I haven’t posted on this page since the store closed but I needed to let all of you know that our dear friend Tracy {TRACY DAY} earned her angel wings last night. As you can imagine, today has been a difficult day for all of those people whose lives she so beautifully touched.
I met and formed a special relationship with Tracy all because of {BLEU CHIC}. I can remember chatting with her in-store in February of 2020 just before the Pandemic shut us down. Soon after that, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer.
I remember thinking she was too young for this to happen. Too kind. Too loving. I remember thinking it wasn’t fair that she was now going to have to battle through all this. She’d visit in store or message me along the way. She told me how she was going to fight through it. She was going to beat the odds. She wasn’t going to give up. And you know what, she was right. She did all of that and so much more.
Tracy spent more than 3 years going through chemo and radiation and numerous surgeries and that fight, that will to survive, that yearning to never give up embodied every single piece of her.
Even as she was going through all of this, she insisted on helping others by putting together a lemonade stand along with her friend Bronwyn to help raise money for Nora, a beautiful little girl who was fighting her own battle with cancer. God decided to welcome Nora home earlier this year.
My heart is just breaking today. Tracy has forever touched my life in ways I can’t describe. I will never forget her, her adoration for her nieces she so affectionately spoke about, her crush on Gavin from Bush, her love for her family especially her mom and her sister and of course her fondness for {BLEU}.
Tracy fought and she fought so damn hard. She did beat the odds, inspiring everyone she came into contact with. She never gave up. Ever.
God decided He has other plans for her and aren’t we blessed to have been able to spend the time we had with her?
I’ll miss your smile and I’ll miss your courageous spirit. I love you Tracy. Fly high and please watch over all of us.🦋
