My sincerest sympathies go to all of you. Losing a sibling and son so soon in life just isn't expected. I know Tracy lived life to the fullest and I'm sure he's up there stirring things up with the rest of our family.

Your Nagging little sister

Lori

Your MOM

Well my brother, a year has past and alot has changed except for this eternal void in the pit of my

stomach. So much was left unsaid,unfinished.I see you in my dreams & you always tell me to go

back.Can't I just stay once to talk?

Well Tracy this always was your favorite time of year,the golfing,boating & getting ready for you pyro side 4th of July. How special you made so many, with the fireworks. Yeah you are the one that got my boys on that kick. It just makes�me smile to think back on the firework displays & the parties & the joy and laughter. You will really be missed this year~ I will buy a special one just for you. You will know it is yours it will be the biggest & brights in the night sky dear brother.I love you & miss you soooooooooo much

Tracy

You entered this world laughing. You must have known something we didn't. You knew how to make me laugh even when I was trying to scold you about something. You lived life to the fullest. I just wish you would have shared your pain with us the way you shared your laughter. We would have all been there for you. Even though you may not have thought that we would. I know you had a few problems with some family members but we all loved you and would have done anything to help you if you would have let us. I hope you have found peace and that you are with your grandparents and frienda who have gone before you. I think of you and pray for you everyday. You will never be forgotten as long as I am alive.

All my love MOM

Your Little Sister

I remember when we were young & I was always by your side.You were my big protcetor & my big brother.How I looked up to you and respected you. I would & still do talk about my big brother.How you really made a difference in my life as adult even if we didn't always see eye to eye. My boys thought of you as a hero,their hero. I am so confused as to why,but I guess we shoouldn't ask why.Since you have been gone there has been a void I can not fill or forget.Not a day goes by that I don't think of you or wish I could talk to you again.

We shared many laughs & good times in the late 80's & early 90's,with the limo rides & partying on your boat with the 6 of us.

And who could ever forget you showing up with the MEGA nerf gun at Christmas.I guess we would have to be the most functional disfunctional family.Somehow we all put everything else aside & for 2 magical days we were a big happy family.With so much joy and happiness.There was not joy & happiness this year for you spent Christmas in heaven.We missed your laughter,your jokes and well we just mised you. Rest in peace my brother, for we will met again soon.

P.S. Say Hi to Grandma & Grandpa for me.
