As many of you know, my sister/friend and confidant, Tracey Miracle Hagins was the center of her daughter, Jess Marie's world.

She was not only a mom, but a source of unconditional love, strength, and generosity to everyone who knew her. She loved deeply, gave selflessly, and never hesitated to show up for others even when she had little for herself.

Her passing has come as a devastating and unexpected loss to our family and to the many people whose lives she touched. We are now faced with the difficult responsibility of laying her to rest and honoring her life with the dignity she deserves. Her remains are in Florida, where she enjoyed fellowship at the Shabach Church; however, her burial plot is in NYC where her longstanding roots are. Jess is now tasked with getting her mom home for burial.

Although she had recently secured life insurance, circumstances surrounding the timing of her passing have created barriers that prevents Jess from accessing those funds. Because of this, we are humbly asking for support from the community she loved so dearly.

If she ever comforted you, encouraged you, prayed for you, supported you, or made you feel like family, we ask that you consider contributing or sharing this campaign.

No amount is too small, and every act of kindness, whether a donation, a share, or a prayer, means more than we can express.

This is not easy to ask, but we are deeply grateful for the love and support of the village that surrounded her throughout her life.

Thank you for helping us celebrate her legacy and honor her memory.

With sincere gratitude and love ❤️
