I was lucky enough to have met Tracie when we were just 15 and was the first person to learn of her first pregnany with Kolten. She was such an amazing young woman who would have given the shirt off her back to help somebody out. I am so honored to have been given the privilege of knowing Tracie and will mourn her memory & the loss her Family has endured. Sincerily yours, Chaimi, Billy, & our kids.

Tracie Lynn, I will NEVER forget how amazing of a woman, mother, sister, daughter or friend you were. You always knew what to say when anyone needed advice. You were always my shoulder to cry on and helped me through some pretty rough things. I thank you, for being such an inspiration to me and everyone else. You were such a strong woman, who would not let the world get the best of you. I know you are always going to be watching over us. Your boys are gonna grow up to be fine young men. You taught them well. I am so sad you are gone but you will always remain in my heart. I will never forget you or your smiling face. I love you dear sister... may you rest in peace...

I didn't know Tracie, just passed by afterwards. My thoughts will be with her family for the next several days and every time I pass by that location for the rest of my life. May the love of friends and family comfort you in the next weeks and months as you remember her. God Bless!

Tracie, for the last 10+ years you've stood by my side even when time and space seperated us. You believed in me when so many did not, you never judged. You were always one of my biggest supporters and celebrated every single step in my progress to a new life. You were a breath of fresh air and motivation giving selflessly of yourself. There are not enough words to adequately express what you have meant, will always mean, to me. I will miss you says so little. This world is not right without you in it. Good-bye Doll, I will love you always.
