I had the pleasure of caring for Tracy at Blodgett hospital, an opportunity that I will never forget. I'd like to extend my condolences to Tracy's family and friends as they go through difficult time.

Dear Weber family, I have so many found memories of Tracy. Tracy had a wonderful sense of humor, and even though she was driven and competitive. She also could see the fun and funny side of things. I can remember when we started the Pom and Dance Team at Byron Center. I soon grew sick of the time commitment, but Tracy pressed on and led that team to success. She always would take the time to get to know someone. She would work tirelessly with a girl until they could feel successful, and she was SO organized. That was a skill I always envied. Tracy was a good friend to me when I started at Rogers. She made sure I had someone to eat lunch with and knew which way my classes were. I will miss her dearly.

I first met Tracy and the rest of the Webers in the summer of 1987 at Oxbow Park. The next year we became 'seasonal campers' at Oxbow and spent the following 8 summers camping with Ellen, Bubba, Tracy and Trav. We left Oxbow after 8 years and like so many friendships, went on with our own busy lives. In July of 2005 I began working at Pine Rest. Shortly thereafter I began reading on the prayer network about a young woman with a brain tumor. I began praying for her and believed she must be a remarkable person as she had made such an impact on her co-workers lives. Somehow I never put two and two together until I read about her death. The woman I had been praying for was the beautiful girl from so many summers ago. Ellen, Joe and Trav, my sympathies go out to you. I am so sorry for your incredible loss. I will continue to pray for you and for Tracy. May God comfort you in your time of need.

I have known Tracy through the world of poms for about 4 years. I enjoyed exchanging emails with her while seeking her advice and expertise in coaching. I looked forward to seeing her at competitions and camps. She made such an impact on my life and the lives of so many young women throughout her years of coaching. Her wisdom helped me learned so much about the sport we love so much. I'd like to offer my condolences to her family, fellow coaches at BC and team members. You are my thoughts and prayers.

I would like to express my condolences to Tracy's family, friends and members of the Byron Center Pom Pon community. Tracy was a remarkable young woman with a passion for pom that was contagious. She was creative, positive and always strived to be the best. She cared so much for those that she coached. In addition to coaching her team members to be strong competitors, she also wanted them to grow as young women and share her passion for the sport of pom. Tracy was a tremendous advocate of Mid American Pompon on the west side of the State and we will never for get her efforts to involve "west side" teams in our events. For years, Tracy was an active member of the Mid American Pompon Advisory board and would travel across the state to attend meetings and contribute ideas that have shaped what Mid American Pompon is today. We will miss her dearly,
 With our most sincere condolences, Karen Blazaitis Mid American Pompon

I have known Tracy for the past 4 years and 3 of those years Tracy has been my coach for the Varsity Dance Team. I always will remember her smile and her laugh. She taught me to never give up on my goals that I haved in my life. Since I was little I've always wanted to be a dance coach and Tracy has taught me the type of coach I want to be with my girls someday. She has taught me to live life to the fullist and never give up on life, even when it's hard. Tracy was the type of coach who would have surgury and two days later she would be sitting in the gym at our dance practice like nothing ever happen. She was always telling us that she was going to be their no matter what it takes. I love you Tracy and you were like another mom to me, my dance mom and I Can't wait to see you in Heaven someday.

Mr. & Mrs. Weber, Travis, the rest of the family, and friends,
 I wanted to extend my deepest sympathy to you during this difficult time of loss. 
 Tracy was my partner in crime at Pine Rest when we worked together for 4 years when I was first hired in. She was a true friend and confidant. Tracy proudly showed her family off and loved you all dearly. Her nephews were the apple of her eye! 
 She will be dearly missed and always loved! She was a great inspiration to all that knew her. Please know that we will continue to lift you up in prayer!

I first met Tracy when she came to the BC Sports Boosters Meeting to request pom and dance uniforms for the team, that was about 7 years ago. My daughter has been part of the BC Dance Team for the past 4 years and Tracy has made such an impact on her life that she wants to continue dance in college and I hope that she will do Tracy proud. 
 Tracy, you will be missed, but I know your presence will be felt everytime the BC Dance Team steps onto that gym floor and performs in your memory.
 I'd like to offer my condolences to her family, fellow coaches at BC and team members. You are my thoughts and prayers.

Tracy was an unstoppable force of positive energy. I met her 6 years ago as a new coach of the Kenowa HIlls Dance Team. She took me and many others under her wing. She led us to form a strong community, helping and supporting each other. Through this I was lucky enough to consider her my friend. I miss my friend and the sport will miss a natural and positive leader. Our thought and prayers are with her friends and family

To family and friends:
 Tracy was such an inspiration to all who knew her. Tracy had such a passion for dance that will never be forgotten. I was a freshman at Rogers high when Tracy was a senior. After she graduated she went on to be our coaching assistant and taught us all how to have passion in what we do. She then moved on to become the coach with Lisa Kozac at BC High and she would still come back to check on us. This comes as a great shock as well as a trememdous loss. My prayers and condolences to all who knew this beautiful yound lady.

I will always remember Tracy from the Rogers pompom squad. She, a senior, befriended me a lowly freshmen who didn't know ANY one at Roger. She invited me to eat lunch with her and her friends, so I wouldn't have to eat alone. I'll always remember her and her kindness and her smile.

 Posted by Alicia Putnam Adrian - Wyoming, MI August 30, 2007

Tracy was probably the most amazing person EVER. If you had any problems, you could always go to her, call her, or e-mail her and she'd be there for you. She always had a shoulder to cry on. Having her be my coach for 3 this year would be 4 years was such a priveledge. I was always hard on myself and she was always there telling me that I was on varsity for a reason...she always put a smile on my face. Last fall was one of the last times I saw her because I went away to treatment for a problem I had. She would always write me and encourage me. We kept in contact and became so close. I could tell her anything. I'm going to miss her and how she was always there for me. Thank you, Tracy, for being a second mom to me. I love you.

Joe, Ellen and Family Please accept our deep sympathy on the loss of Tracy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Joe, Ellen and Travis, My heart goes out to you. Tracy has left me with so many enrichments when I remember the little angel begin rocked to sleep as you visited on Friday nights. Later years, summering at Oxbow, she was the faithful 'organizer'to all the cousins playing games or swimming. Her kindness and strength just grew stronger as she got older. I thank her for being one of those 'great' people we experience in our lives. Love you and am thinking or you at this sad time.

We were very sadden to hear about the passing of Tracy. I came to know Tracy at the Mid American Pom Camps & Competition. I remember her always having a smile on her face no matter what came her way. She was such a pleasure to be around. She will be missed in the Pom Community. Our prayers will be with you and your family in this time of sadness.

To the Family,
 I would just like to take this time to say that I am very sorry for the loss. I was on dance with Tracy in High school for two years and I loved her so much. She was like a mom to me and to every girl on the team. She had so much compassion and life for what she committed herself to and she will be greatly missed. Again I am sorry. I will be praying for all of you.

I couldn't go to see you the other day, I guess that makes me a coward in some way. That was not the memory I wante of you, So I guess I'm selfish too. I will remember how you made spaghetti for the first time, And you threw a noodle against the wall and grime.Out at the bar, dancing till 2 at night, Then to Denny's for a quick bite, Fretting over your dance team's routine, Dressing up for Halloween. Playing pool every Sunday, just you and me, Drinking way too much caffine. Hooking me up with your cousin, Trying to keep our friendship through thick and thin. Slowly we drifted apart, But you were always in my heart. I couldn't go see you the other day, I didn't want to remember you that way.
 Love ya,
 sara
