I first met Tracy in high school. She was a kind fun loving friend then. We reconnected on Facebook and it was just like we had never lost touch- true friend right there. I was so very heart broke to hear of your passing !!! You loved your kids and your grandkids were a treasure to you. You loved them so much as well as your mother . You spoke of all of them often. I miss our talks. You were a great woman and I am blessed to have called you my friend. You are an Angel and I love and miss you my friend !!!
