JUST A BREATH
THE STORY OF LACY
"We were all reminded this past month
just how short our lives on this earth
can be. On Tuesday, September 6th, Lacy
was killed in an automobile accident.
Lacy was a caring daughter, sister,
granddaughter, friend, and she was also
a Campus Life student. She started
coming to Northeast Campus Life her
freshman year and throughout the next
few years kept in touch with Allison
Franzen through emails.
Allison has been with Campus Life for 8
years, 3 of those as a volunteer and 5
as a paid staff. She begins this year as
the Northeast High School and Mickle
Middle School.
Lacy was at Southeast for her junior
year, but back at Northeast for her
senior year. The day before her tragic
death she wrote Allison saying she was
happier than she had been in awhile and
was looking forward to getting back into
Campus Life. If you wonder how much
impact one person can have on another,
listen to what Lacy told Allison,
|
"I enjoy Campus Life so
much and I feel it'd be
really cool if I could find
a way to teach other kids my
age some of the things I've
learned about Christ this
summer. I feel like everyday
He starts to play a stronger
part in my life. I miss
seeing you on Mondays!...You
guys have lit up so many of
my Monday nights so I can
deal with the stress of the
rest of the week.... I'm
going to be around people
that care about me and care
about the same things I do.
I want kids to look up to me
like that someday."

We will never know the impact Lacy could
have had on those around her, but we can
make sure her passion and spirit for
Jesus doesn't die with her.
With the memory of her still strong in their
hearts and minds, the Northeast staff begins
a new year of Campus Life. They are looking
for every opportunity to meet others like
Lacy and build relationships with them that
will last far into eternity."
