It is with deep sadness that I share the news of Tracy Mallet’s passing in Oak Forest, IL. Tracy’s death is such a heartbreaking loss, and my heart goes out to all her family, friends, and everyone whose lives she touched. May she rest in peace. Though Tracy and I had our differences in the past, we were able to reconcile and mend our friendship a few years ago, and I will always be grateful for that.
I will deeply miss seeing her smiling face whenever I was out and about—it was impossible not to feel warmth and kindness in her presence. Tracy had a way of making everyone feel valued, appreciated, and loved. Her kindness, generosity, and genuine friendship meant the world to so many, and her smile could light up any room. It feels like God keeps taking some of the best people from us far too soon, and her absence leaves a profound emptiness in our hearts.
I especially want to hold Tracy’s son, Jake, and their entire family in my thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time. May they find comfort in the love of family and friends who care so deeply. Tracy, you will be forever missed. Your warmth, compassion, and friendship made a lasting impact, and your memory will continue to live on in the hearts of everyone who knew you. Rest peacefully, Tracy. You will never be forgotten.
