I’m so sorry for your families loss. Although I never met Traci she looks like she was a “kick in the pants”. Treasure her memories and she will live on in all of you. Aunt Toots is so glad that she got to see Traci last year and sends her love to your family as well.

Owen’s Family: I am so sorry for your great loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I just doesn’t seem fair when we lose someone so young. I lost my son, L.J. a year ago. He would have been 35 years old. Please tell Homer my thoughts are with him. The pain of losing a child is something that changes your whole life. I hope that you can take comfort in that she is with her mother and sister at last. love you guys, Vicki

So sorry to see your loss of Tracy. Although many years have passed, I always have had wonderful memories of Marilyn, Sonny and the kids on the farm. Know you are loved by those whom you have touched through the years and I feel a sadness in my heart for you. Her vibrant smile will always be cherished in loving memories.
Would love to talk to you all again.
