We're all praying for you. Auntie Cally was such a fun aunt and special person . She fought a long, hard battle with grace, humor, and a great attitude. She was so loved and will be so missed.

Miffi, Beth & Bobby,
I am so sorry to hear of your moms passing. I have great memories of her from our childhood; from our trips to Florida together, to all our neighborhood parties, to hanging by your pool, to 'helping' with all the parties your parents used to host. She always had a smile to share and a great laugh! Let your great memories help you through this most difficult time.

Bethy, Miffi and Bobby,
We are all so sorry for loss of your incredible, lovely and beautiful mom. "Mrs. Tracey" was such a classy and warm person and always a joy to be around, both when I was a child and as an adult. She shines in all of you. She has left behind a beautiful legacy to carry on.
No matter how many times she begged me to call her Caroline...she was and forever will be my "Mrs. Tracey." I will always remember her big heart, beautiful,blue eyes and infectious laugh! She is loved and will be missed greatly.

Miffi, Beth, Bobby,

I am very sorry for your enormous loss. Caroline was beautiful, funny, full of life and a joy to have known. She was the "cool" mom when we were kids and a wonderful friend in adulthood.

Her bright spirit will live on in you and her grandchildren.

Sending love and hugs to all.
Mary & the entire Sartori family
