Dear All, I want to offer my prayers and support for healing and strength as you go through this difficult time. I grew up with Tracy through St. stephen's parish, and all I can picture is her effervescent smile and zest for life. She was an extraordinary person who brought smiles and sunshine to all she touched. I am truly sorry for your loss.

To The Frillici and Skeffington Families

I am so sorry to hear about Tracy. I met Tracy while working at Frances Pastry Shop in Trumbull several years ago. We lost contact thru the years, but I can still remember her face with a big smile as if it were yesterday. We got along very well together and I remember we tried to schedule working on the same days when possible. She was a very outgoing and sincere person and always had a smile on her face. She was a beautiful person with a great personality and got along with everyone. I know this is a very difficult time for everyone. I will keep you all in my prayers. My deepest and sincere sympathy.

family. God Bless.

Dear Family,

I can not stress enough to how sorry I am for Tracy's loss and how much of a shock it is. I truly hope she is at peace now but she will be missed very much. I graduated Paier College in 1995, a year after her and Paul. I also lived close by her Trumbull residence while in college. Tracy was the (only) one who showed me the ropes, gave me pointers and helped me get my first interview (Revlon, NY). She was a tremendous help and inspiration to myself as well as others. With her busy schedule and working in NY at the time, I always appreciated her taking the time to help me out and get me on my way. Also, I was Class President directly behind Paul. He also showed me those ropes and has helped me out in the field many times. Paul, I am so so sorry and if you ever need anything please DO NOT HESITATE to contact me (257.0916). I am designing for GE out of Monroe and live in Derby which is still close by. Once again to the entire family, my sincere condolences and God Bless you all.

Dear Tracy's Family,

I was a classmate of Tracy's at Trumbull High. My maiden name was Pereira. I always remember Tracy as being friendly and fun. Although we did not run in the same circles we were always cordial to each other. I am so sorry for your loss. I hope that she did not suffer and that you will always have happy memories of Tracy. God Bless your family.

We first met Tracy exactly a year ago after she was first diagnosed with cancer. She was so very positive and optomistic and I remember how humbled I was by her strength. She seemed to be an excellent mother who had a daughter and husband that adored her. Although we never got to know Tracy as well as we would have liked, we kept up on her progress through our friends Lolly and Mike. She was always in our prayers. Now we pray that she rests in peace and that God will give Paul, Gillian and her family the strength they need to heal. With best wishes and sincere sympathy ~Melanie, Chris and Madelyn Petrucci
