More Memories of Grandma Tracy

Ever since Tracy's sad passing 3 weeks ago I've been wanting to go through our old photos of the McEwan family that we got from Grandpa before he passed away. I went through the box the other day and found over 30 photos of her that were great so scanned them and here they are. We have tried to caption them the best we could and think they are in approximate order of her life.

I may have not known her nearly as well as I would have liked as over the past 10 years her relationship with Jim had often been quite strained but I do appreciate the love she had for us and the care and concern she always showed when asking how we were doing. She was so excited to be a grandma again in May and I am absolutely heartbroken that she won't be here to meet her new little grand one. We will make sure her grandbabies always know who she was and she will definitely never be forgotten.
