Michael,
Aaron and I sat with you and Tracy on Valentine's night as we all awaited being seated. Your wife sure knew how to make everyone smile. Your granddaughter Lexi takes dance with our daughter. Our prayers go out to Lexi, you and your family. All of us at Ginger Benack's Studio of Dance sure will miss Tracy's smiling face and our laughs and good times together.

May our friendship last forever;
May I sail upon your sea.
May we go through life together;
May there always be a "we."
May I be your endless sky;
May you breathe my gentle air.
May you never wonder why
When you look for me, I'm there.

May we be for each a smile
Like the warm, life-giving sun;
Yet when we're in pain awhile,
May our suffering be one.

May we share our special days,
The happiness of one for two;
And if we must go separate ways,
Let my love remain with you.

You will forever remain in my heart and soul, my best friend.

Mike, Mike and Darcy,
We are at such a loss of words. We are so very sorry about Tracy.

It has been so many years since we all have gotten together to play cards or just visit, we always say yep we'll give you a call and we lose track of time and don't call, not because we don't want to it's because our lives are all so busy we never take the time to spend with our friends.
Mike, We have always loved you and Tracy and the kids. We think of you as family. Many of Jessica's memories of her childhood are being at your house playing with Mike and Darcy.

We hold you so deep in our hearts and our prayers at this time.
Through this we have learned not to lose touch with our friends, for you never know what tomorrow will bring.

We love you all so much.
Rod, Judy and Jessica
