I just sat here for the last two hours...crying my eyes out-reading all of the reflections from the last 13 months. Thank you to everyone for sending your love and support. Honestly-these past 395 days have been a HUGE blur. The pain is still so deep...almost like its become worse. I think its become worse now, becuase I am not numb to the situation anymore!!! I know that Bradley is gone from us,forever.
Bradley--Thank you for getting me through these last 13 months. Without you sending me all your love and support AND signs that you are still with us.... I couldnt have been able to do it.
I miss you so very much... it just hurts on a level I never thought ever exsisted!!!
Emma is now getting it--that you are gone! She puts her head down all the time,and starts crying and says she misses daddy!!! UGH!!! I am trying my hardest to keep it together in front of them...but, i struggle with that at times.
I love you baby--with all my heart--always have.... always will!!! xoxox Susan Moody

Bradley... it's been one year. How?? How have you been gone from us for a whole year already??? I miss you so very much--it's hard to imagine the rest of my life without you here... by my side--helping raise our babies.
Maddy and Emma are getting so very big... and growing up way to fast. I would give anything to have you back so you can watch your beautiful daughters grow up.
It makes me so sad that you were taken so young... with so much more to give this world. Everyone keeps telling me your in a "better" place.... REALLLLLLLY???? Is there a better place than here.... in this house with us--to see your babies.... I DONT THINK SO!!!!!
I will NEVER be okay with this. My heart will be heavy for the rest of my life... missing you, and always thinking "what couldve been"!!!!
I promised you one year ago--that everyday I would tell your babies how much you love them!!! There hasnt been a day that I missed that... There hasnt been a day, that I dont talk about you to them. They will know you, thru my eyes babe. They willl know what an amazing person you were. What a great daddy you were!!!! From the moment you heald them..... till the moment that your last breath was taken--- you were the best daddy I could have EVER dreamed about for my babies!!!
Thank you for picking me to be your wife, the mother of your children... and the lucky women to spend the rest of your life with. No one can or willl EVER take that away from me. I will hold each one of our memories dear and near to my heart for the rest of my life. I love you Bradley Alan....You are "forever in my heart".
Please watch over us... and protect us from harm. I know that we have THE best guardian angel watching over us!!!!
I love you.... for ALWAYS!!!! Susan Moody

Brad,
I can't believe it has almost been one year. I thought about you when I saw this quote, "Heroes get remembered, but Legends never die". You will always be remembered not only as a hero for all you did in your much too shorten life, however; you will always be a legend to not only RPD but too your family as well.
Everyday I pray for Susan and the girls and hope somehow they are finding happiness in day to day life. Please continue to watch over them for they will always need your strength.
Also, watch over your brother and sisters in blue and tan!
You area always missed and loved. Anonymous

Happy fathers day babe!
This morning, I brought the girls to the pole for the first time. We left ballons, flowers and a card for you. I really didnt know what I was going to say to the girls...as to what this place meant--so, when we got there... I just sat them down...and LOST IT!!!! Smooth, I know. I made myself pull it together...and just told them that this is a place that we could come when we wanted to feel close to Daddy.
Then, we went to your tree and left some flowers there too.
God Brad--this is just so not fair. My heart breaks for our daughters--Emma only had one fathers day...and maddy only had two with you. This just doesnt seem right. I wish that I could rewind time and keep you home that horrible day. I need to you be here with us. The three of us miss you so very much babe, it hurts!!!!
I make sure that every day the girls know how much you love them...and what a hero you are.
Please continue to watch over us...and protect us.
I love you Bradley!! Miss you more than you know~
Happy fathers day... Susan

Brad,
I had to fin some where to write to you. Im thinking of you, Susan, and the girls everyday.
Well next year im off to basic training for the Army. I picked Military Police as my MOS mostly because of the respect and determination i have to help other but also because of everything you taught me on the street. Im looking forward to then getting a K9 after a little while. I hope I can be as good an officer as you and help as many as you did.
Thanks for everything. Aaron Cristofani

Officer Moody,
I never met you or knew you but in reading about you and the clear impact you made on your community is nothing short of inspirational.
Your loss is deeply felt even in surrounding communities. You gave your life attempting to help a fellow officer and there is nothing more noble than that.
God bless you and your wonderful family and may your memory turn tears into smiles for years to come.
Kids...your Daddy is a Hero, you should be extremely proud of him and what he stands for. Please know you are in our prayers and people in the community care about you!
Kindest,

First and foremost I want to express my deepest condolences to the family and co-workers of Officer Moody. I am a Detective in a small town in NJ and I have the honor of riding this year Police Unity Tour in honor of Officer Moody. The Police Unity tour is a bicycle ride from NJ to DC during Police week and each participant rides for an Officer. I feel privileged to ride for Officer Moody this year. I have a call into the PD and also want to let his family and friends know we will honor him during Police week in Washington, DC. I hope to meet some of you there at the memorial in May. Det.

Your smile and easy going attitude is what I miss most these days. I still cant believe you are gone...its not fair that we move forward without you. I miss c7 and silly car to car chats with you. You were a driving presence at RPD and I will never let people forget about you and your dedication to this profession. Keep an eye on us and send more signs that you are still with us on the beat...

Four months today...
Bradley Alan—I cant believe that it has been four months since I last talked to you, held you, kissed you, felt your warm hand on me….looked into your eyes!! I miss you so much, I cant even begin to tell you. I have thought about you every second of every day for the last four months! Our little daughters have grown up so much in the last four months—I just hurt so much that you cant watch them grow into little girls!!!!!
I had a dream this morning and you were there….but it wasn’t like you were here to stay. You told me that you couldn’t stay long…you just wanted to come see me. I couldn’t believe my eyes. I told you that I wanted to take tons of pictures so that people would believe me that you came back. You just laughed at me and said that nothing has changed with me taking pictures (he would always give me a hard time cause I took a million pictures all the time!!!). I remember asking you tons of questions… I asked you what happened in the car that day. You told me that you were just going too fast and you knew that you needed to slow down but it was too late. I asked you what you were thinking and you said that you were thinking that you knew that you were going to die. I just started crying—and you just held me for the longest time. I told you that I keep saying that I wish that I could have one more minute with you so that I could kiss you one more time. You started crying and you kissed me. I told you that you were being honored in a way that you deserve---I said that the funeral was nice, and that you got all the bells and whistles!!! I told you that there was a webpage made that people could come and write things to you, and condolences to the family. We got on the computer and I started to show you and you said that you just cant read it because it’s too sad…but you looked at the pictures with tears in your eyes. It was weird, because there were people around…but they weren’t reacting to the fact that you were here—it was like they couldn’t see you. You then started typing something to me (I think it was about the finances cause I saw tons of numbers…so that it would help get things together for me), and you said that it was something you should have done before you died. You told me that I could read it when I was alone. I never got to open it up, because the girls woke up….
Baby, the dream was sooo real...I woke up and it was 750 AM on the 4th. Almost exactly four months of the time you crashed. I am crying my eyes out typing this… I thank you so very much for coming to me and visiting me…. I just wish that it would happen in real life. I wish soooooooooooo badly that I could hold you and kiss you again…. And look into your beautiful eyes again. But, I know that this is all I have to hold on to. I know that this is the only way that I am going to “be” with you—and it just hurts on a level that I cant even describe!!! I miss you so very much!!! I love you with all my heart!!! Susan Moody

Still can't believe your gone brother. Looking at your picture made me remember when we were working the parolee sweeps together and that parolee at large dumped a loaded gun and dope on us. We had like 8 cops jump on that dude, he had no chance. You were one of the best at RPD brother and your legacy will continue to live on. Rest Easy, we got everything from here. Police Officer

Bradley... As the days pass, my pain grows more and more! I miss you so very much! I look at our little daughters and hurt for them so much, knowing that they will never have a chance to know you. Three and a half months have passed since you have left us, and it just still doesnt feel real. I just can't believe that your gone. I wish that I was able to say goodbye to you! There isnt a second in the day that I dont think about you. I love you with all my heart!!!! Susan Moody
