So odd that this should come up today. I've been thinking of Tracy over the last week for some reason. Remembering what a lovely woman she was and trying to remember how long ago she had passed away. It seems she is still with us in spirit.

I think of Tracy often. Recently I found the email telling me of her passing. I was in Israel when Tracy passed. As a Christian, I had learned a lot about Judaism from Tracy and her parents. They welcomed me into their home and shared their faith and culture with me. In turn my family shared our culture and traditions with her. Although we came from very different backgrounds, we were truly best friends in high school. Our friendship was so strong - like being sisters. We shared so much - our school life, our "bakery" life, our dreams and disappointments. I have so many happy memories of those years. And although our adult lives went in different directions, Tracy's friendship remained very special to me. Now as I approach my 60th birthday, Tracy's friendship has even more meaning to me. And I am saddened that she was taken from life too soon. My heart goes out to Andy, David, Anna and Samantha.

Tracy , I keep thinking about you lot lately, I miss you , even though we were just coworkers at Voorhees office for about 7 year's, or more.
And I know you had just left for your New job,I try to think that is where you are at times, but I know better, your loss was so sudden to me, I was in the middle of alot of grief , and was in shock,I did not pay my respects as much as I wanted to. So sorry. And that you are not here hurts more than I could ever imagine. TO Tracy's family I am SO sorry for what you are dealing with now. Andy David, Anna, Sam, my thoughts are with you. I lost my mom 10 month's before Tracy passed, she always had the best hugs for me and everyone. I do understand some of that hurt and pain and sadness,I have lost 12 people in a very short time frame, and I really do miss talking to Tracy about stuff, She always made what she said count, even if nothing was said. I am sorry that I am going on to much. I have all of you guys in my thoughts often. If you ever want to talk or I can do anything, please contact me at 856-796-0476. ?????.....From Colleen Ahrens. ....always in my heart.

I haven't seen Tracy in over 30 years but she was a good friend in high school. I'm so sorry that this is how I found out about her life. It doesn't surprise me at all that the comments of her friends now would echo my memories of what a wonderful person she was in my life. Sincere condolences to her family.
