Tracy, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom. I have so many great memories when I was a child of spending of week each summer with your mom and dad. It was something I looked forward to every year. She took me for my first manicure and trip to the beauty salon. One summer she took me to sit by the pool at her club. I always felt so special when I spent time with my Aunt Doris. I hope the love and friendship of the many people who knew her will keep you strong. Love, Cheryl Fritts Ray

Tracy, please accept my condolences on the loss of your mom. She was a really nice lady who was always so gracious and kind to me. I'll always remember her and your dad fondly for their generosity of spirit, sincere love for you and their genuine appreciation for one another.
