FOR STACY

Balloon release planned for tragic Glasgow mum, 26, who died suddenly giving birth to baby boy

A BALLOON release has been planned in tribute to a “beautiful” mum who tragically died after giving birth.

Stacy Louise Joyce, 26, from Drumchapel, Glasgow, passed away after giving birth to baby boy Hunter on Saturday.

Now, her loved ones are planning a lantern and balloon vigil in her memory.

The release is set to take place at Belsyde Park in Drumchapel at 7pm on Sunday, December 1.

Close friend Allyson Burrell, who has organised the vigil, said: "That's where we spend most of our days when we were growing up.

"Would be lovely if everyone who loved her could make it along."

Stacy's friends and family have vowed to make it a "beautiful night" for the tragic mum.

And they've asked heading along to make sure balloons or lanterns being released are environmentally friendly and biodegradable as Stacy "would have preferred that".

One said: "To think this is where all our childhood memories are.

"Breaks my heart that this will be the reason everyone will be getting together again but she deserves a beautiful night."

We told earlier how Stacy's heartbroken dad led tributes to his beautiful daughter after the childbirth tragedy.

Distraught John Joyce said: "Our world has come crashing down like we as a whole family could never imagine.

"Stacey Louise Joyce was sadly taken from us while giving birth to a perfect wee, over eight pounds, healthy baby boy.

"We promise you one thing, Stacy, that wee stunner will be looked after like you'll never know.

"Fly high my princess. Love you more than you'll ever know."
