Tracy was my world for 20 yrs. My wife, my everything. A very special lady. Always positive and a joy to be around. She was a extremely good mother and wife. A great Doctor, loved by all she served as the memorial comments clearly state . Quite the chef , but could never quite figure out how to make a decent Alfredo sauce. In fact was terrible, but she would agree with this and was a running joke for years. Anyway , thinking of you during the holidays. We miss you baby!
My prayers go out to all of the family. Tracy was a great person, cared deeply about her family as well as her patients. She is already missed.

Remembering lots of good times growing up as back door neighbors to Tracy. We spent several summers running around the neighborhood (tee peeing, playing spin the bottle, spending the night) as well as skiing on the river with her family. Tracy is a wonderful person and will be missed. Prayers to her family.
Our deepest sympathy on this loss. As a mother and daughter she gave much love to all. She was very courageous and had a too short life. Our prayers are with you all.
