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 her life were her children and what a mother she was. She had so many of your wonderful tributes Maureen, and you should feel very proud for the great job you have done with all of your children. We all are living on borrowed time and every day, no matter how old, young, sick or healthy, is a gift. I know you and Tracey cherished all your time together. Please know that though time has lessened our conversations on the phone and the amount of time we have seen eachother, I think of you often and will continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. No loss is greater than that of losing a child, especially one as beautiful inside and out as Tracey. I recently lost my mother 2 weeks ago so please keep me in your thoughts as well. I know that Tracey and my mom are in heaven together blessing us every moment of every day. Bless you Maureen, be good to yourself and know I am here if you need me. Much love, Maggie

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 touching. I am a mother who went home, hugged her kids and thought of Maureen's grandchildren. Life can be taken too quickly by those who do not deserve this kind of pain. By chance, Maureen Dalton walked into my world on another flight recently. I have read the Guest Book entries and have realized how many lives her daughter has touched. In all these years of flying and hearing many "stories", I will never forget Maureen and her love for her daughter and her family. They are so fortunate to have her in their life.
May God bless the Daltons'.

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 so. 860-651-9443

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 there isn't. I know that the only thing that helps is knowing that people care, so please know that I care. You were so kind and compassionate to us when tragedy touched our family, and I wish you were not going through this. If you ever want to talk, please get in touch. Your family and Tracey's children are in my prayers and thoughts. Please take care of yourself and try not to lose your faith.

Maureen,
I was so sorry to hear about Tracey's death when I read your email you sent me today. I was Tracey's attorney, and I knew her when she was enduring extremely difficult and stressful times in her life. Even then, she was never mean-spirited (even when she had a right to be). To the contrary, Tracey was always classy, cheerful, kind, considerate and level-headed.
All of these positive attributes were displayed by Tracey in the midst of her trials and tribulations. Tracey must have been that much more wonderful, if that is even possible, in her more care-free times!
You can't measure the quality of Tracey's life in years, but in the joy, love, optimism and happiness she brought to so many, particularly her children and family, in the brief period of time God gave her.
May Tracey rest in peace, and may the kindness she showed to all of us continue to live on in our hearts!
My deepest condolences go out to you and your family in this difficult time, Maureen.
Fondly,
Robert Segal

Dear Mrs. Dalton,
Please accept our sympathy for the loss of your daughter. Not only did she touch the lives of many here in New Hartford, she embraced them. We first met Tracey when Michael attended school and scouts with our son. We'd see her, always with a smile, at the soccer and baseball fields, scouting events, parent/teacher conferences or pushing the stroller. It was evident that her children were her world. Our hope is that Michael, Courtney and Jimmy heal and come to know just how powerful their mother's love is.
Tracey will forever be our sunshine and our grace. May you find comfort in the memories that are yours.
Respectfully,
Ron & Betsy Renouf

Mrs. Dalton,
I graduated with Tracey from St Bede's in 1982 (Kathy McKee.) I was so shocked to hear of sudden passing. I am so sorry for your loss---your family is in my prayers. Tracey was such a wonderful person. She always had a smile on her face. I remember her being at most of my birthday parties as a kid. We lost touch after high school but I can only how many lives she continued to touch over the years.

Dear Maureen, Tim and Dennis,
Although ups and downs sometimes overtake us, this such a terrible tragedy for all to go through. As always, Tracey was doing something fun with Courtney, Jimmy and Michael. She will never be forgotten along with the good times that she and I did have. My heart goes out to all who are involved, family, friends, aqaintances and especially my niece and nephews.
All my love.

Dear Mrs. Dalton, Tim, and Dennis,
My dad told me the news of Tracey's passing and sent me her obituary. I am so sorry to hear of this tragic loss. I have such good memories of having lots of fun as a cheerleader with her at St. Bede, spending lots of time together in the summer, and car-pooling to McAuley. Tracey was such an upbeat, happy, kind person. I am still just shocked at this news. All I can think is that God much have needed another angel in heaven. My heartfelt condolences to you and her children,

I'm so sad to hear the news of Tracy. I read about it in the St. Bede Church bulletin and did not believe it was Tracy until I looked just today in the obituary. I have fond memories of cheerleading days and walking home from school days.(it would take 2 hours just to walk down Kostner) Please accept our condolences from the Crivellone Family.

Dear Aunt Maureen, Tim, Lisa and Dennis,
It is with such sadness that I say how sorry I am that Tracey was taken from this world much too soon. I will miss her so much, as I know all of you will too. We shared so many fun times together growing up, and I will cherish these memories always: sleepovers at the Dalton's house (watching Rosanna-Danna on SNL); Irish dancing lessons and competitions (shall we recall the 4-hand dance where her shoe flipped off and we all danced a circle around it?); singing to the Clancy Brothers at Irish Fest at Navy Pier (wearing our hip, Kelly-green sateen South Side Irish jackets); travelling around Ireland together with Colleen; my vacation to Mammoth Cave with the Dalton's (the only thing I remember from that trip is Tracey and I sorting our Froot Loops at breakfast to form a color-coordinated flower in our bowl). It is these stories, and so many more, that bring a smile to my face as I recall them. I hope to pass along these stories to Michael, Courtney and Jimmy someday.
The day after her funeral, we had many sun showers through out the day in Okinawa, and as a result, many rainbows. Driving home from church that day (with tears streaming down my face), I told my kids that Tracey was letting us know that she made it to heaven. I know she is happy to be with Uncle Jim once again, and it is comforting to know he was there to greet her.
Her dedication to, and her love for all of you - especially her children - was always apparent. I hope that you all feel her loving presence from heaven in your hearts.
Love, Kelly

Dearest Aunt Maureen, Tim and Dennis,
I wish I could find the words to express my sorrow for losing Tracey, but I can only say how deeply sorry I am. Tracey was my closest cousin in age and friendship and I will miss her dearly.
I can remember when we were little, all of our happy times playing together at your house in the basement with Kelly and sometimes Erin (when she wasn't playing with the boys). I remember.. playing school in the basement and Tracey had the most perfect hand-writing that her brothers claimed she would spend hours perfecting...playing barbies with the next-door neighbor, Kim...Aunt Maureen finding cut doll hair in Tracey's jewelry box, that was before her hair-do's on her barbie head that she then received...sleepovers in her bedroom with the canopy bed...family vacations to Sunnybrook farm...Dalton family visits to our homes in Kentucky and Iowa, with Tracey spending several weeks with us by herself learning to dive off the diving board which resulted in many belly-flops...Irish dancing with us at the Dennehy's school and travelling to Feises with our moms, one time going to King's Island Amusement Park where Tracey lost her glasses on the Beast roller coaster, which did not please Aunt Maureen...watching her be a cheerleader for St. Bede's school...always going to play at Durkin Park. As we grew older, Tracey, Kelly, and I travelled around Ireland together for 10 days in '89...we had a blast touring, shopping, meeting Irish people and of course attending the pubs searching for an Irish beau, but calling all of our beaus back home on a pay phone late one night after the pubs closed...I did all the driving on the wrong side of the road while Kelly and Tracey were cringing in the back seat...blasting music and singing at the top of our lungs as we drove through the Ring of Kerry. I also have great memories of standing up in each others weddings...meeting for lunch downtown when we were working...visiting each other when we had babies...going to Chuck E. Cheese with Ryan and Michael and sometimes Grandma White or just going to dinner with them at Baker's Square.
I will miss laughing and dancing with her at family weddings and crying with her at funerals. I will miss the family get togethers where we had so much fun reminiscing with our siblings. I will always remember the last day she was at my house in August with Kelly and Erin and all of our kids together for a pizza party...we managed to take a picture of all 16 of our children together as we all took great pride in being mothers ...and a picture of us 4 cousins together just as we were growing up.
Even though my tears grow less every day, I will never forget my memories of all the fun times us cousins had together! Tracey,"Chewey Chops", "Racey Tracey", Trace...I find comfort in knowing that you are at peace with God and in Uncle Jim's arms, but my heart will always ache for my cousin. I pray that Aunt Maureen, Tim, Dennis, Lisa, Michael, Courtney,and Jimmy will heal from their tremendous loss, but we will all keep Tracey's memories alive.
Love and prayers,
Cousin Colleen

Dear Mrs. Dalton, Timmy, Dennis, Michael, Courtney and Jimmy,
My heart breaks for all you. I still can't believe that this horrible tragedy is real.
When I think back of the wonderful times we all shared together as kids, I think of Tracey's kind ways and her beautiful smile. I always looked forward to going to your house so I could play with Tracey. Being younger, I always looked up to her because she was older and certainly much cooler than me and most importantly we shared a name. Nobody else spelled their name like ours and that was really neat to me. To this day, I am proud of that and even more so now. That will always be my special connection to her.
Over the past years, I didn't get to see Tracey very often. But when I did, it was like no time had passed. She was still the smiling, energetic, fun loving person she was a child. I was always glad to see her and hear about her children.
I pray for all of you as you learn to live without her. I pray you find comfort in each other and in all the people that loved Tracey. I pray for the day when her memories bring smiles to your faces and your hearts and not tears.
Love,
Tracey Monahan

Dearest Aunt Maureen, Tim, Lisa, Dennis, Michael, Courtney
and Jimmy,
There will never be any words that can express the sorrow in all our hearts of what has happened to Tracey.
Her beautiful zest and love for life was evident in the many friends and family that shared stories and memories of her these last several days. Her smile, her loving ways and devotion to her mom, dad, brothers, children and nieces, cousins, aunts, uncles and mutiltude of friends from all over the world was truly a gift she gave so easily.
I heard a saying the other day and wanted to share this with you because to me it so true of our beautiful, devoted TRACEY.
"You will not always remember what someone said to you, you not always remember what someone does for you but, you will ALWAYS REMEMBER HOW SOMEONE MAKES YOU FEEL."
That was TRACEY....you would never leave after seeing her without knowing that TRACEY really cared about you. Whenever you left from being with her you were happier and felt better because of HER.
Michael, Courtney and Jimmy
You will here over and over again how much your MOMMY loved you and she did.
She was so devoted to all of you. You were her life, the reason she lived everyday so beautifully.
As, you grow
we will all share our memories of her with you. You will know her well because we all will continue to celebrate her life. Know her and Grandpa are watching over you.
She is beaming with pride and love for her beautiful children.
She is not gone. In heaven she is your angel. Pray to her. Your MOMMY is always with you.
I will continue to flood heaven with prayers for all of you.
God's treasure of TRACEY was a gift that no one can ever take from us.
I was blessed to call her my cousin. I was honored to be her confirmation sponsor. You all were blessed to call her daughter, sister, MOMMY and friend.
With a broken heart......
my prayer for all of us is healing
Sending you much love and peace.
LOVE YOU ALL,

My Dearest Maureen, Tim and Dennis,
The pain in my heart is almost unbearable as it aches for your huge loss. I was devastated when I heard the news about Tracey's untimely death last Sunday evening. I will always remember her gentle ways and captivating smile. I’ll especially remember the cute little way she’d always smile at me and say “Hi Aunt Diane”. I can still very vividly see her sparkling eyes and the cute little way she’d turn her head as she’d giggle when greeting me. Even though we all know that I’m an adopted aunt Tracey always made me feel so special every time she said those two little words to me. My prayers and thoughts will be with you long after all the services are over. Please know that I will always be there for you. All you have to do is call. I'll be in touch soon.
Love always,
“Aunt” Diane

We met you and Tracey six years ago in the Hartford Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit when our twin sons were hospitalized at the same time as Courtney. We formed a lasting bond as our children struggled to become healthy enough to go home, and we treasure the NICU reunions our families spent together. Tracey was a beautiful, caring person and our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you, Michael, Courtney and Jimmy. May God bless your family and aid the children in this time of deep sorrow.

When I was teaching in classrooms I couldn’t help but characterize my students. In the back of my head I would think, this kid reminds me of X and that student reminds me of Y. I would associate these students with kids I knew when I was younger. On occasion I would meet an extraordinary young lady: exceptionally smart, talented, compassionate, beautiful and dedicated to doing the right thing. Those young ladies would be the “Tracey Dalton’s” of the class. It always brought a smile to my face to know there are still individuals like that out there.
Tracey will be missed.
My condolences to the Dalton family and to all who knew her,

I am in shock. My deepest sympathy for all who have been blessed to know her. She was simply one of the most beautiful people we have been graced with. Her heart and her smile touched everyone whom she knew. God bless and watch out for her children. My heartfelt condolences.

I have fond memories of Tracey from St. Bede grammar school. The Dalton family was an important part of making our parish a great community to grow up in. My condolences are with her family.

My heart and soul ache for all of you...I will always remember enjoying Tracy's company at Ryan celebrations...and I still remember her as a little girl when she would come over to visit the Ryan's and I would be babysitting them. I will always remember what a loving mother she was...her legacy of love will continue in the lives of her beautiful children...they will carry "her" love and spirit with them everywhere they go...Tracy's "unconditional love" was the greatest gift of all to her children! She knew how to love that way....because that's how she was loved as she grew into the beautiful woman God created her to be. I know her Dad is hugging her right now...always remember them in the stories you tell...in the way you now continue to live your lives...in the love you give! Our love, prayers and deepest sympathy to you all. Peace in Christ...Kerry & Joe & family
