Tracey is my dad’s wife’s niece. She was fine in late October and went downhill quickly. She has a form of Melanoma cancer that spread throughout her body, including her brain. Many people supported her in her request to have Christmas in Gatlinburg. The trip was a huge success and she had the chance to spend time with her family in a place they all love. She arrived back at home several weeks ago, after an emergency stop in Indy for surgeries to remove infections. Her attitude has been great, truly inspiring, but things have taken a serious turn. They are still believing in a miracle. She was admitted to the Hospice home in Tuesday.
Tracey went to be with Jesus on Wednesday January 6, 2009.
Thank you for all of your prayers! I called my step mother this morning and while we were talking I told her about twitter and how lifted in prayer Tracey truly was. She said Tracey told her Monday that she could feel those prayers and knew that many people all around the country were praying for her. I would also ask that you would pray for my brother Tony who was closer to her than any of us. We was with her yesterday just before she passed and this will be hardest for him. Here is the email he sent this morning.
I regret to report that Tracey – one of the most inspirational people I ever met – departed this life last night at 7:30. Surrounded by family and friends. They were filled with joy and thanksgiving for the life she had, and the love she shared with the world, not so much the sorrow at her passing, but the faith that they all share that she is going on to wait for them. She will be missed by her family, but people like her should also be missed by the whole world.
And all of GOD'S people said...Amen.
