i want to say another thing. my gramps was the best man ever. he touched everyone lives and im proud to be his granddaughter. "Why spend your time crying, push those tears away and think about the good he has done. He has touched all of our hearts and he is in everyone. You will never walk alone because he is right by your side. If you feel lonely just look up at the stars and think of him, his spirit lives in all of us."

WAIT FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!

When somebody dies, a cloud turns into an angel, and flies up to tell God to put another flower on a pillow. A bird gives the message back to the world, and sings a silent prayer that makes the rain cry. People disappear, but they never really go away. The spirits up there put the sun to bed, wake up grass, and spin the earth in dizzy circles. Sometimes you can see them dancing in a cloud during the day-time, when they're supposed

to be sleeping. They paint the rainbows and also the sunsets and make waves splash and tug at the tide. They toss shooting stars and listen to wishes. And when they sing wind-songs, they whisper to us, don't miss me too much. The view is nice and I'm doing just fine.



My deepest sympathy and warmest concerns to all the members of the Tracy Family.

Uncle Oliver was the most warm and loving man. Geographical distance did not limit the his loving nature. He touched me with such kindness and love, I shall never cease to miss him. He will live forever in our memories.

Oliver was a blessing to us all. He was always bright and cheery and shared his contagious optimism. He was generous in sharing his love of life with all his contacts. I am proud to have been his brother for 85 years and will truly miss him.

I love you dad.

I will try to be more like you because you have showed me what the true meaning of life is. Giving to people around you and being loved by people that you touch. What a fine example to follow.

I promise that you will never be forgotten



Love, your son Michael
