Tracey's obituary
*Please share with friends and family. With your help, sharing this page will be our best chance at attaining our goal to help Tracey's family. Thank you all in advance*
My name is Greg Bishop and I work with Leland Ehrenfried at Heineken USA. Leland is a great colleague and friend who always goes above and beyond to help others.
Leland and Tracey met, surprisingly, in a bar and got married in 2004. They have two beautiful daughters, Lena, who is 13, and Amelia, who is 10. Tracey was a loving wife and mother who enjoyed volunteering, traveling, music, and spending time with family & friends. She was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2022 and fought bravely for over a year until she passed away on September 24, 2023.
Leland is now a single dad who has to take care of his daughters while working full-time. Before Tracey's passing, as a group at Heineken USA, we communicated the intention to raise money for her children's education with the hopes it provided a little peace of mind to her with that portion of her children’s lives being looked after.
That’s why we are asking for your help. We have set up a crowdfunding campaign to raise money for Lena’s and Amelia college fund. Our goal is to raise $100,000 by December 31, 2023. Every dollar counts and will make a difference in their lives.
Thank you for taking the time to read our story and for considering making a contribution. We are very grateful for your generosity and compassion.
Together, we can help Amelia and Lena achieve their dreams and honor Tracey’s memory. Please share this story with your friends, family, and coworkers. Thank you for your support.
