My dearest friend - so many ways to describe her - loving, supportive, relishing life - the list goes on and on.  She loved life.  She loved her family and friends.  You two beautiful young ladies were not only her greatest blessings, you were the precious loves of her life.  She was so very proud of you.

She was determined to overcome this unwelcomed beast that took over her body, many times saying her Mom beat it and so would she. When we talked about quality vs longevity, I don't have to tell you what she said - she wanted both and why not, she asked with this one certain smile she had for silly questions.  This response was so Tracie being Tracie.  Until she left us, she savored her every moment of life.

During our last telephone conversation, she told me she was so grateful to have you there, Kim, as you were such a blessing to her and so good for Ashlyn and Kylee. Your presence greatly helped put her at peace. 

She will be missed by everyone who knew her.  And less we forget, she will also be missed by her four legged family, including her grandpups, who knew her as Momma T. - a nickname she loved. 

She was such a beautiful soul.  As our lives goes on, may we all find comfort in our memories with her.  She will always live within our hearts.  I miss this very precious and dear friend of mine. 

Sending love and thinking of you during this time of loss,

Karen

Ashlyn, Kylee and Kimberly,

I am so very sorry for your loss. Tracie was such a bright, positive, caring and cheerful person. I enjoyed working with her and she brightened our office with her presence.  Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.  

With sympathy,

Cory Goriup
