Feeling Losses

/ Richard R. Barron / 4 Comments
While we waited I squeezed off a few frames of Tracy, and thought out loud that I would love for Abby and me to shoot her next album cover. Her label is Back Road Management, and her style is "Red Dirt."

My friend Tracy Nicole Holman passed away recently after a lengthy illness. She was young and beautiful and I was always glad to see her.

The last thing she posted to social media was, “Eating a piece of candy found in the jeans that had a run through the washer…. I’ll live, right??!!”

I am feeling very sad that she is gone. She was just 31.

Tracy Holman, whose radio DJ name was Tracy Nicole, died today. She is pictured here in 2008 holding her guitar, "Gypsy."

  1. I am very sorry about the loss of your friend Tracy. I really hate to see anyone get laid off especially at a newspaper job. I worked at the Taj Mahal back in the 90s and early 2000s. Actually I worked at a district office but I did have to go to the office on the Broadway Extension quite often. I miss the Golden Age of newspapers.

  4. I Googled Miss Holman’s obituary/guestbook, and came across this condolence: “May God soften your sadness with remembered joys”. I love that and will use it next time I feel at a loss for words of comfort. I’m really sorry for your — and the world’s — loss.
