My Darling Daughter. It's been five years this month since your passing and I have to say you were the best of Mothers. Having to raise a wonderful son with challenges, you were so patient, kind, understanding and loving. And I have told both Ryan and Breeana they are so lucky to have the most wonderful Angel watching over all of us. Happy Mothers Day My Sweet Child.

Those special Memories of you
will always bring a smile
if only I could have you back
for just a little while
Then we could sit and talk again
just like we used to do
You always meant so very much
and always will do too
The fact that you're no longer here
will always cause me pain
but you're forever in my heart
until we meet again"

Your life was a blessing, your memory a treasure. 
 You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure
 I miss you and love you Tracey

My Lovely Daughter Tracey.
Remembering you is easy.
I do it everyday.
But missing you is a heart ache that never goes away.
I hold you tightly within my heart and there you will remain.
Always in our thoughts.
Forever in our hearts
Until we meet again. I love you, honey

Tracey, 

My beautiful friend, Its been two years and I miss you and think of you daily. I find my self looking back to my childhood memories today more than ever of me and you and all fun, crazy things we did, We were like two peas in a pod, and we were always there for each other, the bad times and the good times. always inseparable and we always knew what the other was thinking and could finish each others sentence ! they are such good memories and ones that I will cherish and never forget. I  was  so truly blessed to have you in my life and thank the lord  that our paths crossed some 30 years ago! I know we will see each other again, until then my ol' friend  fly with angles and rest in paradise. love and miss  you always. 

Kathy

Claudia,

I know its been years, I just found out last Christmas. My heart weighs heavy and I will miss my old BFF. who was like a sister to me and you like a mother. Tracy will always be dear to my heart and we shared so many memories, I will miss her always and may she be at peace. love you Tracy and god bless Claudia.

I guess this is a bit random, but all I have is our memories and the pictures of you on this site, so I come here when I want to see you and say hi.  Anyway, just thinking about you.

Happy Birthday Tracey...I still think of you everyday.  Be at peace.

Red, I remember you so well. Thank you for your beautiful words and memories of Tracey. Breeana will love to read this also. cmchone@wsgr.com If you would like to contact me. Bless you Red

Claudia, Carl, Jeremy, Ryan, Breeana, I am so sorry.  I loved Tracey with all my heart.  Never before, or since my time with Tracey, did anybody have such influence in my life.  I met Tracey at the ripe old age of 11 or 12, and we became best friends almost instantly.  For the next number of years, we were inseparable.  i will forever cherish her morning calls to wake me up for school, asking what time I would be there to pick her up.  It was always the same time, but I wouldn't risk missing tomorrows call by reminding her of that.  I would pick her up at the Greenery and off to school we'd go.  Tracey was my first dinner date, though not romantically.  I remember Claudia sending us out the door as we walked toward the Chinese restaurant down the street.  Tracey was the first girl I ever bought a present for, I think it was her 13th birthday.  When I was old enough to drive, i remember Carl's constant reminders of what would happen to me if I let anything happen to her.  I don't think there was a street in this valley we didn't travel together, a hill we didn't explore together, a beach we didn't see.  I can still hear her answer when I'd call, "Hey, what're you doin".  She taught me to do my hair by showing me how to blow dry it when I'd get out of the shower.  She would drag me to the Gap to pick out my clothes.  She gave me detailed instructions for the barber of how my hair should feather.  Never did a person lend to the beauty of black as when it was worn by her.  I can still see her walking down the street, her head hung low, her hair covering her face, her quick stride without a bounce, her feet pointed slightly inward.  As we grew up and our lives took us in separate directions, there weren't too many days that she didn't cross my mind at least once, and she never left that place she held in my heart. Every year I would wish her happy birthday, even if just to myself.  I will spend the rest of my days recounting the memories, feeling the imprint she left on my life.  Jeremy, I'm sorry I didn't get to know you better.  Breeana, I'm sorry I didn't get to meet you.  Being your mother's Daughter, you must be a gift to the world.  There's not enough time in the day for me to write the memories, or enough ink in this computer for me to pen the emotions. 
It's been more than 30 years.  
Tracey, though it was long ago, you were a good friend and I love you.   Thank you for being part of my life.

Oh, my dear Tracey. I knew her my entire life. She was a second mom to me. She even yanked out my first tooth. Thre's so many wonderful stories and memories that I have that include her. I was so blessed that she and my mom met so young and to have been so lucky as to have her there by my side as I grew. I miss her everyday, but know she's looking down on us. My heart is with her family, whom I see as my own, as we cope with having to let her by in the heavens above. Tracey, I love you with a my heart.

Tracey has been a huge part of my life, I don't have any memories from the age of 16 on that don't include her.  She was my shoulder to cry on, she kept my children and my secrets and I hers.  I will miss lazy beach days and shopping trips that drove me nuts, late night talks on the phone, I will just miss her terribly and have an ache in my heart  I was so blessed to have her and my heart and prayers are with you Claudia and Carl, Ryan, Jeremy and Breeana.  I will miss my best friend.

Aunt Claudia, I wish we could be there to honor my cousin. She was lovely. I bet she fits right in with all the angels!  We send our love from Hawaii.  Aloha

Claudia, So sorry about the loss of your Daughter.
When it hurts to look back and you are to scared to go forward,
look beside you and your best friends will be there.
My heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

Claudia,

Our sincere condolences on the loss of your daughter and friend. Betsy and I are thinking of you and your family. We hope you and your family will remain strong in the face of this hard trial.
