  1. So sorry for the loss of your Mom. I met Tracey in Aug. of 1976. I became her step Mom in Nov. 1987. Fond memories when we would all go camping in north Jersey.

  2. James and I were honored to be her neighbors and her friends. Traci fought a long and painful battle. Our prayers and love go out to her family. She and Zoie will be missed.

  3. In such a short time of knowing one another, I honestly felt I knew you for a lifetime. My heart is broken yet I know you are now with your husband, pain free and at peace. Fly high my friend. Much love ❤️

  4. Tracy was a beautiful person inside and out. She loved her family deeply. We can be comforted by knowing Mike will be there to greet her will open arms! My heart hurts!

  5. I am so, so sorry for your loss. As Jay, Tony, and their family know, I loved Tracey from the first time we met at the Currituck business expo. Every single time we ran into each other, she was so sweet and just a joy to be around. The world has lost just that bit of special energy and light that Tracey was. I wish her loved ones to be comforted imagining her beautiful spirit laughing and dancing, free of pain and other restraints, in the cosmos.

  6. Although we did not know Tracey personally, we empathize with your family’s loss. As clients of DV Cleaning Services we wish to extend our deepest sympathies to each of you. We realize from our own family losses that grief & healing is a process & will hold all of you in prayers.

  7. I will truly miss my sweet kind hearted neighbor in Carolina Club . I have known Tracy and Mike only a short while only been living here 3 yrs.They both will truly be missed. Condolence to the family.😇😇

  8. Rest in Peace Aunt Tracy. Thank you and Uncle Mike for helping me when mom passed in 06. I always told myself I’d come back out to visit some day, but never made it. To Jason, Amanda, and Melissa, I remember meeting you all years ago last time I was in NC. Sorry for your loss; both Tracy and Mike were gone too soon. Take care of yourselves and each other.
