May the family experience the unconditional love and peace of God as your hearts heal. Knowing Tracy the times I have encountered her, she was always pleasant and smiling - a genuinely nice person. I receive the Spirit of Women newsletter that she headed, and I am thankful I had a chance to meet her. God bless.

My sincere condolences to Tracy's family. She was a beautiful woman with an infectious smile, a heart of gold and a pleasure to work with at Baystate. I enjoyed her programs and her personally whenever we crossed path in the organization. I have missed her and will keep you, her family and friends in my prayers.

To Tracy's family, my name is Barbara Lyon, and I know your wife/mother through SOW. There are few words I can muster up through my tearful eyes and excessive heavy heart to convey my many wonderful thoughts of Tracy and beyond deepest sympathies to you. I will recite a rosary for her soul and another one for all who are forced to carry on without your/our BELOVED Tracy.
God bless you all,
Barbara Lyon, Wilbraham

To the Benton and Whitley Families,
My deepest condolences and prayers. My fondest memory of Tracy was our walk to high school during our four years. Tracy would start out our group walk in Newark and we would end up at our destination in Irvington after several stops to pick up other classmates. Those walks were full of laughter and good times! May God continue to watch over you and bless you!
