GUARDIAN ANGEL
B
LACKTOWN has its very own Guardian Angel and Tracy Connolly is her name. Now, Tracy will be a little embarrassed that I called her a Guardian Angel, but she has certainly earnt the title many times over. She has opened her own home to more than 75 children in foster care down through the years as well as raising four children with her husband John. In fact, John is a key part of her foster care work and together they form a great team. He has been a supervisor with Coca Cola Amatil, now Visy Beverage, for 27 years. “Foster carers are all just everyday kind of people who have a little bit extra love to give,” she said. More: page 5
