Stacey Rose Leondis, founder of the Foster Foundation, passed away on July 21, 2008. She was an optimistic and powerful force for all that is good in life. Stacey was fair and compassionate with everyone she met. She was intelligent, poised, beautiful and graceful. One could not help but to be struck by her extraordinary kindness and sense of purpose in life... which was to give to others.

We have received many letters telling us of acts of kindness that Stacey did which we were not aware of. Looking back, this was typical of Stacey, helping others, anonymously. Always humble and gracious, she was an inspiration to all who knew her.

She was twenty three years old and yet touched so many people in her short life. Stacey was a wonderful daughter, loving sister and a loyal friend. The world has truly lost a good soul and a strong, kind spirit for all that is honorable. We will continue her fight by expanding the good works of the Foster Foundation. We will not rest until her dream for children to be healed is a reality.
