Love you and miss you very much,
Your little Rascal, Tyler

Just wanted to let you know that we think of you daily and continue to miss you deeply. Tyler is growing up so fast. I took him to the mall today and he made a teddy bear and dressed it in a fire outfit. He was so excited. He is getting to be quite the big boy. We fenced in the backyard so he will have a place to run and play without the worry of him getting on the road. Well I'll let you go. Continue to keep us all safe and please tell my dad we love and miss him too.

Only 5 months? Seems so much longer sometimes. Hope you're showing Doodle's dad around. We miss you.

Chuck,

It has taken awhile to get up the courage to see your face. I talk to you all the time. Thank you for all your guidance. Our Department has changed since you were promoted. You were Captain over a small department here and now you are walking the golden streets. I have no doubt that you are in a better place. I can't wait to see and talk to you again and with all your CB knowledge, I know that if anyone can hollar back down to us it will be you. Take care and I will try to honor you by doing the best job i can. I also found a poem that says alot and I hope you approve of it.


A FINAL AMEN,

Three flags stood tall today,
and then there was one by the grave.


The final flag laid on my friend's coffin
as we said goodbye to a comrade fallen.


The bagpipes played "Amazing Grace,"
not one dry eye on not one face.

The bugler played Taps for our friend,
his moment in glory, coming to an end.

Shots rang out as we said goodbye,
lights flashing on patrol cars seem to be asking, Why?

The six at the coffin fold that final flag,
they present it to the family, in memory of their dad.

Standing at attention, the Honor Guard gives the final salute,
the crowd drifts off, rather askew.

We've said our final goodbye to our good friend in the saddest way possible,
a final Amen.

Unkie Chuck,
Sorry its been awhile since we have written. We have been spending a lot of time outside because of the beautiful weather. Tyler seen your picture and said Unkie mommy type. So I told him I'd let him type you a letter. He is getting so big. He can count to 5 by his self and now we are working on counting to 10. He is learning very quick. I know you would of enjoyed watching him. But I know that my dad and you are watching us daily and keeping us safe. Well Tyler is ready to type now. We'll talk to you later. Love you and miss you.

How are you old man? Been a while since I've written. I miss you being around I heard a voice the other day I stopped dead in my tracks it sounded so my like you I slowly turned around but it wasn't you. Noone was there made my skin crawl.
Things aren't the same nothing seems to be like it should. I fussed about you but I would give anything if you still were running things.
Take care old man!

Things will never be the same here without you and Billy. HAPPY EASTER! May God continue to bring comfort to your family and friends.

I'M SORRY FOR NOT WRITING UNTIL NOW.
YOU WERE DEFINATELY A MAN OF PROFESSION. IT'S JUST TO SAD THAT YOU WERE TAKEN AWAY IN THE WAY THAT YOU WERE.
I THINK YOU WOULD BE PROUD OF THE SHERIFF DEPT. THEY HAVE REALLY STUCK TOGETHER AND BECAME CLOSER, LEARNED TO RESPECT EACH OTHER MORE THAN THEY DID.
I DIDN'T KNOW YOU VERY WELL, BUT I'M GLAD TO SAY THAT AT LEAST I DID KNOW YOU, AND GOT TO WORK WITH YOU. WE COULD ALWAYS COUNT ON YOU.
REST IN PEACE CHUCK.

Unkie Chuck,
Just wanted to let you know that your "little rascal" has officially hit the terrible two's. We have been potty training for a little bit now and it seems to be going pretty well. He is a quick learner as you well know. He is talking up a storm, of course he gets it from me. When we talk about you he goes to the window or door and looks to see if you are coming. It just breaks me heart to watch him look and yell for you. He has not forgotten about you and we will never let him either. You were his "unkie" and you will forever be. I know that you are watching him and enjoying all the new things he does. He is not afraid of anything, just the other day he was jumping from his little slide to his bean bag. He has no fear just like his daddy. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. He keeps me busy but I enjoy it. Well I better be going please tell my dad that we love and miss him. Of course as you know we love and miss you too. Please continue to watch over all of us especially your "little rascal" and Robin. Tyler wants to write you so I'm going to let him. Hope you can read it--u7yy uuuuuuuuuuuuuujuuuuujjygggvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv vvcvccc cccccccc ggghgbbfvbbbbbbbbb gv vfgfgfgfffn bbbbnbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbccccccccxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx hhyyyyyyyyyyyyyuuyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yyyyy hyuygghghhhhhh

Been over three months. Still can't believe you two are gone. I remember riding with you when I was in high school. I could't wait until I was 21. I waited a few more years then I came on in. You always stayed on me. I know now what it was all for. We all had a good time!
Going to the range today, won't be the same without you giving us a hard time. Take care old man!

You started this as a young man
At first it was just a job to you
Somewhere along the way it became more
So much more that it became your life

Dedication and a sense of pride not known to many
I watched you become an Officer
Everyday you would put on the uniform
Transforming you into a unique person

The pride you took in placing the pins and shield
Meticulously checking that every thing was in its correct place
Shining your shoes to where your reflection could be seen
Everything had to be perfect.

Seeing you clean your weapon
Almost like watching a surgeon perform a difficult operation
The care and the preciseness of making sure it were right.
You knew that was the only thing that stood between you and harm.

The tools you used in this job were much more
They were apart of you

Going where no other would dare
Risking your life for people whom you didn’t even know
Taking the oath you took to a new level
To Protect and Serve all.

To you this was a way of life
Seeing things that could affect a mind forever
Picking up the pieces with dignity
Understanding that loved ones need tenderness

Being so much more than just an officer
Being a friend to the community
Being the peace of mind to the frightened
Being a comfort to the elderly
Being a inspiration to the young

For so much of your life
This was your life
With patience and understanding
It became my life too.

Thank you for being an officer

Cap.,

Had bad luck the other night. I'm sure you two were watching over me. Just wanted to say thanks!

Unkie Chuck,
Just wanted to let you know that my dad passed away this morning after midnight (2-11-02). I thought that the new year would bring us better luck but I quess not. He really liked talking to you on the c.b. I know you all talked about Tyler most of the time. Would you please take care of him for us and tell him that we love him and miss him. Thanks for everything you did for us. We still think of you daily and continue to miss you. Keep an eye on all of us. We love you.

Tina/James/Tyler Berryman

Unkie Chuck,
Hi unkie. Here we are 2 months later and it still seems just like yesterday. It is hard to see your face on this site. I'm not for sure if the days are getting easier or if we are dealing with the situation better. We miss you and think of you everyday. Tomorrow is Feb. 1, there will only be 20 days left till Tyler's 2nd birthday. Robin, Jess, and I are going to take him to Mcdonalds for you. I took him and got his hair buzzed off today. He looks more like his daddy then ever. He is getting to big. We had to take him up to the farm and let him play in the semi truck this afternoon. Of course he was trying to talk on the c.b. like you taught him. We are so proud of you. You were so brave and held on for all of us for 15 days. No other person could of held on like that. You were so stong. I am so sorry that I did not get to tell you good bye but I just couldn't. I hope that you understand why. We will never forget you and will keep you in our hearts for always. Of course we have a lot of funny stuff to tell Tyler especially the fly incidence in Mcdonalds drive thru. He will know how much you loved him and how brave you were. You are a true hero. We thank you for always taking care of us and being there when we needed you the most. You did your job better than anyone could ever imagine. I hope we are all making you proud. Continue to watch over us. Robin, Jess, and Chaz are doing very well. They miss you so much. Send them a big hug from heaven and let them know everything is ok. Continue to give them the strength to get through the days when they think they can't go on any more. When Robin has a hard day, walk with her and make her feel a little better. I know you are with her every day and that you always will be. Well, I'll let you go for now, but I will talk to you again. We love and miss you.

Chuck,
I was just telling Billy that the smallest things remind me of you guys. Just trying to move forward, but it is hard sometimes. Keep an eye out for us, and take care....

Hey Chuck, it's me again! I'm sorry, I'm a little late saying this, but happy birthday! I wish that you could've been here to tell me that on mine. I still miss you, and I'm holding up really well, more so than Mom thought I would. Just the other night, I heard the song "The Dance" and teared up, it's still hard to believe that you're gone. I see that Mom wrote you, I'm glad that she did, and don't you worry, I didn't break my promise, I'm still taking care of her as best as I can. Chaz is doing really good, I get to go see him & Mom tomorrow! I'm going to take my permit test next week, look out right? Let's just hope that I pass! If you could only see my hair, you'd probably throw a fit, its a lot blonder now, but I like it! I still think about you, like when watching Major League and you saying things weren't like that in baseball - I still get a chuckle out of that. I'm going to let you go now, and I'll talk to you soon Chuck. Bye

Unkie Chuck,
It's Jan 6th. We got about 4 inches of snow today. James took Tyler and myself out on the sled. This was Tylers first sled ride and his first time to play in the snow. He loved it. He didn't want to come inside either. You would be glad to know that we did not fall off of the sled one time, but I bet you were watching us and laughing. We love and miss you.

I want you to know how very much I miss you. I have wanted to write you since you left but its been very hard for me to do. We have been thru it all and we were together. I know that just your body is gone,only you live on in my heart,soul and mind. In the almost nine years we spent together you gave me more than I could ever ask for. You are My Best Friend, My partner, but most of all you are My special Someone in life. We had a wonderful life together.I could never thank God enough for letting me share it all with you. I know that you are in heaven with your Mom. I also know that you are in the best hands ever. I am just getting by. You are my strength so I will be strong. I don't know what I would have done without so many of our friends. Everyone has been so good and supportive.

Chaz misses you very much. He looks for his Daddy everyday. Please don't worry honey I will take care of him just as you would.I want you to know that this isn't goodbye. You and I will be together again someday. You have always had my heart and you always will. You gave me the most precious gift by sharing your life with me and Jessica. You are proud of her I know. Tyler is growing to be a big boy. I am sure that you are watching. I am most sure that with you keeping watch over all of us that we will be alright. You are missed by so many people and loved by so many as well.
I took you a rose for your birthday just as I promised. I will look out for you and care just as I always have.
I love you honey and I always will.

Robin

Chuck,
It seems like just the other day when we met at the county line there at Clays Mill Ext. to talk about me coming to work there. You always helped me out if I needed it.....
You always ran a great range.....
You guys take care of one another.

Unkie Chuck,
Today is Jan. 4th, your Birthday. We just wanted to say Happy Birthday. I wish you were here so I could here you say "I'm not celebrating this year. It's just another day to me." Thats when we'd surprise you with a cake or a card. I remember back in the summer when you came to see Tyler that you were saying that you'd be 52 and that you were not looking forward to it, but that you couldn't wait for Tyler to be 2. Well thats not to far away now. I wish you could be here to see his second birthday but I know you will be with him forever. We miss you so much. Continue to watch over all of us. Tyler say's "Hi Unk".
