Tracy was a constant throughout my life and my memories. From Landmark Missionary Baptist Church, to McDougal Grade School, to Corning HIgh School, to ASU and into adulthood we remained friends. Her love of God, family and friends are some of the things I will remember most. She will be greatly missed and forever loved.
Dear Brenda and family,
I, like Gayla can think of very few fun memories growing up in Corning that didn't include the likes of Tracy, Gayla and a few others. I was heartbroken when I read the beautiful post On Facebook early Friday evening.
Tracy was a dear friend to me in high school, an allegiance I have never forgotten. When I last spoke with her, I'm sad to say was in 2012 she was so happy and full of life and told me all about the kids!
May God comfort you in the difficult days ahead!
Blessings,

Gaylon and Christie; so sorry to hear your loss. My sympathy to you and yours during this difficult time.
My heart breaks for Y'all and my prayers... are with each of you.
I HATE Cancer! When God's will and our will is not the same for our loved ones it is so very hard to understand but it gives us comfort to know that he promises when we have had more than we can bear that he will deliver us. Through Jesus Christ and his great love... for us may y'all find peace and comfort.
May God bless... Y'all, Christy's Mom & Tanner's Grandma
Words cannot express the sadness that overwhelmed me last night when I heard of Tracy's passing. When I recall the good times I had growing up, most of them involve Tracy in some way. Through the years our lives became busy and even though I didn't see her as often as I would have liked to, my heart grieves no less. She was my friend, I loved her then, and I love her still.

To Brenda, her husband, and children, I can only say I mourn with you and will continually keep you in my prayers.
