Amber’s mother, Tracey, was truly one of a kind. She was a hard worker who found joy in everything she did, and her strength shone through even as she battled heart failure. Despite the toll her illness took, Tracey remained adventurous and loved spending time at the beach whenever she could. Her life was forever changed in 2015 when her granddaughter Leyna was born. Tracey adored Leyna with every ounce of her being, and Leyna became her greatest source of strength.

Tracey’s love extended to her kitties, whom she treated as her fur babies and cherished as if they were Amber’s siblings. She also had a unique fondness for pigs—everything about them brought her joy, and it became a quirky part of who she was. On December 12, 2025, Tracey’s heart stopped suddenly, and Amber was faced with the heartbreaking task of bringing her mother home and honoring her final wishes.

Amber is raising funds to help cover the costs of cremation, an urn to keep Tracey close, and a memorial service to celebrate her life. Any support will help Amber give her mother the farewell she deserves and keep her memory alive for family, friends, and all who loved her.
