Traci-my friend I never officially met

Friends,

I got sad news.

 

That beautiful mother,

that I know/don't know

from theater camp/soccer/

my town/mutual friends

left us.

 

I was so sad to hear the news.

I am sad I never really knew her,

because I loved her from afar.

 

As villages do,

we must take care of her family.

 

Here's a link to help,

if you can.

 

And a little more about her story.

 



This is my sister Traci's beautiful family (Sophia age 8, Nora Age 6 & Clara age 3). This past week we lost my sister (age 39) due to terminal Cervical Cancer. Both she and her husband were diagnosed with cancer a few days apart from each other. Thank God that her husband Tony is now doing better. As you can imagine we are all very heartbroken at this time. Any donations will be of great help. We have three little Angels that lost their mother.

Now you see why I loved her from afar.

Such a beautiful mom.

 

Darin is coaching soccer

again in the fall.

 

He is requesting Nora

on his team.

 

I am offering carpool

and treat duties,

to assist.

 

We are committed

to the team of villagers

committed to doing our part,

in honoring Mom Traci

and carrying her legacy.

 

The whole thing

is not nice

and not fair.

 

And I don't have

any wisdom

or humor

or insight

to share.

 

I'm just trying to get used to realizing

how much of life and death

 is out of my control,

and the very little that is.

 

I will own that itty bitty piece.

that I can do for this family,

and for the world,

by being there,

and giving love.

 

Always.

 

I ask you to donate,

if it makes sense for you.

 

A drop in the ocean,

changes the ocean,

Friends.
