I had the pleasure of meeting Tracy, her devoted husband, and their beautiful family while working as one of her nurses. Witnessing the the love that they shared for one another was so very special. It was such a privilege to be one of her caregivers. I will continue to pray for the Martin family as I know Tracy will be dearly missed. God bless

How devastating to lose this joyful, encouraging, remarkable woman so early in her life. Some of my favorite memories of Tracy are playing softball on the church team. We had a high old.time with much laughter and fun, and her big smile and laugh were always so encouraging. She brought out the best of us all and was a shining star for our Lord God to everyone, everywhere. May God comfort and protect the family through this now and always.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Tracys family. I met Tracy at Margaret Park and caught back up with her at Sam Salem. She had such a contagious smile, such a great person I feel fortunate to have known. Cherish all her memories as we all will. An Angel got her wings. Susie Q
