There are few people as kind, sweet, and generous as Tracy. As a first cousin, I only knew her through family - but I always knew how much she valued family and showed it in all her actions. In recent years I've had the lovely opportunity to see Tracy and Greg. Tracy was one of the "Beld" clan and was involved in our efforts to honor our Great-Grandfather (Sam Beld) who came to Wisconsin from Bergen Norway. There is a little park in Madison with his name. Now there is a picnic table with a plaque dedicated to him from his descendants. Tracy & Greg jumped on that opportunity to share and support our family roots. Like her, I too love birds and it was fun to share that interest. She left way too quickly and was way too young. I shall miss her sweet, smart and always kind presence. We are all better for knowing and loving her.
