Happy 50th Birthday to one of the most remarkable women I know, Stacie.
From Garment District, established in 2006, to Gramercy, you have always had the courage to take the path less traveled. You built businesses, created opportunities, supported others, and faced every “no” like it simply meant, not yet. You have grit, grace, impeccable style, and the rare ability to show up—coffee in hand and smile on your face—even when life feels heavy.
Today, here we are in Omaha, having raised our kids side by side and sending our oldest off to college. Watching the incredible young man you and Bradley have raised, including Ryder’s drive and entrepreneurial spirit, makes your legacy even more meaningful. Your children have learned by watching two hardworking, generous, resilient parents lead by example.
I am so grateful our kids have been friends since kindergarten—and that our friendship has only grown stronger through every season of life. Thank you for walking beside me through all of it.
Cheers to the woman who has always made the unknown look chic, the hard work look effortless, and friendship feel like home. You deserve to be celebrated today and every day. I love you, dear friend.
