I worked with Tracy at Livingston & Company. Even it that high pressure world, she laughed often and was full of fun. We had an office building going up next to ours and when the framing got to eye level with my office, she got the idea to try to attract the cute construction workers. She put a poster in my window with her office phone number on it and convinced the "girls" to line up and wave. Sure enough the phone rang!! She loved life and lived it every day.

I worked with Tracy at McGavren Guild Radio prior to her moving to North Carolina and also during her tenure at Livingston & Co. in Seattle. I treasure having been touched by her kindness and am saddened to hear that she is no longer with us, but in spirit and warmhearted memories. I feel lucky for having the good fortune of knowing Tracy and the pleasure of working with her. She will be greatly missed.

"T" and "P" fresh from Tahiti

I've known Tracy since August of '84 when I went to cry on my brother's shoulder over a broken relationship and was introduced to her as his new girlfriend. We became roommates soon thereafter and friends for life.

"T", as I affectionally called her, was also the godmother of my children. My husband loved her as a sister.

We had a lot of great times together, whether it was sailing the waters of Tahiti (okay, it was a week trip, but the memories of that week have lasted forever), or her and I doing a girl’s trip to San Francisco, “T” was always fun to be with and be around. I loved her so much and am going to miss her forever.

I read this at her memorial service and would like to share it with you:

"God saw that she was getting tired,
and saw a cure was not to be,
so He put his arms around her
and whispered "Come with Me" .
With tearful eyes, we let her go,
and saw her slip away.
Although we loved her dearly,
we could not make her stay.
A precious golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best.
Tracy, Life will never be the same without you."

"
;P"

This past week has brought back so many memories of the goodness of this

woman. And somehow in the sadness of all this, these memories have brought

a smile to my face.

I worked with Tracy at Livingston & Company, an advertising agency in Seattle. As the newbie in the media department, Tracy's confidence, ability and sense of fun showed me how to excel in the business and have fun doing it. Tracy always took great pleasure in her co-workers and I imagine and get the sense that this carried over to her work environment in North Carolina. Her infectious laugh and smile were always welcome. I pray for her and her family as she begins her new journey.

I knew Tracy through Stoney Creek Amimal Hospital. She was always very friendly to me and had a welcoming smile for everyone. She will be missed by those who knew her. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and may God give you the peace and the strenght that you need during this time of sadness.
