Sad News

For those of you who knew her, I thought that you would want to know; I just got word that Tracy Howard (the original TMS vocalist) died this afternoon at approximately 2 PM after a two-year battle with a rare form malignant melanoma. She died at the home of her friend and caregiver Pam, and was surrounded by her family.

Arrangements are being handled by Pearson-Treadwell Funeral Home in Blackshear, GA. Funeral services will be held on Saturday, 10/21 at Blackshear Presbyterian Church and interment will be in the Blackshear Cemetery. Sympathy may be expressed by signing the online register at www.pearsontreadwell.com.

Tracy had left the band three years ago to devote more time to motherhood as her son Marshall had turned one, but only one year later discovered that she had developed the melanoma. Tracy opted not to try treatments, as her form of melanoma could not be cured. Tracy will always be a part of the TOO MANY SHOES family and she will be missed, but I’m sure she will be singing in her after-life.
