"...here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart (i carry it in my heart)"

Thinking about you more than usual (is that possible) over the last few days and wondering what you'd say. I think I'm getting some of the messages, but not all of them. Wish I could hear your voice as it'd make this whole time so much easier on me.

Missing you as much as ever.

My boyfriend was Ofc McBride of the MPDC. He died suddenly in 2005, in the line of duty also. My thoughts and support go out to all your loved ones. Say hi to Jim for me. :)

Hello Love.

Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. It’s so sad that we only shared two and now this will be the third without you. It is just not fair.

To keep myself busy, I’m heading up to the curling rink in Maryland. I know – its funny right? Who curls in the Metro DC area? Of course, that’s probably not the biggest question in this region – a better question might be ‘What’s curling?’ I went in early January and have been trying to get back since then but the bonspiels (curling tournaments) are getting in my way. (BTW, I hope to be in a bonspiel next year!) They have a breakfast league so I’ll be up there for breakfast – as I do like breakfast – then onto the game. I have one wish for tomorrow and that’s not to fall when I let go of the rock. It’s not a lofty wish by any means – just once, I’d like to not have to pick myself up off the ice. Maybe you can assist with a celestial magic? I hope so. If I don’t fall – I’ll know who to thank and let everyone know on Monday. :)

Later in the evening, I’m hanging out with ML and we’ll undoubtedly watch Pride and Prejudice and order in – Italian I hope. She’s such a dear friend who has helped me through these last three years and knows how sad I will be tomorrow. It surprises me that friends would want to be around their bereaved friends on these raw days, but she’s a trooper, and I’m thankful to call her friend.

Although my tomorrow will be filled with activity I wish I could spend it with you.

I send you love, hugs, kisses and smiles and George sends his sloppy bulldog kisses to you too.

All my love,
Stacy (YNG)

Hi Roddy,

Merry Christmas in heaven. We all love and miss you immensly. What I wouldn't do for one more big old
Roddy HUG. Your namesake got out tonight and we were all running around in the rain yelling SARGE at 11:30 through Sally's neighborhood. We all made quite a specticle. Long story short, he was hiding in the bushes of the next store neighbor's house and it took Jim, Tommy and Kristin to coax him out. You would love this dog and it goes without saying that he would love you too.

I miss you so much today, and always.

Love,
Patti

Hello Love,

Just wishing you a Merry Christmas. I know you'll be with all of us this evening and again tomorrow. Here's hoping that your strength will carry us through those difficult moments. Thankfully, love never ends and someday we'll see you again. Missing you today, tomorrow and always.

All my love,
Stacy

P.S Thanks for the signs -- especially mug #192 -- that was one of the best. :) I'm always looking so keep 'em coming!

Happy Birthday in heaven Roddy! We all got together for dinner yesterday, and each of us felt your presence. It was very comforting. We shared a day filled with laughter and love and icecream cake. We took Jessie and one of her friends to Dave and Buster's today. I can't believe she's a teenager. The last 13 years went by so quickly. She is not my baby anymore, although I expect as with Mom and Dad she will always be my little baby, just like you will always be my baby brother. We love and miss you so much.

Love,

Patti

P.S. Happy Birthday Uncle Roddy!!! I love you, Jessie.

Burke,
Not a day goes by that I do not think of you. I miss you sooo much but know that you are my guardian angel and enjoying heaven. I stopped by the Dorchester House the other day. All of the staff misses you as well. The neighborhood is not the same without you.

Stacy- If you read this e-mail, please contact me. I was wondering if you still had the pictures of George,Rod and I and need to talk to you about some storage at Dorchester that might be Rods items.
