My heart goes out to each of you. When I worked with your mom at Norton, she kept everyone positive. She was so terrific: She worked hard and cared about people and i respect her for that. Heaven will be a better place with her in it, because she is just like that.

Jessica, Tim, Mike, Linda, Mike, Laura, and Amanda,
I am so very sorry for your loss. Tracy was an amazing woman. I so regret that I did not know her better as an adult, but I remember her well from our childhood. I looked up to her so much. She was so beautiful and sweet, and I wanted to grow up to be just like her. My dad, her Uncle Mike, loved her so very much, and I just know that he was there to help guide her when she passed. I bet they are together right now, laughing about all of the good times.
Please know that I am here if there is anything you need. You all will be in my daily thoughts and prayers. It makes me sad that this is the second time in the last year that people have said how much they regret losing touch with someone in our family who has passed. Many people said it about my father and now many are saying it about Tracy. Maybe we should try to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Jess, Tim and Mikey: We are so sorry for the loss of your mom. Tracy was a great person--kind hearted, helpful, sincere, funny, and a friend to whoever she met. We will greatly miss her smile and funloving attitude. Our community has lost a great person and it is through the love of family and friends that you find some comfort and strength through this difficult time.

Although you don't know me I was your mom's cousin and I too understand the pain of losing a mother. Please take comfort in knowing that she is now and will always be watching over you.
Only time can lessen the pain that you are feeling right now and that day will one day come.

Dear Jessie, Timmy, Mikey and all who knew and loved Tracy,
Memories come flooding back of raising our children together in Brentwood Estates. At times 15 plus children were running around in our back yards...eating PB&J sandwiches, drinking kool aide, hours of chalk drawings on the driveways, big wheels, hot wheels, T-ball, B-ball, kick-ball anything you could hit, kick or throw. LOL you kids would be on it. Oh the fun we Mom's had watching you all grow up. There is a bond between mothers who love their children. We ALWAYS watch out for ours as well as our neighbors. By the way, the bond is for life and it is NEVER broken. Call on us Mom's who love you. You know who we are. XXXOOO May God comfort you and give you His peace. Thank you for blessing us with Tracy.
Love Mrs. Wunderle (Lori)

Linda, Mike, Amanda, Laura, Jessie, Timmy and Mike...I am so very sorry for your loss. Tracy was my cousin and I used to babysit her and Laura when they were young. She was such a cute little tomboy who could keep up with all the boys in the neighborhood playing sports. I have lost contact with you over the years but I remember one thing, Tracy loved being a mother and I know she is up in heaven with grandma now watching over all of you. Love Connie Quinlan

I will always remember her laugh and her big smile. Many fond memories I will cherish forever. She loved you kids so much and was just showing off all your pictures! Love her so much and will miss her. God Bless your family.
