It is wonderful how many people have come together in this most tragic loss. But it is sickening how some Joe looks at this as an opportunity to “get traffic” to a blog. I understand the perpetual of Kelly Tracy Memorial Fund And I would like to contribute to this Fund

Windows 7 Tips,
I read this post when it was first created. It was a tragedy then and a tragedy now.

You are a jerk and should have read the entire commentary before proving it!

Dear "Windows 7 Tips" -

I really shouldn't waste my time responding to your comment.

Were you in the room with the band when they were told Kelly had been killed?

I was. And let me tell you, it sucked. It sucked beyond any human comprehension. I hope that you never have to experience something like that. No, actually, I could care less what you do or don't experience. I hope the kids never have to experience something like that again, and God help any family that has to endure what the Tracy's must go through on a daily basis.

Not that it's any of your business, but yes I did contribute a significant amount of both time and money to the Kelly Tracy fund.

For the record, yes, I removed both the URL to your blog and the link to your latest blog post. I'm not about to "share the link love" with someone that has no respect for me, or more importantly the Tracy's and the memory of Kelly.

Now how about doing me a favor and never read this blog or comment on it again.

@alan - thank you.

@ windows 7 tips:

Your judgemental posting is old ground. Did you even read the article?

Also, your post is number 20. Scroll up and read post 13 by Joe Grekowicz as he apologized for a previous post similar to yours.

If you are going to be self-righteous, be sure your platform is solid or you look a fool.

I have been very impressed with all the band members. They have been strong and supportive for each other.I hope you have made a contribution to our friends besides using this tragedy to draw more leads to your website.

My heart goes out to the family and friends of Kelly. I personally know how difficult it is to lose someone especially around the holidays and I truly give all my love and prayers to all those clearly touched by Kelly's life. God Bless them and as always we should all be thankful to have a member of our network like Jay that has such a big heart to remind us all what is important during these holidays and what can happen when we least expect it to someone who has most to live for.

Thank you,
Mary.
And as for link love to Jay (though he says he does not want it), I think he deserves it for not just this post but the many unselfish and truly useful and loving ones he has given us over these past few years. He is a member of the REnet that truly has earned our respect.

Jay, my heart goes out to you, your daughter and your family, and certainly that of Kelly's, as well as to the whole community. I lived thru the deaths of several close friends in high school, including one who was killed in front of me (by a train). I still have pain from those memories but try to realize that there is a lesson in that life is way too short (that's a hard lesson when you are an "invincible" teenager), and that you can't take any day or moment for granted. Life and love is precious. Sending some healing love out west your way. God bless you all.

Jay,
I apologize. I should have read lower on your Blog to find your personal connection to our friend. I did not realize your daughter was in Band with Kelly. Cindy taught my daughters how to sing, praise, and worship and Kelly was always by her side. We are all devistated and trying to help how we can.
There are some in our business who might try to take advantage of this type of tragedy and I'm glad you are not like that. My wife and I, being the Tracys Realtors, were a little miffed when we saw reference to your website in the Arizona Republic. I acting out inappropriately towards you and again I apologize.
We thank you for your efforts and we pray for comforting and healing for the Tracy's and all of us who miss Kelly.

Joe Grekowicz-You ought to be ashamed! Instead of helping someone in need, you are blasting someone trying to help a family who is hurting and in need? Obviously you are not aware of the high funeral expenses a family must incure when they lose someone, and to lose a child! You do not have to contribute to the cause, but to blast someone because you are afraid it is taking a dollar out of your pocket!!
Jay, Thank you for helping this family in need by word of the internet and funds. We need more people like you who care.

It is wonderful how many people have come together in this most tragic loss. But it is sickening how some Joe looks at this as an opportunity to "get traffic" to a blog. If anyone who knows Jay and Francy, knows how much they are grieving for Kelly and her family and how this has personally touched their family.

Hey Joe- have you ever lost a child- I hope not- and what a loser you are to think a very successful broker/blogger would use tragedy to "get traffic".
God Bless Kelly and her family!!

Jay, I applaud your efforts to bring awareness, funds etc to this tragic accident. In our meeting today, it was clear to see that you care deeply about this whole horrible event. For someone to question your integrity, without knowing you or the situation, is beyond belief. I know you, I have spent time with you and I stand here, more than willing to attest to your character. I am truly proud to call you my friend.

First, our hearts go out to the Tracy family and everyone who has been affected by this horrific tragedy. Our prayers are with you.

Second, unlike some people, we know that Jay is doing this out of his desire to help his daughter, the Tracy's and their friends and family cope with this terrible loss. Jay Thompson is a class act and we commend him for what he has done here. I'm sure the Tracy's feel the same way.

Lastly, although it sounds trite, if we can do anything Jay, please let us know. God bless, my friend.

@Joe

Come on. Did you really write that?

In situations such as this, one must assume positive intent on the part of everyone. If not, you twist the situation into being about you instead of the tragedy. And you come off looking like the jerk.

Did you know Jay has turned away reporters, from himself and from the family? Do you see anything in the story he has told other than genuine concern and sensitivity? If so, please site the place because I cannot find it!

It's not about you or your self-righteousness. It's not about Jay or traffic to his site. It's about a 16-year-old who was needless killed and all the lives that were shattered because of it. It's about helping heal the gapping wound. This is truly a time when you should not say anything if you can't say something nice.

Joe Grekowicz-

Seeing as how Jay is too polite to say it, you're an asshole. Jay was in the room when it happened, helped console the kids, talked to the papers in an effort to shield the family and THEN decided to help raise money.

People like you make me sick. Stay off the Internet and think twice before you post an idiot comment like that. I'd love for you to tell me that in person and I'd be happy to respond in a completely inappropriate way.

Jay, you're a great dude. He wasn't even worth a response.

Kim Wood — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 23:48:48 -0000

Jay, I'm so sorry to hear about the tragedy with Kelly. I'm so glad that you are helping in what ways you can, by comforting the kids, by helping to spread the word.

Joe, You obviously have not met Jay, or you would know that there was not even a *thought* about himself at all. I can not believe you would even say such a thing - taking something so precious as Kelly's memory and insulting anyone doing whatever they can to help. Examine your own heart.

Joe Grekowicz -

I'm not even sure where to start with your comment.

I was in the band room when the kids were told that Kelly had died.

Have you ever been in a room with 150 kids when they were informed that their friend was killed? I can assure you that it will make an impact on you.

This has nothing to do with drawing traffic. I get plenty of traffic. This has to do with the tragic death of a 16 year old. Leads or traffic is the least of my concern right now. I'm trying to help my daughter and her friends through their loss, and make it as easy as possible for people to help the Tracy's.

I know a lot of <del datetime="2008-11-20T05:14:39+00:00">Keller Williams</del> Century 21 agents. Until now, they've all shown the utmost in class.

And for the record, yes, I have contributed hard dollars and time to this cause, and will continue to do so.
