Reflections for Police Officer Edward M. Ferraro

HONORING THE 18th ANNIVERSARY OF MY HUSBAND'S DEATH
06/06/2004 = 06/06/2022
As I mark another anniversary of my husband Eddie’s death, it always brings up so many emotions about our past and what our future may have been. I will never get over the loss, but I have tried to reconciled myself to it, as I find quiet moments to reflect on the love and laughter that you, our son Mike and I shared, the life we made, and memories that I will keep with me forever.. Some days I sat and cried over wondering what life might have been.... But, through the tears, the anger for leaving me, the challenges I had faced and have to go through every single day trying to keep everything in place; I just kept on going one day at the time. I never stop thinking that the day he left a whole where my heart should be. I miss and love him so much, I'm trying so hard to forget but.... how it's even possible to do so?... I know my life will never be the same, without the great man, husband, father, and friend he was. He gave his own life helping others. You're loved and missed every single day by your loving wife Margarita, your children Michael and Edward Jr. your grandchildren Cassandra, Mike Jr, Juliette and more family and friends. 'Till we meet again, we love you and miss you so much every single day, my love!

My life would have been nothing more then a dream in a young woman's mind if it were not for the great man Edward m Ferraro . He thought me many things , how to swim, ride a bike,.camp, fish, climb trees, rake leaves then jump in the piles, value what I have, not to worry about what I didn't have, how to save money, and appreciate the rain. To hold my chin up even when I wanted to bury my face in his jacket. I miss him so dearly and no he wasn't just my friend he was the most wonderful father he is missed in my heart and that pain will never subside . I am a reflection of police officer Edward M Ferraro. And I know I can never fill his shoes, but I pray I can live up to the man he was . His life was cut so short and in only 10 months of finding out hebwas sick he was gone only. To remain in our hearts where he will always be . I love you daddy
