Hello Tracey Tyner family, I wanted to let everyone know that I had been thinking about Tracey and her life she lived just a short day before I received the email from Legacy to honor her life. I loved her vibrant smile and bubbly personality. We became friends during High school and remained throughout the years. I will always remember how she just beamed when she told me she was working with horses at the Cadance center. She loved it with all her heart!! Sending you all much love in remembering Tracey
