I will always think of you when I see an Eeyore.I still have a drawing you did for me at The Hamlet Centre in Norwich. I will treasure it. Thank you for your letters and cards over the years. You loved your family so much as you always shared their news in your letters. I'm pleased you were with Paula at the end. I know that would have been a huge comfort to you. Thinking of all your family and friends at this sad time. Much love

Claire, Ian & Esmé x

How moving to hear more of Tracy's life and journey. So much joy in life shared with Paula. So glad to hear of the loving care Tracy received in her life and particularly the last months. The photographs were a joy. May the memories all be good ones. xx

The funeral will be held on what would have been our birthday, the day we were so looking forward to. Tracey loved birthdays so, despite the sadness, I would like the day to be a celebration of her life. If you are able, whether you attend in person or watch on line, try and wear something colourful, pink was her favourite colour. Cake and ice cream will also be needed!
Tracey liked a glass of wine on special occasions, so let's raise a glass together in her memory ❤

You brought joy and laughter and had such a sincere loving heart for your family. I loved your honesty- how you would just say it straight was a rare and special quality. Sadly, your time was short, but you made so many special memories that I know will be treasured for many years to come. We will miss you Tracey xxx

It has been so good to get to know Tracey better when she moved down from Norfolk, and especially in the fun birthdays that have been celebrated with her and Paula together. She was never happier than with Paula and I don’t think she could have wished for anything more than to be in Paula’s arms when she died.

You have left a piece of yourself with everyone you ever met and I am truly grateful to be one of those people touched by your cheeky smile and infectious laugh.
