey cannot pass to the other side until her killer comes forward and admits their guilt. She is confused as to why she was killed and also very concerned that her children be able to put this behind them and begin to heal. She is pleading to give them closure in the name of our Lord.She prays for forgiveness for the killer, and for her children’s hearts to heal with the memories of her love for them all. Amen.
This tugs at my heart, not only for that family and town, but for all who suffer pain and loss.
“May you be free from suffering, May your heart be open, May you be at peace.”
