My mom, Tracy Ann Smith, was one of those people you just don’t forget. She loved everyone—and I truly mean everyone. It didn’t matter who you were or where you came from, she had a way of making you feel seen, safe, and cared for.

She had the kindest heart and the most beautiful soul. Her smile could light up a room, and if you knew her, you know exactly what I mean. She was the type of person who would give you her last dollar, sit with you through your hardest days, and still somehow make you feel like everything was going to be okay.

She was very free-spirited, a little “hippie” at heart. She loved her turquoise jewelry, anything celestial—sun and moon—and her favorite colors were grey and yellow. She found beauty in the little things and carried so much light within her.

More than anything, she loved her family. She was a devoted wife to Greg, and an incredible mom to me, Paige, and my brother Michael. We were her whole world, and she made sure we always knew how deeply we were loved.

We are asking for help during this time to cover expenses and to give her the celebration of life she deserves. If you’re able to donate, share, or even just keep our family in your thoughts, it truly means everything to us.

Thank you for loving her with us
