Q: How would you describe Tracy to someone who had never met them?
A: Tracy was a wonderful friend to me over the last few years. We worked together. She was always in my corner no matter what. She was one of the kindest and funniest people I had the pleasure of knowing. I’ll always treasure the time we had as friends. Love to her family and friends who are grieving.
Her laugh was contagious, and I will miss our culinary adventures. Even though we couldn’t hang out much, we had the best times.

Tracy was always kind and considerate of others. Such a sweet soul that will truly be missed.
Sleep well Tracy
Johnny, Riley, Cynthia, Eddie, and Annie and Travis: I am very sorry for your loss. I will always remember Tracy for her wit. She could liven up an event with her boundless energy.
I am so sorry for your loss! Tracy was an amazing person. I have so many memories with her growing up. So here are a few of my favorites. When I was 3, we moved back from New Mexico. We moved in to the apartments across from Cynthia, Travis and Tracy. We would go walk with them in the evenings and Travis and Tracy would ride their bikes. I was determined I could to, so they helped teach me to ride without my training wheels. My mom and I went to the beach with them when I was about 4. We were at our motel and Travis and Tracy were going down the elevator, I wanted to go to , so I got on and they hopped out and hit the button so I got sent to the bottom floor. I screamed so loud, pretty much everyone heard me and the front desk was waiting for me when I got off. We laughed about that for years. As I grew up she was always an important person in my life and she will be dearly missed.
Tracy you were always so fun and energetic. You cared for people so deeply. I think of you every time a 2000s pop song comes on and us dancing in your Mom’s kitchen, the summers at your grandparent’s pool, church events, and of course our love for Scentsy! I love you and I will miss you so much!
Tracy had a heart for others and she was an amazing friend to many. Tracy, you will be missed. We shall rejoice together in glory soon. So thankful for your life here and the many you touched. Thank you for being just you! It was joy being your friend and pastor. Riley will continue your legacy and he is the SWEETEST hearted kid. Just like you were.
I had the pleasure of working with Tracy. I enjoyed everyday I knew I got to work with her. She was sweet, kind, and funny. She will be dearly missed. She loved her family and was all around a wonderful person. I’m glad my life crossed paths with her, but so sad to see her go. Rock on until I meet you again sweet friend!
Q: What was Tracy like as a child?
A: She was the best baby. She was my beautiful baby girl.
All curls and smiles. My heart is broken now. Miss you my precious daughter, Love always Mama
Tracey was such a sweet soul. She made us laugh even when the workload was heavy and the days were long. We all loved her dearly. She could make anyone smile. It was onee of her greatest gifts that she shared easily. She was smart and organized. She kept us in line, but always in the sweetest and funniest of ways. It breaks my heart to know She left this world while so young. She lived her son more than life itself. We saw her go a miscarriage. She was devastated. When she found out she was pregnant again she was over the moon with joy. She had a perpetual grin every day. She idealized her son, her life’s greatest joy. She will be missed by everyone who knew her. She was a rare gem, a jewel. Praying for Tracey’s family, especially her son, the apple of her eye, the person who made her complete.
So so sorry. I just found out tonight. Let me know if I can do anything. Just know I’m praying for the family
Tracy will be missed by so many people because she was such a sweet and compassionate person. She was beautiful inside and out. She was loved by so many because she gave so much love. She cherished her family and friends and she showed her love to everyone. She was sincere and genuine.
Family you will hear many times that she is in a better place. Believe that because it true. She is now where we all want to be one day. She will be waiting there for us. In our heart we know we should be happy for her, but we can’t see beyond our tears, our pain and grief. Our tears will go on for years to come. We as humans will ask why … why such a sweet and loving soul has to die so soon. Why her… but there is never a time we would want to lose a loved one. We don’t want them to leave us. Right now this is a nightmare we can’t wake up from.
We know we should be happy for them but we are in so much pain.
Our loved ones are in a new home where they will experience joys we can only imagine. Can we imagine heaven! They will never hurt again. They will never know sorrow. They will be there waiting for us.
Our family has known your sorrow such a short time ago. We understand your pain.
Riley you have lost your mother. No one will ever take her place. But she will always be there watching over you. You were her pride and joy.
Cynthia and Eddie you have lost your child. This shouldn’t happen this way. This is not the way life should be.
Travis you have lost your sister. You must have so many memories. You thought you would go through life together.
Johnny you have lost your wife. Your soulmate.
Many family and friends mourn.
When our family heard of Tracy’s passing we all relived losing Scott. We know your pain
Courtney and Kyle lost their dad. We lost our child.
Kim lost her husband. Jimmy lost his brother. Our family ache for you all. We know words can never express our sorrow. Our love and prayers are with you.
Tracy,
We love you so much and you will be missed until we make it there to see you! You were amazing and very helpful when I was pregnant, and when I was a new mom to Conner. We loved that you were across the street. We had such a good time watching movies and nip/tuck!! We have so many memories that will forever be tucked away in our hearts. I couldn’t count all of the memories that were made growing up with you and your “curly hair” I always wanted your beautiful curls. It’s not goodbye Tracy Layne, it’s see you later my beautiful cousin and friend.
Love,
Eddie, Laura, and Conner
