Lacey Ann

I was 12 years old when Lacey came into my life. Born on Christmas Day in 2015, she quickly became so much more than a pet—she was family. At the time, we were living in New York with the military, and from there, she traveled with us all over the country, adapting to every new place right by our side.

When I later joined the military, Lacey continued that journey with me and my spouse, sharing in every move, every new home, and every chapter of our lives together. She loved car rides, long hikes, and exploring the world through her nose, always taking in every scent around her. No matter where we were, she made it feel like home.

Every night, she slept at my feet, a quiet, constant comfort that I will miss more than words can say. She was our world, and losing her feels like losing a piece of myself.

Lacey is deeply missed by all of us, myself, Anika, my husband Austin, and her fur brother Zeke. She will forever hold a place in our heart
