She was SUCH a WONDERFUL woman. One in a million. Each and every one of her kids and grandchildren are in my thoughts. Mr. Tracy, God bless. You were SO lucky to have had each other all those years.

I am a colleague of Pat's from Scott M. Ellis Elementary. We worked together for a number of years, she as the special education administrator and I as a regular ed teacher with special ed kids in my class. She was a wonderful mentor, both professionally and personally. When my mother-in-law grew fragile, Pat helped me deal with all the new issues that came up. When I needed advice about the behaviors of a student, Pat was there with experienced advice. I miss her and grieve for her.My thoughts are with all her family.

To Pat's Family,
I came to know Pat over the years when she was my neighbor across the hall at Scott M. Ellis Elementary and I would breeze in to her department to use the phone, microwave or participate in a meeting. We had some great laughs together. She gave me parenting advise by telling me stories of her experiences with her own children. You could tell they were the center of her life. Pat's love and respect for her husband was also very apparent. Pat was a wonderful women who balanced career and family. She is a woman who will not be forgotten.

To Tricia and family,

I was lucky enough to be an 'unofficial' member of your family through my high school years. During that time Mrs. Tracy was always available with her wisdom when I had a problem, her unselfish kindness when I came over for dinner last minute or needed a sleepover and her honest smile when I tried make her laugh.

Never will I forget how welcomed she always made me feel. My heart and my prayers go out to you and your loved ones.
