Tracie Lynne Groenig

Whoever wrote the obituary notice on this page did an EXCELLENT job of describing Tracie and why she was so loved by everyone who knew her; she was, indeed, a very special, loving and caring woman. Rest in peace, Tracie; we all miss you very much!!

15 years.....UGH! it still hurts. I miss you sis.

That song came on this morning at work.....good thing I work by myself so nobody saw me cry. I sure miss you sis.

It's been a whole year now. I wanted to share this with someone ... but haven't yet. Just 13 months ago, Tracie emailed me a job posting at Odyssey Youth Center; an LGBTQA non-profit organization. I know she became active in her church and I am happy for her to have found her truth. I just want people to know that she was also accepting of others' personal truths. I miss her. I have been mourning my cousin, she was a beautiful human being inside and out. Bobbi, Brandi and Dan - you are all in...

Could somebody please tell me where Tracie was laid to rest. My 7 yr-old daughter just mentioned Tracie teaching her how to clean up spills. "You just put down the towel, and dance on it like this." I miss her horribly, and would love to have place to go. Amy [email protected]

Mom asked me for my Christmas list a couple of weeks ago and the only thing I could think of was to have you back for a moment so I could tell you how sorry I was. With your passing I have gained strength and wisdom. I have also accepted Jesus Christ as my lord and savior. I wish you could talk to Trina again and tell her that you are ok and free and at peace. I want more than anything to see her in church praising God even through this time.
Please Lord help Trina find her way back...

Let me tell you about my big sister...she ALWAYS had a smile on her face. She always treated people with kindness. She could turn everyday "things" into something extraordinary! There was nothing she could not do. I will miss her kind words, her hugs and even with her passing she is able to hold things together...for US. I feel that she is still with us, guiding us, protecting us, still doing the things she did while she was here.

You can rest now Tracie.

You will...

I met Tracie more than 25 years ago. We dated briefly, and in that short time I got to know her family and I was always impressed with the smiles and cheery attitudes whenever I visited. It's good to see that Tracie continued her life being happy in whatever she did. To her family, I'm sorry for your loss and will think of you often.
