My dear friend Tracy, we met each other a few years ago when I arrived at the chinook guild. I was standing in the middle of the room and your eyes caught mine right away, recognizing that I was lost and overwhelmed. You called me over and asked if I would like to sit with you and your mother. From that day, our friendship began. We would talk so excitedly about many things: the art projects we were working on, our families, and our plans for the future. It was clear to me how proud you were of your daughters and how excited you and John were to have a healthy and happy grandchild. We laughed together, went for walks, and sometimes accompanied each other to art events. I will always cherish these beautiful memories of you. I often talk about you to my family, and despite not being there to share those memories with us, they can feel your love and presence. We will forever keep your memory alive in our minds and hearts.
