Dear family of Tracy:

I worked with Tracy for a number of years in my capacity as an officer of the faculty union.

I would have to get onto Board agendas, attend meetings that Tracy organized, go through Tracy to communicate with administrators.  I stood in front of her desk on many, many days as we figured out how to proceed on Board matters.

She was always so kind to me, always so patient, always organized, efficient, ready with papers and documents, always front and center in these critical meetings.  Even though the Board and the union were frequently at odds, you would never have known it working with Tracy.  She was so kind and  soft-spoken, a gentleness in her demeanor. I knew that it was Tracy who often smoothed the way in advance of a difficult situation or contentious Board meeting.

In the less hectic moments, we were able to chit chat and dish the dirt.  She had a grand sense of humor that I thoroughly enjoyed.

West Valley Mission was so lucky to have her caliber in such an important post.  They don’t make them like Tracy as much anymore.

I grieve along with you at her loss.  

Dear Vincent and Family,

From the moment I first met Tracy, I knew she was a sweet and gentle soul.  We all loved her in Senator Alquist's Office. She was kind, smart, patient, and had a great sense of humor. I know  she was loved and appreciated by all who were fortunate to know her.  We will miss her.
