A Tribute to Charlene

This is my dear friend Dr. Charlene Tracy. She is such an inspiration to me. She died on February 20, 2007, surrounded by friends and family in her beautiful home that she created. I met Charlene in August of 1980 at a La Leche League Meeting in Phoenix, Arizona. She's a native of Buffalo, New York, escaping the cold for the warmth.



We were friends from the beginning, but that is just how Char was, a friend to all. I miss her very much, but also feel her with me, always. Here we are celebrating her birthday. She always knew how to have a good time! Rest in peace sister and I'll see you again for another one of life's wonderful adventures. I love you, md
