Saying that her life would have never turned out the same without Zachary and addressing her teen pregnancy, Stacey said: "The truth is you changed my whole life. I could never have comprehended the light and love you would bring. At 17 years old the things they said about us, what they didn't know was that you were my beginning, my reason, my sole purpose to get up and do my absolute best."
