Ms. Terese "Tracey" Ellen Acker

I loved Tracey and always will. She and I were roommates at Diane David's place on 113th Street (NYC) in the '70s. We talked just about every night. When I knew her, she was already in banking. In fact, she talked very little about what she had done. We talked about art shows a lot (I was at the Modern). After I left NY, I visited her every chance I had when I was there. Every conversation was memorable. Dear Tracey,
where are you now? Everywhere, is my guess--everywhere where you knew someone, and where those people hold you, close to their hearts. I so regret that I didn't talk to you more often.... Much love and undying affection, Jeanie

Tracy/Terese was my mother's best friend. She visited our home religiously numerous times a year, always coming and going on the subway between Manhattan and Queens. Every visit was a pure pleasure. She had a charm unsurpassed in both wit and cynicism that made everyone in the room laugh and gravitate towards her. She was strong in her opinions, made sure you knew it, but still listened to what others had to say. Her generosity was profound to those she loved and I can only imagine how much she shared over the years. She was my mother's friend to the end, writing to her even though she was thousands of miles away. I miss her dearly and cannot think of Tracy without crying my eyes out.

Terese was a wonderful individual. I enjoyed the times we spent together. May she Rest In Peace with another dear friend Roz they are together again getting the next ski house ready for us all to visit.

Terese also was very interested in art, and was a member and frequent visitor to the Met and other NYC museums throughout her lifetime. She was always happy to guide me through the Met when I was in NY. Miss her terribly, Anne Marie

The memories we cherish of those we love never leave us, they linger on to always be there in our hearts and minds! Terese will be missed by the many family and friends she has, and at some point over the coming months we will celebrate her life and share our thoughts about how she influenced us all in a positive way. So until then we fondly remember Terese and look forward to getting together soon,

Alta & Arthur Brause

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.
