With a heavy heart, I am writing this message to the Wirtz family. The services today were truly amazing & mirrored what an amazing blessing Tracy was! I met Tracy- 14 months ago as Drew & my son shared 1st grade together. Tracy was such a ray of sunshine for her boys, always reaching out to me to set up playtime for Drew. I always enjoyed her presence & our conversations. I continue to pray for strength for your entire family....and especially for the boys.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Wirtz family.  Tracy was a wonderful friend and classmate.  She will never be forgotten.  Her smile lit up the room where ever she was.  May the Lord carry you through this very difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this time. May God's peace rest upon you as your celebrate the life of Tracy. We wish we could have been there with you.

Ron, Audrey, Cory, Heidi and Tracy's sons, Grant and Drew,
Tracy was such a blessing to the world and will be greatly missed by those whose lives she touched.  Although the physical connection was no longer there when both families moved away that summer, the spiritual connection always remained.  Treasured memories were made especially those of watching the friendship that Tracy and Vicki shared.  Tracy's caring, kindness and gentleness will always fill a special place in the hearts of those she left behind.  She is now in the arms of God and His Angels who are holding her close with their loving comfort.  Our prayers are with you always.

Tracy never met a person that didn't instantly become her friend.  She was a wonderful co-worker who made everyone around her better.  She will be greatly missed and always remembered.

Thinking of you and keeping you and your loved ones in my prayers.  God bless

Heaven is truly lucky for they have gained a beautiful bright angel.  I'm still at a loss knowing that you're gone but pray for your boys, family and friends that they find the strength to get through this and continue to live life to its fullest, as you would want them to do.  I'm so glad we became friends and I'm so glad you got to come visit when I first moved out here.  I'll treasure each moment and pray for you always.

In loving memory of our dear friend, Tracy

Tracy and I went to high school together and was a friend. I will always remember her encouraging words to me to wrestle my senior year and make it to the State Championship. She is sorely missed!
To Ron and Audrey, 
May our Lord Jesus Christ give you strength and comfort for this most heart breaking time. 
I have brought you and the family before the Lord in prayer, trusting Him to show His comfort to you.
If I may share the words of Jesus Christ with you:
"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light" Matthew 11:28-30

May the Lord be with you.

Our Thoughts and Prayers are with you and your family at this difficult time. Our deeapest sympathy. From Sears #1142

Dear Tracy's Family:

It was my honor and privilege to get to work with and know Tracy.  She was so respected, loved and held in the highest regard by her co-workers, customers and patients.  She was such a sincere and genuine and wonderful person that we all feel her loss but know she is in a peaceful place. My thoughts, love and prayers are with you all during this difficult time.  

Sincerely,

Bjorn Barner

Tracy,  I feel so blessed to have met and known you since I started supporting the Enterra team last October.  I miss you and your smile, your kind heart, your drive and determination.  My deepest sympathies to your family and friends.

Extending deep and heartfelt sympathy to the Wirtz Family.  Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you are  close in thought and prayer.

I am saddened to hear of Tracy's passing.  She was a bright spirit and a great example for all of us book people way back.  In '94, I rented a room from her, and she was kind enough to iron my shirts for me. Impeccable creases and collars!  I pray that God gives blessings of comfort and faith to the family.

Tracy was my first best friend in grade school.  How I missed her when we both moved away the same summer.  One of my favorite pictures, taken at her house, was the day we dressed up as punk rockers with Wendy and Tammy.  Life was fun with her; I know many miss her.  I'm so sorry for your loss.

Dear Heidi and Family -
I am truly saddened by your loss.  My husband Dave worked with Tracy at Medtronic and always talked very highly of her.  I certainly was not prepared for how much I would completely adore her once I finally met her in San Diego.  Tracy was successful, sweet, fun and loved her boys.  She was the type of girl who was easy to make fast friends with-just so very genuine.  Heidi, being with both you and Tracy was certainly a part of what made that trip special for us.  If we lived in Minneapolis, I know I would have wanted Tracy in my close circle of friends.  May God's Grace strengthen you all.  Many prayers for your family; and especially for Tracy's two boys.

I was so saddend by the news of Tracy, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.   
Our sincere sympathy,
Sheila Ackerman and family

I knew Tracy from high school, and later went to UND with her- I lived a few doors down from her in the dorm, walked to class with her every Monday night for our evening psychology class and even caught a ride home a few times with her.  Even though I haven't seen her in years, I think of her and smile, because she was the most genuine, lovely person, inside and out.  My heart just aches for her family and friends.  Wishing you much love and peace in your hearts for the very difficult days ahead.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss.  May the great memories you have of Tracy carry you through this difficult time.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences and deepest sympathy.  Tracy was a wonderful colleague and will be truly missed.

We are so very sorry for your loss, our hearts broke when we heard the news.  May you find peace in the days ahead. God is there to help you. Again we are so sorry! Greg and Dianna Ackerman

Lily and I are sorry to hear of your loss. Really hard to find words that are comforting in these difficult times.

I will always remember Tracy as being kind, honest, and a true friend.  We were friends in grade school and jr. high and she ws like no other.  Smart, beautiful, caring, talented, funny.  My heart goes out to Ron, Audrey, Corey, Heidi, her sons and her dear friends and family.  Rest in peace Tracy.

To the family of Tracy, our heartfelt sympathies for your loss. Our prayers are with you all during this difficult time.

I am so, so sorry for your loss.  I remember Tracy as a kind, bright, outgoing and fun-loving person.  She was a wonderful colleague and friend and someone I will greatly miss at Medtronic.  Your family is in my prayers.

Tracy, you will be missed.  You were so kind and patient with me as I learned the ropes regarding the gastric pacer.  I remember a day when we were discussing caring for gastroparesis patients and you told me you enjoyed being a part of making people feel better.  I will carry this with me as I care for our gastroparesis patients.

Words cannot express the heartache that we feel for the Wirtz family.  I will sincerely miss the conversations, texts, emails and calls we shared over the years of working together.  Her ambition, patience, determination and thoughtfulness to help everyone around her is how I will best remember such an incredible woman!  
A true friend to all of us at Medtronic.

Thoughts and prayers go out to Tracy's family and friends.  Tracy had a smile that brought joy to all saw it.  She was one of the kindest, sweetest person I knew and she will be missed.  I will miss her and feel honored to have been a classmate and a friend.

I am so sorry for the family's loss.

The day that I discovered that Tracy would become part of the Gastro sales team, it was like getting that coveted #1 draft pick.  You see, I had watched her superior sales performance over the years but more importantly, I observed that her character, integrity, and charisma were larger than her professional accomplishments.  In the short time we worked together, she never disappointed and my admiration for this special person grew.  We miss you dearly, our candle in the wind.

Tracy,

You have left a void that will never be filled --for both me as well as your Medtronic team.  My deepest sympathies and heartfelt prayers are with your family during this very sad time.

My deepest sympathy to Tracy's family.  I was privileged to have had the opportunity to grow up with Tracy and call her a friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I have so many wonderful memories of growing up with Tracy.  
My heart aches for all the family that loved her SO MUCH!!  Praying daily for the ones left behind
