Hello,
We realize that we are very late to express our deepest condolences, but we wanted to let your family and friends know that we will be sending Care Packages to deployed troops this week and several of these will be dedicated to your loved one. Each package will carry the name, photo and hometown of Tracy C. Willis US Army Specialist.
We realize that this is a small tribute, but we do this with all respect and sincerity and we want you to know that it is made possible by thousands of like-minded individuals from across the American youth hockey community, their families and friends and others who support our mission.
We will not forget. May God Bless you and keep you safe and strong.
Sincerely,

Richard,
I know today must be a very hard day for you. I can't even imagine how you must feel and how much you miss your son. The night before Adrian left for Japan I stood in front of your son's picture on my fireplace as it has sat there since the day we got back from his funeral and selfishly asked your son to look over mine as he goes to serve his country as your son did. I say selfishly because I never had the pleasure of meeting Tracy and I'm asking him to do this for me. I'm not a man of faith but I do believe in angels like my late grandmother and your son. Even though Liz and I never met your son WE HONOR his memory and sacrifice for his country. I know words aren't much comfort today but I hope you know that we are thinking about you guys today and this day every year since his passing. Tracey was more of a man than I could ever be. Take care and hopefully you have some comfort in knowing that he is looking down on you with your dad by his side making sure your family is safe. Liz & Dan

Your sacrifice was great and you touched the lives of many. I salute you, Josh, your grandpa, my God father whom you were named after and all Soldiers past and present for all your sacrifices. I wish you were here. Love your dad, Richard Stallworth

you showed me a lot of things,
i learned a lot i did not know,
but you forgot to teach me one last thing
how to let you go,
i know you didnt mean to leave me,
sometimes we have no choice,
i miss being your little sister,
hearing my name called by your voice,
i wish i got to say " I Love You"
before you were giving to the sky,
if god could grant me one last wish
i'd ask to say "Good-Bye"
you always meant a lot to me,
i could never love you less,
i know its true when they say
"He Only Takes The Best"

My brother, Srgt Nick Stetzel was your best friend ever since you two met at Bragg and I am happy that we were able to get to know you and to have the joy of finding out what a great person you are. You touched all of our hearts with your presence. You will forever be missed and I want you to know that we all still think about you all of the time. With much love. Michelle Stetzel

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Willis-
My condolences come two years late, but please know that your son has been thought of and prayed for daily since I recently learned of his story. What a brave young warrior! Well done on raising such a strong, confident man! I am eternally grateful for his sacrifice and heroism! I've seen pictures of him and I've read the multitude of postings about him and it must make you so proud that he was so well-liked and admired by all. I am a veteran too, but my service to our country pales in comparison to what your son did to honor our nation. May God Bless you and hold you for all of your days. Please continue to share his story with other young Americans who might otherwise take their liberties for granted. Thank-you, Willis family, from the bottom of my heart.
With Warmest Regards,
September 23, 2009
Tracy,
I can't believe it has been over two years since your death. I still feel your last hug at FOB Olson after I gave you a pack of smokes and told you that I loved you and "to be careful son". You told me no problem "pops" I will see you after a while. I can't wait for "after a while" to be over so that I can hug you again. I miss you so much and so does your family here in my home. Some days the pain is unbearable until I hear your laughter or remember you coming to the house and going straight to the refrigerator. Then I have to smile because I got the chance to make you part of my family so much that you felt comfortable in my house to feel like one of our sons. Save some food for the rest of your Delta Company bro's up there if you can. Brothers Forever!

The future would 've been exciting to see the choices and things he would've made,but thats gone now, but soon we all will meet again in heaven. Richard and Wilma may nothing but good things happen in your lives, because for you two to bring a hero in this world, you two must've really been heroes in his eyes! He believed in you two, and so do I. I will think him allways.

The day will come when I stand by your side, but until then your memory I hold dear. It was an honor to have helped with your growth in the Army and to share the good times.

We think of you every moment. I walk by the memorial we have at home of you and Josh and I can't help but stop and just stare. Wishing every second you were still here with us. I noticed small little lip prints on the glass, I asked Sam and Jared what it was and they just giggled. They said when they pass by the curio they stop and give you kisses through the glass. They miss you so much. So does Dakota and it hurts her to talk about you being gone but I try to get her too. She just wishes you were here. We all do. We are all trying to hold strong but somedays it just catches up and it's hard. You are always in my heart and thoughts. Anjelica is also always in my heart and thoughts.

I was the medic attached to the recon/scout platoon. Everymorning I pray and think of Tracy and Josh Morley (Reaper2). I am truly bessed to have served with them. May their bravery be remembered. I will never forget Tracy's smile and sense of humor. He got along with everyone and was easy going. Much love, brother.

Tracy was my best friend, for a good while before deployment, we did everything together, no matter if it was going to the gas station, he went, or I went with him. I will always remember him doing the right thing and always smiling and laughing. He was really worried about my family liking him when they came to visit before deployment. When they got here they loved him, I will miss him very much. He will always be remembered.

Dear Family of Spc. Tracy Willis,
My son, Sgt. Andrew Bifulk, served with your son and they had become very good friends while serving together in Iraq.
Spc. Willis' death still has a great effect on my son, so much so that he will not talk about it.
My heart and prayers are with all of you. I am so very sorry.
Sincerely,
Jeanne Bifulk- (mother of Sgt. Andrew J. Bifulk-82nd Airborne Division- Ft. Bragg, N.C.)
In Memory of Tracy ~ (Debra Estep)
August 27, 2008
Holding you all in my thoughts and prayers.
The Wind on The Downs
“I like to think of you as brown and tall,
As strong and living as you used to be,
In khaki tunic, Sam Brown belt and all,
And standing there and laughing down at me.
Because they tell me, dear, that you are dead,
Because I can no longer see your face,
You have not died, it is not true, instead
You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe;
I hear you laughing as you used to do,
Yet loving all the things I think of you;
And knowing you are happy, should I grieve?
You follow and are watchful where I go.”
(Written by Marian Allen during World War l )
Two lines that I wish you to keep near your heart…….
“You seek adventure in some other place.
That you are round about me, I believe”
I did not know Tracy, but I am remembering
his service. He is my hero. !

The Other Side
i'm over on the other side
where life and death softly divide.
left my skin and bones behind
now i'm over on the other side.
can you feel me there with you?
my breath is gone but i'm not through.
loved you then and i still do
from over on the other side.
i can fly. really fly.
below the earth ... all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.
it's good here on the other side.
the sweetest songs...the bluest skies.
thank you for the tears you cried
but it's good here on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth...all through the sky.
tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side
the world is smaller than a needle's eye.
where life and death softly divide.
when you leave your skin and bones behind
i'll be waiting on the other side.
i can fly. really fly. below the earth ... all through the sky.
go tell em all i did not die.
i'm just over on the other side.

The 26th of Aug is coming up and it is very hard as I think you went to heaven almost a year ago. It still hurts as if it was yesterday. Everywhere we go there is something that reminds us of you (a song, a restaurant, a picture, etc). That’s how much you meant to our family. Tracy you are so very missed but I know you are in a better place with our Lord. Know that our family loved you like a son and we think of you every single day. May God embrace your father Richard and mother Wilma during these next few weeks. My prayers are with all of you.

The other day, Samantha was feeling sad; she said she wished she could see you. Jared then said I wish Tracy was like Iron Man. I asked him what he meant by that and he said that way the bullet would bounce off Tracy and he wouldn’t die. I didn’t know what to say. They didn’t get to know you well but we talked about you and Angelica all the time. We all miss you so much son, it’s still so hard. This coming week your sister Dakota is running in the Junior Olympics and she is running in your honor. She is running the hurdles like you and I did. She loves it and she is doing it for you. She will have your number and the American flag on her uniform. You and your sister are thought of every day as always. I know some day we will see you again but for now, know that we love you and miss you very much.

Tracy, you are greatly missed. The news of your passing was very hard on me as im sure we crossed paths somewhere in the middle east but never quite realized it. No long periods of time go by when i dont think about you and wonder how nice it was going to be when we finally got to meet up again back home after the military and share stories from iraq and other countries overseas. Mr and Mrs willis if your reading this or anyone who knew tracy as well as i did i love you guys and just know that tracy is always on my mind. I grew up with tracy since the 4th grade and he was the first friend i had ever met moving to TEXAS. After that we went to middle school together and played football, highschool together and played football, and we even played football in the same conference in college for a season. so my roots with tracy go way back i miss you brother and when i get out of the military i promise i will track your family down and catch up with everyone sorry for not being at the funeral as well mr. and mrs. willis i have been overseas most of my enlistment until now. take care and GOD BLESS

Tracy, God bless you soldier and thank you for your brave and honorable service to a grateful nation and for paying the ultimate price for our freedom.. You are now in great company with God and so many other fallen hero's before and after you. On 5/6/08 my nephew PFC Aaron J. Ward was killed in action in Iraq and my final promise to him was to never forget him and our fallen hero’s, we will never forget their commitment and sacrifice. Willis family, words cannot express the pain we now share, but our families will forever have a bond and we will be thinking of Tracy and your family and will keep you in our thoughts & prayers. Please accept my heart felt condolences and my prayer that god help you cope with this tragic loss and may the memories of your HERO carry you through each day. From one Gold Star family to another!

Tracy Stallworth (Willis),
A son, brother, grandson, and nephew. Even though you have many titles the one you will so lovingly be remembered for is HERO. You gave the ultimate sacrifice....YOURSELF.
For that I am sad and very proud. I love you and will never forget you. I will keep you in my heart.
To my brother Richard Stallworth(Father), Wilma Willis (Mother)
I am so sorry for the loss of your son , my nephew Tracy Clint. I hope you will find comfort knowing that he is an angel in heaven watching over us. May your pain subside but the memories of Tracy Clint live on.

I knew Tracy in high school, he was always kind and always pumped and ready to go. He had a way of making everyone smile and he will be truly missed. He is home now and looking down on the rest of us. God Bless his soul. May he rest in peace.

Rich, Tracy served his country and now he is serving God. After the funeral service I was so relieved to find out Tracy was a Christian. Rich, Tracy is in a wonderful place now and I pray that one day we will all be with him serving God. We love you Brother Rich

Richard,
I was both shocked and saddened to hear of your son's death. I don't know of any eloquent way to express my gratitude to Tracy for serving this great country other than affirming that freedom is indeed, not free. Tracy paid the ultimate price with his life and you will forever miss him. The man died a hero...which is a lot more than most people will ever get to say.
Your Friend,

Richard,(My Dearest Brother-in-Law)
I am so sorry for the loss of your son Tracy. My heart goes out to you. I didn't get the chance to meet him but just knowing you was like knowing him. He was so much like you in so many ways. Everything said about him was like talking about you. Athletic, a good heart, strong mind, and always putting his friends first before himself. Wow thats so you. I am sorry you will not get to enjoy his presence but he is with you in spirit and God knows how much you love him and wished to have been with him. He is a true Hero to me and my family, you, his family and to his country. May God comfort you and your Son Tracy smile down at you alwasy.

Son, There has always been an empty feeling in my heart and now it has grown even more. There is no father more proud of there son as I am with you. I just wish I could have been with you more but I will always remember our fishing trip where you hooked me in the back. The scar is still visible as my love for you and Anjilica has always been. Rest in peace and know that I kept my word to you. I love you and miss you more than words could say. With love and admiration, Your father Richard A. Stallworth.
To anyone reading this, please enjoy the photos in the PHOTO ALBUM section and know my children have always been my world.

Daryll and Wilma,
I know nothing I say can ease your pain, but I wanted you to know that you raised a fine young man who was mature, considerate, well-mannered, a joy to be around and movie star handsome. Tracy was a gem among men. I'll miss his smile.
