Tracey Matthews (1 Nov 1966 - 11 Oct 2024)

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

We enjoyed seeing more of Tracey mostly at Paula's when she moved to the Southampton area. This news was so sad. Much love to you Paula and your family.

Special memories after meeting & sharing a college placement together at a local care home 41years ago - will miss your regular letters & you were so thoughtful always remembered my family’s birthdays. Remembering such a lovely smile & loved your chortle of laughter Tracey.
Sending love & condolences to Paula & family xx

Fond memories from our childhood when life was happy and uncomplicated. Sincere condolences to sister Paula on this sad but special day; rest in peace.

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 ❤

I like to think that you are enjoying a jigsaw somewhere, Tracey. Sending lots of love x

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

Sorry to hear this love you Tracey now go and be with your lovely family x

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.

I will always see you shining bright through the nights sky.
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.
