Not sure what to say?

Tracie,
We just heard the news about Dee while watching the Air Force Football bowl game today. We remember our time as neighbors in Florida with great fondness, especially the times when you came over to the house to visit. We are so sorry and send prayers for you and your family. Dee was such an awesome person, so kind and positive.

I remember Dee as a cadet that came to the Cadet Graphics office while I was assistant manager there. He was a wonderful young man, and so very kind. We chatted many times and he impressed me with his manners, decency, knowledge and humility. He was quite a well known cadet at the Academy, never letting his prowess inflate his ego. I pray for all those that loved him and know God has him in His loving arms. I will miss knowing he is here on earth, but know he is in a better place. ...

I just found out about your passing, I remember our phone conversations when I was in high school and you were at the academy. You were my favorite quarterback of all time and always will be. My condolences to the family. May God strengthen you in the absence of this great man. He will never be forgotten.

Tracie, we grieve with you over your great loss. We had the privilege of knowing Dee while he was at the Academy.

Tracie,
You are very special to us, and we grieve with you. Dee was an amazing Falcon and even a better example of a Godly husband, father, and friend. Both of you have been an inspiration to us through the years. May the Lord comfort you at this difficult time.

So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in God's promises for our lost loved ones.

Tracie, we are praying for you and your family.

I saved newspaper articles about Dee and all his accomplishments during his football years and was able to give them to his Mother. My husband and I so enjoyed watching his capabilities pour forth at the AFA football games. What talent! God bless you and may He surround your family with comfort.

As a USAFA '90 grad I was saddened to learn of Dee's death. We're all inexplicably linked by our time at that place. There will never be another Dee. He WAS the bell curve! Prayers for his friends and family.
