Traci had such a good heart and was so faithful with her very regular uplifting Facebook posts, that so many appreciated. Her meaningful posts were the best! Traci and I went to Suncoast High School together and were Facebook friends for the past 5 years. I loved her bright and cheery work posts, & she was right, the store she worked at was such a lovely place. She was always so positive, sharing sweet & special heartfelt family posts, too.
Heaven´s a better place, I´m sure, now that she has arrived. May Traci be dancing in heaven, & singing in the angels´ choir, forevermore.
