I had a dream about you last night. I was needing someone to help me and you came over and said you would help me with that great big smile of yours. Then we laughed like we use too. Thinking of you. I love you and miss you so much Tracy!!!

I miss you. As I go through each day, there are so many moments that I want to share with you. I feel like it's silly to talk to you here like you can see it. Taylor is doing so well. You would be so proud of him.
Well, I love you. I miss you terribly. Till we meet again.

I want to write a message to Trace as if he may actually see or hear it. It seems odd but here goes. If only I could have one more day, just one. Of course I would want another and another...but I wish so much to tell you how much I love you and what you mean to Taylor and I. I know I told you often, at the end of every phone conversation, every time you drove away from my house, on every card or note. But if only I could have one more full day to find the perfect words and to be absolutly positive that you knew thier depth. You were always the one. From that first day in 9th grade through today at age 46 I still got excited when your name appeared on my phone. My heart would do a little "flutter" when I would see your truck pull in our drive. It sounds so silly but it's so true. I miss you so much it's hard to get through some days. We laughed and laughed and laughed some more and I would think to myself "He's the only man in the world that gets me." No other man knew me like you did. It's almost impossible to believe that you're gone. I will treasure and keep our precious memories alive forever. You live in me...and in our beautiful son always.

The guy who touched the lives of anyones path that you've crossed!!! Tracy, you left too early for all of us...If you only had known how much you captured the hearts of all of our lives. The sweet tender children that are here to carry on your name and legacy...we hope they will find peace in your memories of your friends, families and the tenderness and the love you brought to so many of us. Your legacy will live on through your beautiful children...We would only be so lucky to know them and share the lives of the legacies of your sweet spirit you handed down to your generation. May GOD give them the peace they so much deserve to carry on and soften their hearts to know that everything happens for a reason and GOD will not give them more than their sweet spirits can endure. As one day they will be with you again...

Although we lived in different states, I was very close to Tracy. We talked a lot on the phone, sometimes for an hour or more. We could talk about anything or nothing at all. I will miss that terribly and his gorgeous smile! He had a great sense of humor and was a very compassionate person.

Tracy...I heard this morning that you left to go to Heaven. For now until we meet again.... You will always have a special place in my heart....I told my son about you. I shared with him how we played together when we were kids, in the neigborhood and climbing trees. I have loved you so much for so long. As we grew up, we had fun as teenagers and into our adult years. I so much wanted to introduce you to my son as you have one of the most beautiful spirits. Tracy you are intelligent, kind, protective, funny, athletic and always the best looking guy in the room that had all of the attention! Tracy you made me laugh and see the light side of life. When I think of you, I have a big smile on my face as when I looked at yours...You are so beautiful and you have always warmed my heart and soul. I am so thankful to GOD that we were able to speak by phone one last time...There is a big piece of my heart that I lost this morning when I heard that you left this earth...Until we meet again...I Love You Tracy.....forever.....

If roses grow in Heaven Lord, please pick a bunch for me, place them in my Brothers arms, and tell him they're from me. Tell him that I love and miss him, and when he turns to smile, place a kiss upon his cheek, and hold him for a while.

My condolences to the McDowell family on their loss. Tracy was a kind and loyal friend to all. His passing leaves a void for many of us, but know that he had many friends from elementary to high school who will never forget him and cherish their memories from the past.

Tracy first came into my life when I was 18 years old. Our lives were joined together forever when our son was Taylor born 3 years later on December 7th, 1989. Tracy has had my heart since the first day I met him and will forever. He was an amazing man and friend. My heart goes out to Robin, Sylvia, Jim, and all Tracy's family. I love you guys so much. Tracy, in my heart you live forever.
