it is also hard for me to believe that it has been a year already, everyday I think about Tracey, I do hair because of her and her kind words when I was younger. She was my hero, and my idol and I will never forget her and how important she was to me.....I miss you Tracey and thank you for making me who I am today!! GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN.....MELISSA HOLMLUND

I just realized that it has been one year since Tracey's life on this earth ended. Although she and I had lost contact a few years earlier, I was greatly affected by her passing. I still think about her so often. I also think about you( her family, and Jeff), whom she spoke of. I never had the opportunity to meet any of you, but I just want you to know that neither Tracy, nor all of you, are forgotten. My heart still goes out to you. I will still pray for you when I think of it. Hope you are...

Jeff, I never had the chance to meet you but I worked with Tracey at Regis in Ridgedale. I loved her. She and I had some deep conversations and length that I enjoyed very much. She spoke of you lovingly. I still think about her from time to time. I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I know it must be such a great loss because Tracey was a special person. May you find comfort in the heart of God.
