Tracy Stefan

January 10, 2008

I will always remember my Grandmother Eileen with a fondness for her lively spirit. She wanted to die with her boots on and for the most part she did. She told me that if she could have had a career outside the home she would have been a writer. I share this passion with her and pray that God will rest her soul now and forever more. I will always appreciate her kindness towards me.
