Many on this board hiked ,climbed and travel near and far with this great lady. A very special person and family please send your love and prayers to Brian, Tracie and Talus.

My thoughts are that Tracie is not gone , just we will not see her but she will always be with us. Brian and Talus you are in our hearts.If you need anything we can help you with please just ask.

She helped me expand my hiking horizons including doing Falling Rock Canyon. I always enjoyed hiking with her. Tracie's spirit will always be in the mountains. The Mountains had called and she had to go.

There was one thing stayed in my heart was the experience of one hiker mended her difference in opinions with her when she was alive. They communicated openly about it and developed a great friendship afterward. We should have more of this kind of gathering when we are still alive. https://goo.gl/photos/d26neKFtNRVmP3sX8

Never let the opinions of others form your opinion of a person...meet them, talk to them, become friends with them. Let their actions and reactions towards you form that opinion!
