Remembering Tracy

October 28, 2009
We were saddened to hear Tracy had passed away. She was a delight to know - always smiling, with a twinkle in her eyes.

I recall sitting at poolside with her and a small group of neighbors one sunny afternoon. I told the story of Donn going skydiving on his 50th birthday. Tracy lit right up and said she wanted to do that for her 80th birthday.

I didn't take her seriously at first, but in subsequent days she repeatedly sought Donn out to get information on doing a jump.

It became evident she was totally serious about doing this, so we told her when she was ready, we'd drive her to the airfield in Taft where she could do a tandem jump with a certified instructor.

As it turned out, she was not allowed to do the jump by her doctor, and she was very disappointed. But there was no doubt she had the spirit for the adventure!

Tracy, you were one of the most interesting ladies I have ever met. From the first day we really got to know one another. When you would come and visit me in my office, I always enjoyed talking to you. Many days you put a sparkle in my day.

I am really going to miss our little chats and visits, even though I know you are in a better place with loved ones.

Just look down and give us that beautiful smile every once in awhile, to make our day, like you so often did. I will remember you fondly with love.
