After 15 years of fighting cancer, 31 years of marriage to me and flashing her beautiful smile countless times in countless places touching countless hearts, Tracy Kennington Hastings quietly slipped away overnight at the Bailey Family Hospice Center in St Augustine, the city of her birth. She was and still is loved by many and will be missed, especially by me. I love you Tracy
