Tracy always posted on Facebook and I always tried to give her positive feedback. I knew she was battling a hard road just never dreamt she was anywhere that near to her maker. My prayers and thoughts are with you Vic and Isabella and of course Vickie. May God be with you at this difficult time.
I’ve known Tracy since we were all cruising around the rink at Fun Spot, and on to High School @ Belleville East in the 1980’s
I just recently got to hang out with her at Dive Bar in Fariview, and we caught up some. I also brought her a special picture that I took of her in High School in 1988 that I had matted for photography class. She was very happy to get it after 34yrs.
You were always a very happy/kind person to me, & pray for you & your family.
Fly high Tracy.
Many prayers to you during this extremely difficult time. My deepest sympathies to you and your family 🤍
Loved her Fight!! her positive messages,and her contagious smile when I met her over 14years ago .Too early we have lost her and my prayers are with her kids who will truly miss special times with her..RIP till we meet again
I am so sorry. I met her in 5th grade. This breaks my heart to hear. I will be praying for Bella and her family.
My sympathy to Bella and the rest of the family. I have so many fond memories from our Wolf Branch years! I was so happy to reconnect with her on Facebook. She battled and now is at peace. She will be greatly missed.
