I have SO MANY memories of Tracy from my childhood. He adored my Mamaw & Papaw (John & Maxine) & he would frequently stop by just to check on them & visit. Just last yr he came when we had to admit my grandmother to the hospital despite Tracy expecting company at his house to celebrate his own daughter's bday that evening. I know Tracy was welcomed w/open arms by Tam & Gertie along w/ALL the other aunts & uncles (11 to be exact!) but oh how he will be missed! He loved Cindy & his kids more than life itself. He spoke of them everytime I saw them. My heart breaks for them. I have them all in my thoughts & prayers.
