Loss of Tracy Pleva Hill
Some of you may or may not know, Jeff's ( founder of Turbotrix ) wife Tracy had been fighting Stage IV breat cancer for eight years now. She unfortunately lost her battle on Friday Feb. 20, 2009. Tracy was one of those people that left a lasting impression. She was the strongest person I know and battled cancer like no one I have ever known.
RARITAN TOWNSHIP, NJ - Tracy Pleva Hill, age 41 years, of Flemington, NJ, passed from this life on Friday, February 20, 2009, wrapped in the loving arms of her family after an eight-year warrior's battle with breast cancer.
Tracy is survived by her loving husband, Jeff and adored son, Jason; her parents, Joyce and Ted Pleva of Somers, NY; her sisters and brothers-in-law, Liza and Mark Donoghue of Wappingers Falls, NY, Katie and Matt Wineman of Woodbine, MD, and Jamie Pleva of Somers, NY; her grandmother, Geraldine Maday; her mother-in-law, Peggy Hill of Greensboro, NC; and a sister-in-law, Cindy and husband Wendell Roth of Greensboro, NC.
She was a loving aunt to Lily and Rowan Donoghue, Jack and Nathan Wineman, and Pete and Alexis Roth.
She was pre-deceased by her father-in-law, William Alfred Hill.
Tracy was an advocate for the Young Survival Coalition (YSC), an organization dedicated to young women with breast cancer. Tracy was featured in two of their videos, "Fighting For Our Future" and "The Beautiful Eight".
Tracy deeply touched all who knew her with her wit, beauty, and inspirational spirit. Her one desire was to do the Chicken Dance with Jason on his wedding day.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. in St. Magdalen Church, 105 Mine Street, Flemington, NJ under the direction of the Holcombe-Fisher Funeral Home, 147 Main Street, Flemington, NJ. Interment will be private. Calling hours will be Monday from 2:00-4:00 and 7:00-9:00 p.m. in the funeral home. Please visit www.holcombefisher.com for further information or to send condolences.
Instead of sending flowers we are asking people to donate money.

I am sorry but it just makes me angry that a owner of a business is asking for money. I would understand if there was someone tragically killed but with breast cancer you have time to prepare for it. There is probably not any young kids being 41. I was very close to three different women that died of breast cancer so do not think i am heartless. I understand the struggle, and hardship on everyone close.

Spaceball 1- Sorry for your loss with the three women around you who passed. Please read the post again, and then the actual wording on the blog linked in the original post. It states "Per Tracy's request, in lieu of flowers...." It does not state "we did not have time to prepare for this, so give us money."
It is stating, instead of spending the small amount you would of spent on flowers, spend it on her son's future. Nothing more, nothing less. It's not asking you to foot her son's college tuition bill. If you did not plan on sending flowers, no worries.
This was just one last, small, unselfish act from a mother to her son.
Rest in peace Tracy.
