Wow! I had Tracey's birthday on my calendar and wondered how she was doing. So sad to see that she has passed. I was a vendor that worked with Kramer Carton and Tracey was my main contact there. In just under a year we developed a wonderful, trusting relationship. I looked forward to my weekly visits to the plant and our heartfelt discussions of life, work, and just having someone to vent with. My heart goes out to her family. Thank you for the special person that Tracey was.

Tracey & I became best friends over Chinese food @ Dragon Smorgie on Broadway in 1990. We were best friends for 21 years, and always joked about how we were eachothers "longest relationship," We lived together 7 times, traveled together, and shared everything you would expect two girls to share over twenty-one years, until the day she passed, and she is still my best friend, even on the other side. We were even pregnant together with our youngest children. My girl, River, was born just 2 weeks before her boy, Taven. When she was pregnant with Ashton, we spent hours on the phone picking out his name. There is nothing in this world that will ever trump the love and friendship she gave me everyday of the many years we spent together. I am the luckiest woman alive because I had the great priviledge and honor of being her best friend and having her for mine. Not a day goes by that I don't feel her and see her everywhere I go. She is with me always, and I love her, Forever. So grateful for all the years and memories. Thank You Trey. For all of it <3 Every single moment.... i love you!

Hey Tracey, you and I were never friends in high school but we always said hi to each other. From all that I have read about you, you were an amazingly fantastic mom. Your children, family, and friends were lucky to know you, lucky to love you, and I am sure will miss you for the rest of their lives. May you forever rest in peace and watch over your loved ones.

Tracey; Thank you for being a great friend to me. I’m so glad were able to work together. True wealth comes from having good, honest, loyal friends and my life is richer for having you as a friend. I’ll miss you. Thank you for everything. I pray that your spirit be with your children and your loved ones every day of their lives.

I worked with Tracey ages ago at Burger King. I think she was only 15 or 16 at the time. I was a few years older. She was such a beautiful girl, inside and out. Like a bright light in the lives of all those she touched. She will be missed by all those who were lucky enough to know her. My heartfelt condolences to her family. Much love, beautiful girl!

Our memories together I will cherish. Your smile will remain in my heart. Your contagious laughter will make me giggle when it echoes in my head. I miss everything about you and am saddened we are not able to make more memories, smiles and giggles together. Your babies will always be in my thoughts and prayers and my heart goes out to your parents and family. How hard it must be on everyone to have lost you so suddenly.
Thanks for the fun times and wonderful memories Tracey!

I met Tracey the summer before my Freshman year in highschool, through my older sister who was already a friend of Tracey's. I have many fun & fond memories of times I spent with Tracey - swim team; marching band; the time her car broke down near our highschool in the rain and Jared Lozano helped push us to "safety," and many adventures when we lived together after highschool. Her laugh was infectious, her smile always bright and her heart ALWAYS in the right place as far as her friends were concerned. Although Tracey and I drifted apart a couple different times over the years, I always have (and always will) count her as one of my closest and dearest friends. Patty, Gary, Sean - I am so sorry for your loss. Your daughter/sister was loved by all and will be dearly missed. My heart goes out to you and her children.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Tracey over the last year through work. I remember her bright smile and contagious laugh but most of all I remember our conversations about her three kids and how proud of them she always was. She will certainly be missed.

I have only known Tracey for about a year, but I always looked forward to talking to her. We worked together but also shared stories, thoughts, memories, etc every time we got together or spoke. I will miss her laugh and her bubbly, upbeat spirit. Even on the worst day Tracey could make you laugh. I only wish that we could see her one more time and take our kids on that camping trip... We miss you Trey.

I met Tracey years ago back in 1999 and we became instant friends... We did lose touch because we both moved from the area. We found each other again, and were making plans to meet up and reunite... Unfortunately, that time never came. My prayers go out to her family... Tracey you will be forever missed but never forgotten... See you on the other side beautiful... xoxo Sherri

Our family will miss Tracey so much. She always lit up our house when she was here. She was my best friend and our lives will not be the same without her. She will be forever in our hearts.

I went to high school with Tracey and was so sad/shocked to hear the news of her passing. I can only hope that her family can somehow get through this sad time. Thoughts and prayers to all who knew and loved Tracey. Special prayers for her 3 kids, I can't even imagine the sadness they are feeling.
