Kevin, Pam and Sara,
There are no words to describe the heartache I feel for you and your family with this unimaginable loss in your lives. I didn’t have the privilege of knowing Tracie but I can tell from reading the obituary what an amazing young women she was and how much she accomplished and gave of herself in such a short amount of time. It’s a testament to the parents you were and are and how much she was surrounded by so many that loved and adored her. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
With deepest sympathy,

I always check on you at the end of the day for progress reports with Kim on your recovery. I am shocked and saddened that you have left this world suddenly. Eversince I met you, I recognized the strong, fun, kind , loving, patient and humble person you are. Always getting it together when the day was tough at the dispatch center.
I will definitely miss you, your kind loving face and smile. I know you are at a better place now.
God be with you till we meet again.
I was stunned to hear of your passing from Kim..I will always remember our jokes about the work and appreciate all the support you gave me in the field. Fly high Angel!

Im so sorry for your loss. Tracie was such a kind hearted person. I roomed with her for the Lularoe convention in 2018 and we had so much fun then on to Paparazzi where I could help with her Jewelry fix. It was the start of a great friendship. I am glad I was able to have a friendship with her.
Dear Kevin, Pam and Sarah, I am deeply saddened by your loss. I am Teya’s mother, and did know Tracie or you Pam, but she kept me informed of your journey. My prayers are with your entire family as you process your tremendous grief. She will watch over you until you meet again. Love, Peace, and Blessings,
