This site is a tribute to Tracy Costello. It includes selected poems and verse (in Journal) along with photos and videos (in Galleries). Please feel free to contribute to this site with thoughts, photos and memories of Tracy as these would be much appreciated by her family at this time.
Tracy was a wonderful wife and partner to Nick, and proud mother of Frank who will be 13 years old in just a few weeks. She was also a loyal and caring friend who was much loved, and will always be held close by all in their hearts.
Tracy and Nick were married in Cyprus in 2007, and they chose to settle and build their lives and careers in South London initially, but later moving to East Sussex.
Tracy served as a frontline sergeant in the Metropolitan Police before making a career change to become a much loved and respected Pathways Mentor at East Sussex Coast College. In this role she supported young people who particularly benefitted from her patient guidance and open mindedness at a time when they most needed it.
Tracy not only loved all creatures great and small, but she formed special connections with the many that she fed, named, cared for and whispered to over the years.
Tracy was passionate runner loving to feel the wind on her face, and she often said she "found her wings" whilst running.
Tracy had many gifts - she was tenacious and determined beyond her deceptively tiny stature, she created beautiful art as well as being the best organiser of cupboards and houses there could be!
It was hard to find the words. What a beautiful soul and beautiful smile. Despite not seeing Tracy for so many years, I’ll always remember her laugh, and energy for life, and those visits to your house with Grandad Ray when we were kids. Sending you our deepest condolences and much love xxx
“Night night, God bless, Sleep bright, love you, thank god. “ what we always say to each other. Thank you for being the best aunty a girl could have. I love you even more always.
In loving memory of our neighbour and friend Tracy. Lots of love xxx
