Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I still think of you and miss you. Especially when I am about to say something I may regret, I always hear your voice telling me to "shut up". LOL. Always in that brotherly loving way. I know you are still watching over us all. You will always be our protector and I love you and miss you everyday!

Tonight at approximately 7:40 pm, TEN YEARS AGO, you were on your way to Heaven's Gate. Justin and I have been through so much since you left us. We have grown together, taken care of each other, and held each other. I do not know what I would do without him. Sometimes he reminds me so much of you. The look on this face or that smile with the dimple. His mannerisms are just like you. He is a good young man, sweet, caring, good hearted, loving, and loves to laugh! My only problem with him has been his lead foot but we know exactly where he got that from. But, since Baylor is own his way, he has manned up and taken care of things he should have. He has grown up so much in the last several months. I am so very proud of him and you would be too! He has not become the social butterfly that you were but that is probably a good thing! We miss you each and every day and I have prayed that I could just see you for a short period of time to talk to you. You always talked to me about most everything and we always had a plan together. I NEED that so much right now. Ten years have flown by so quickly in one way, but in another, it seems like it has been an eternity. We will NEVER forget you, your dedication to the FPSO, or your service to us and to Franklin Parish. You are always in our hearts FOREVER! I love you, baby. Forever and Always... I will see you one day....

Happy Father's Day to the best Father in the world. You showed Justin every single day what a real Father is suppose to be. You were a role model to him and he idolized you and wanted to do everything you did. He just recently has taken up bass fishing again. After you died he didn't want to hunt or fish for a while. He wouldn't fish but he did hunt with Rocky until he passed away. He has YOUR bass boat now and has been polishing it up. Boy, did that bring back memories. You would be so proud...you are going to be a Granddaddy any day now. I can just imagine the love and affection that you would have shown this baby. Justin and Miranda filled my heart when they told me they were naming him "Royce" after Justin and YOU!!! I love you and miss you every single day and I guess I will for the rest of my life. RIP, Baby...Justin has taken over when you left off. How I wish I could see you for just a few hours to hug, touch and see you again and tell you how much I loved you!!

It has been a few months since I talked to you. Today for some reason you are on my mind. I'm lonely and I think of you almost everyday. Most days I am still mad at you for leaving me the way you did, but some days I sure could use that hug you used to give me and TELL me that everything would be okay because you had this. You were my rock. I got to thinking about the day you told me when I turned 50, LOOK OUT!!! You were going to get me good for what I did for you on your 40th birthday! Now, here it is almost 10 years since you've been gone and I'm wondering what you had been planning in that devious mind of yours. I'm sure it would have been spectacular!!! It sure wasn't anything special. It was just another day around here. Nobody really cared! Oh well, it was just another birthday, right? Anyway, I love you and I miss you everyday. Kisses and Hugs in Heaven!!!

Happy Birthday! Today you would be celebrating your 57th birthday. WOW....how time flies. You were taken away from us almost ten years ago and there is not a day that goes by that I don't think of something that reminds me of you. Justin was only 9 years old when you were killed and he is now a man of 19. He has been by me through the good and the bad, the sickness and health, and everything else that you were not able to be here for. You would be gleaming with pride. He is an awesome son. He would make you so proud like he does me. As always, miss you like crazy. I will see you again one day.

I have been thinking about you a lot lately. I know you probably laugh when I talk to you out loud; thinking you hear me. I sure hope you do. There are a lot of things I wish we could have talked about and a lot of times I wish we had more of. I just wanted to say I miss you and I love you very much.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Roy. You would have been 54 years old today. Time has flown by and it seems impossible for you to have been gone for over 6 years already. You were only 47 when you were taken from us. You know we would have had a get together and a cook out this weekend for you with all of your friends. Tom and Roger miss you deeply as do the rest of us.....

i think of roy often and the kindness he showed me after putt's death not many people know this, it was so strange ,roy was always there for me he would come in the store and visit for long periods of time just talking, telling me things about himself, about his health just small talk,telling me how he would come to my house at night when he was on duty pull in my drive and make sure things were ok he would smile and tell me he was scared the dogs barking was going to wake me up.he was a kind and caring person and a jewel in heaven and on this earth.keep shining roy in the night sky because i know in the darkness you're still watching over us.thanks and always remembered.
