Tracey A. Dalton

Dearest Maureen,
I am so sorry I am so delayed in signing Tracey's guest book. There is nothing one can say to soften the anguish you feel since losing your beautiful daughter. I am sure there have been many lonely and sad days, and nights since her passing. Life is funny and God sometimes takes loved ones from us, leaving us feeling scarred. For the short amount of time that I knew Tracey I know she adored you and Jim, as well as her brothers Dennis and Timmy. The biggest joy of...

Dear Dalton Family,

I knew Tracey as a classmate and friend from Valpo. I was deeply saddened to hear of her accident and the world has lost a beautiful, loving woman.

I was very saddened to learn about Traceys passing which I saw in the Spring 2006 Valparaiso University Magazine. Tracey and I went to college together at VU and I remember her fondly. She was a friend who will be greatly missed.

Dear Dalton Family,
Although I have never met Tracey I have had the pleasure of meeting her mother, Maureen on two of my flights as a Flight Attendant. It is compelling to say that after 12 years of flying you meet someone who touches your heart. While I have only spoken with Maureen on these two occasions, the first being the day after her daughter Tracey's death, I found her to be so strong while she had me in tears. Her photos, stories, and rememberances of her daughter were...

Dear Mrs Dalton-

I am very sorry for your loss. Tracey frequented my store, MOTOPHOTO in Avon. My staff and I had the great pleasure of getting to know her and the kids. You contacted the store back in December about the tragic loss, looking for any photos that may have been left here. Today, I came across a roll of film she dropped off that was filed under a Lapore. I want to send it to you but have not been able to find a number or address. Please contact me so I may do...

I was very saddened by the news of Tracey's death. I will always remember her beautiful smile. My condolences go out to all of you.

Dear Michael, Courtney and Jimmy,
I am so sorry about your loss. We miss you and hope to see you soon Mike. Your mom was a great person. Keep in touch. Love, Jillian

Maureen, Dennis and Timothy,
My heart aches after learning of your great loss. You and Tracey's children are remembered in my daily prayers.
I will miss our talks at the kids' sport games and the lunches and play dates with Jimmy and Jarrett.
Tracey was a wonderful mother and a good friend.
God Bless-

Dear Maureen - You may not be familiar with my name - I'm Joanne Longshore's sister in law, George's sister. My heart goes out to you and your family on the loss of your daughter. I never met Tracey, but I've heard wonderful things about her. Once your life has been touched by something tragic like this, you understand it in a different way. You and your family were on my mind all through the holidays. I wish there were something I could do to take some of your pain away, but I know...
