Tribute

Hi everyone

I recently went through some of my photos and marvelled at a photo on my phone that I had downloaded from the forum sometime ago.  It was painted by Tracey_B


I double checked with the Mods today and yes poor Tracey is no longer with us and they have respectfully given her a Dragonfly.
Tracey was a good scout - she loved to paint and her and her hubby held an Exhibition which raised funds for BCNA.  
Another Perspective Art and Photographic Exhibition — BCNA Online Network

When she was up for it she almost gave us a painting each week to admire.  Some of her paintings are in the earlier pages of Creative Corner.  Check out her painting of a Black Cockatoo!

Such a talented lady!

    Hello @iserbrown,
    Thank you so very much for taking the time to find out about Tracey, as a Metastatic woman I often wonder what has happened to some of our members that we no longer hear from, I used to look forward to seeing what Tracey would paint next, a tribute page would be a a great honour for those who have passed and those who will, as a woman who is 8 years into the cancer path I know that at some point I will join them, thats not being negative, simply brutally honest,my heart goes out again to those of you in lockdown, we here in SA perhaps do not realize how fortunate we are,
    keep warm and safe,

    I always admired Tracey_B's artistic talents on our Creative Corner. I shall miss her work. A talent lost.
    Deepest sympathy to her loved ones.
    Vale Tracey
    Rest In Peace

    Oh that is so sad even though I didn’t know Tracy as she was before my time.
    That painting is amazing and the idea of a tribute page is a good one.

    Hi @iserbrown thank you for beginning this tribute to Tracey to remember her contribution to the network and others that are no longer with us. 

    Below is a short story for those who might not know the meaning behind the dragonfly and its connection to BCNA

    I often wonder what happened to Tracey's posts.  I am saddened by her passing.
    A Tribute Group would also be nice .....

    So sorry to hear of Tracey's passing @iserbrown.   She was such a talented painter and I LOVE that painting of the Tango Dancers.

    What a wonderful idea to have a Tribute Page - for our members who have passed xx

    I am going to go back to Page 1 of Creative Corner & go thru the whole Thread ... it may take a while!! xx

    Please everyone - feel free to pay tribute to anyone you may have known on here who is no longer with us.  It reminds us about the fragility of it all for some of us!

    Take care
