We are sadden by the sudden lost of Tracy, not only was she such a good friend to many but she was a loving sister. I was truly blessed to have her in my life for 38 years. We had so many good times together as a family with Tracy around she will truly be missed. Angie, McKenzie and I feel that on May 31 part of us went with her that day. However we have a promise from God that one day we will be reunited with her in heaven. I want to thank all who have called, sent flowers, cards, food, e-mails and to many who came to the funeral home to express their condolence. Especially your prays. Please continue to lift my family up in your prays. Thanks

I am so very sad and sorry that Tracy passed away. I loved her so much. Several years ago she was my hair dresser and I worked with her at Cingular Wireless. She was so beautiful and loved by everyone. She is so truly missed. My sincere condolences to her family.

Vanover Family,
I can't begin to express my sympathy for your loss. Tracy was one of the kindest, loving people I have ever known. We were sister-in-laws for a short time (when she was married to Scott) and I always considered her a friend. Her thoughtful nature and beautiful spirit will surely be missed. My heart aches for you and all that love her. I know the pain of losing a child, I will pray for God to comfort your broken heart. She was always so good to Brittany and my family, We all cared very much for her and will miss her always... I am sure she is now dancing with the angels. May God Bless you and comfort you....and always know you will be together again. I will keep your entire family in my prayers.

We are so deeply saddened by your loss. Tracy was such a kind and caring person - I have worked with her at Cingular in the Tech Department. It was such a joy to come to work and see her smiling face and cheerful words. She will be sorely missed. The whole Vanover family is in our prayers. God bless.

Sandy and I were extremely saddened and shocked to hear about the death of Tracy. She was such a delightful person. We remember her as a fun loving teenager. She, Marian, and Angie were the best of friends. She referred to Marian as Rosie. My mother told me that it is so difficult to lose a child. She lost two before I was born.
Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear of Tracy's passing. I only learned about it today, as I've been out of work for over a week. I trained Tracy when she was new to the company, and we stayed close after that. A kinder person I've never met. The last time I saw her she was smiling, as always. She always made you feel like family. I will miss her, and I'm so sorry for your loss. Love, Alison

Just like all the messages here, I feel that it was a true privelage to have known Tracy. I met Tracy when I became her manager at Cingular. She was a joy from the very beginning. Her personality was so bright that she could only be a true gift from God. I had never met anyone who could face every challenge as positively as she did. I will always remember her laugh. Even in a bldg as big as Cingular, if you heard it, you knew it was Tracy. I could always count on her to brighten my day. If I was having a bad day I could just go talk to Tracy about anything, just talking to her made any day brighter. She was truly an example to all of us of how we should live our lives. Words will never be enough to describe how wonderful a person she was. Tracy you may be gone, but you will never ever be forgotten. You touched a lot of lives and I will carry you in my heart forever. Until me meet again, I love you!

Tracy was one of my first friends in grade school and we were so close all through school. She was so bubbly, hilarious and full of life. I've been thinking a lot about her these last few days and recounting lots of memories of the times we shared. I will cherish, and never forget, memories of all the fun times Tracy, Winnie, Michelle and I had together growing up. We were quite a group! It is very hard for me to accept the passing of someone who was such an integral part of my life growing up, but I know Tracy is with her Lord now and that gives me peace. To Bob and Johanna, and Stevie and Randy, I am so sorry for your loss, and I am holding you in my thoughts and prayers during what has to be one of the most difficult times of your lives.

Some of my fondest memories from middle school are of hanging out at the Vanovers' . . . and it was such a popular place to be. Everyone loved to hang out at the Vanovers'. And everyone loved Tracy. Her sense of humor and warm smile could light up a room. Her kindness and caring made such a difference for so many. You are all in my prayers.

I had the pleasure of working with Tracy at Applied Cards. I instantly felt like I had known her all my life. She was such an inspiration to everyone who worked with her. She was always thinking of others. Tracy touched so many lives. I could go on and on...You will be missed and loved by so many. God is watching over her and her family. My condolences. I will miss her.

I grew up being blessed to be welcomed as an extended part of the Vanover household. Most of the best memories of my youth centered around Steve and Tracy and Randy and of course Bob and Johanna. I remember once Tracy babysat me and my brother and as soon as my parents were gone she entertained us solidly for hours until they got back. Tracy was always warm and kind and just a wonderful person. She would get band-aids for us when we would skin our knees playing baseball in the back yard and look after us if we were in the street with our bikes.
I am saddened that of all the families this terrible thing could touch it had to happen to the Vanovers. You would be hard pressed to find a finer family, one that is more open and inviting.
I want to apologize that I did not find out about this until Sunday afternoon or I would fly back (I live in Oregon). Just please know that my hearts and prayers are with you guys and I hope that this trial will not end the wonderful family that you all have created and allowed us to participate in. The world is a better place for it.

I met Tracy at Applied Cards and then again at Cingular. She was on my team and used to make me laugh whenever I heard her deep hearty laugh. I used to stand at her desk and look at the pictures she so proudly displayed of those neices that she loved so dearly. They were her life and we used to talk about how much fun she would have with them. We also talked about how her mother Johanna took such good care of me and my sisters when we were pregnant with our children. I was so sad and shocked to learn of her death and even sadder that I work at the hospital and had no idea that she was there. I missed a chance to say goodbye to her and tell her what a beautiful person inside and out she truly was. I remember when I found out about her cancer and talked with her after her surgery. She still was the happiest most fullfilled person I had ever met. She made me smile, because since I had lost my mother I had never met anyone that had the same laugh and smile that could fill up a room like Tracy did. I hope the family knows how many lives that lady touched. I love you Tracy.

Father God, we come before you in a time of sorrow and loss of a friend. Father, we ask that you lift Tracy into your arms and welcome her home. We ask that you lay your hands on the Vanover family and be a comfort to them at this time. Tracy was a really sweet girl who had a heart of gold that matched her smile. She will be missed but always remembered by those of us who knew her. Father, I just ask that moments such as these will draw us closer to You and hopefully closer to each other, as friends, as family and as brothers and sisters....all this I ask in Jesus most Holy name, I pray,
Amen

we are all sadden by the loss of such a wonderful person. our lives were truly blessed to have been able to know Tracy. Tracy ws such a joy to be around. She was always so positive and friendly to everyone. She always had a smile on her face and kindless to everyone she came in contact with. She has touched a lot of lives. I count it as such a priviledge to have been able to have worked with Tracy at Cingular. Your family will continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

I was deeply saddened when I read of Tracy's death in the paper Friday morning. Tracy and I shared homeroom together all thru high school. She was always one of the happiest, and sweetest people as long as I've known her. I know she will be greatly missed. I will be praying for all of you, and although time and our own families have have kept us from seeing each other as much as we used to, I count all of you as dear friends.
God Bless

The Vanover family,
I wish to express my deep felt sorrow for your loss. Tracy was a friend of mine since childhood. I first met Tracy in Middle School when it was called Coles-Putnam. She was in a lot of my classes but I didn’t get to know her well until she and my brother Lloyd was girlfriend-boyfriend (as children would call it). I liked Tracy from the start because she would defend me when the other kids would tease me, like a big sister. In later years after our mother passed and we moved out of state I lost touch with her but never forgot about what a kind tenderhearted kid she was. In the past 7 years I got to know Tracy again and even had the privilege to work with her in two separate jobs with the last being at Cingular. She had a way of noticing things about people that most of us ignore. She had a beautiful persona that just said, “I am Tracy, here I am-talk to me”. When I got cancer Tracy knew I was struggling and even gave me some of her own clothes to wear and she didn’t even think twice about doing it. I never asked her, she just left them on my desk as if to say, “I care about you”. Well I cared about her. When Tracy told me she had cancer I was so sad to know that such a lovely person, as she, would have to suffer. I know you will never have the comfort of having Tracy around, yet take ease in knowing she no longer suffers. It’s those of us still here that suffer the most. I will miss Tracy so much. God bless you all.
