I LOVE THINKING ABOUT MY BELOVED NEPHEW, TRACY HENEBERGER (CALLED "T"), WHO MEANT SO MUCH TO ALL HIS FAMILY MEMBERS AND HAS MANY FRIENDS. HE WAS BRILLIANT, FUNNY, KIND, AND THOUGHTFUL OF OTHERS - - HE WAS IRREPLACEABLE. FROM HIS LOVING AUNT JANE

Dear Gordon (T's miother), Dear Belle (T's sister), Dear Susan (T's widow), of you three loving women who were so closest to him. I join you in missing T day-by-day. Lovingly, Jane

Oh, sweet Tracy. How we love you and miss you in so many ways. Each change in the season brings a special thought of your love of nature in all of its wonderment. You were a special man and it is still hard to believe that you arent with us. Love, Patty

My favorite memory is when Tracy and my late dear friend Ruben Eshkanian would climb into an artistic bubble together - art so filled them with excitement. It was a privilege to listen to their enthusiasm.

When I see Tracy's handsome face, and recall his loving, delightfully funny ways, and think of his devotion to his wife, his mother and father, other family members, his friends, and his work as a sculptor, I'm reminded yet again of the valuable part Tracy played in the development, the lives and the imaginations of all who were (and remain) connected to him.

Peace and love.

Tracy (and Susan) would have loved this event, covering and connecting most of their southern stomping grounds. I miss the opportunity to spend time with cousin Tracy and put him in touch with the southern...

Tracy and I went to school together in Bahia/Brazil. I have very happy memories from our times together then when we were young kids. Later we met again in New York a few times whenever I visited and had more good times together, even if they were brief. I then also met Susan and was thrilled for them that they were so happy together. I remember Tracy as always being filled with joy and compassion. He was a brilliant listener and had a kind heart. Tracy, thank you for your presence and...
