Tracy was my our first neice and our grandparents first grand child. I love Tracy so much and always will. Tracy was a very loving and caring person. If anyone gave her anything at all it was like she got a million dollars. If us girls went anywhere she loved it when we said you want to go. Because she knew we would be laughing and cutting up. Love and Miss you. Love Aunt Mona Lisa
