Helmet Raising

⁃    For those whom cycling was your connection to Tracy, Pam asks that you bring your helmet.  At the end of the service, Pam will ask for fellow riders to raise their helmets in honor of Tracy and his time shared with you.

Pam recognizes the extent of experiences shared with Tracy both on and off the bike.  She would like to honor Tracy and his “pursuit of a great piece of pie” by inviting everyone to join her at her home for pie, cinnamon rolls, stories and photos immediately following the service at the funeral home.  Coffee, Tea and water will be provided.

She wants to hear your stories about Tracy and be surrounded by the community she and Tracy shared.  If you would like to share your photos of Tracy with Pam, please bring a USB thumb drive and we’ll copy them to a hard drive

Hope to see you there as we honor, celebrate and lay to rest a leader in the Springfield cycling and Christian community.
