How much Tracy means to me is hard to put into words. Although I didn’t really know her for that long it felt like a lifetime. She was such a kind & genuine person and even though she was fighting her own battles she would always be there to whisper words of encouragement & positivity when I needed them. For that I will be forever grateful. I will miss Tracy, I will miss the laughter & the heart to hearts, but I will never forget her or the impact she had on my life Rest easy and thank you❤️

I don't even know where to begin. One day this tiny little lady walked into the Pathways Office, I knew instantly we would be friends. I remember thinking, she is such a little soul with such a big heart, these kids are going to eat her alive!!! How wrong could I have been. Tracy dug deep, dedicated time and energy and a lot of persistence, to build a trust from the students, built their confidence, believed in them so eventually they learnt to believe in themselves. I loved Tracy for her kind, warm and huge loving heart. I loved her for her wise words. I loved her for her selflessness. I love how much she loved her little family and how she spoke about them. I loved how she spent hours talking about Frank and how proud she is of the young man he is turning into, and used to say he is such a beautiful little soul, he is special and I ‘m so lucky 💙 Most of all I admired her for her strength and want to do what she thought was right for her and her family. The little lady you saw before you was someone who had the strength of an Ox, who was feisty, humorous and truly the kindness, most loving human you could want in your life. We often said it to each other, our sadness is that we didn’t meet earlier in life, that we would love to go on long runs and feel the breeze in our hair and chat and put the world to rights. Thank you Tracy for being a true friend to me, for loving and supporting me always and especially when I needed it the most. Your wise words will live with me forever, I certainly will use them when I need to make further decisions in my future. You are and will be so loved and missed. Until we meet again my beautiful friend 💖 Heaven will certainly be a richer place tonight 😇. I love you xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sleep tight gorgeous, love forever Lisa M xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tracy and I bumped into each other more often than we managed to arrange to get together... she’d bellow ‘Vegan Sue!’ which always made me - and everyone else - smile. A rare and special talent for making people feel good about themselves. I’d often be mulling over some life decision... Tracy would just say ‘Do it’. We last hugged a few weeks ago and I’m now starting something I’ve bern putting off for a while! Thanks Tracy, and thanks Nick and Frank for sharing her with the rest of us x
