Personal note from Tracy

Memorial Service will be Saturday, October 4, 2025 from 3pm to 4pm. Services will be held at White River Lake, Texas. Address is 54 Davidson Creek, Spur, TX 79322.

We will have a casual, family-friendly dinner and gathering at Mamarita's at 7pm in Lubbock. That should give everyone enough time to get from White River Lake to Lubbock (about 50min) and settle in before dinner. Mamarita's is located at 6602 Slide Rd # 1, Lubbock, TX 79424.
