Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

hey, just wanting to say hi how are you and i miss you so much yesterday was a tough day we had veterans day activities at school an i could not help but look in the direction that you always parked your car to direct traffic it was hard to look in that direction and not cry cause it was like someone was missing and i only knew it was you- i remember just how much you always looked forward to those activities and how you looked as the flag was raised you stood so still, in reverence watching as the flag rose high with a salute and a smile on your face i watched you and yet this time you were not there to watch as the junior rotc assended that flag into the sky and as taps played i cried i could not help but look in your direction and weep silently watching as the flag rose knowing all along that the man that took your life is a veteran how much you loved our country too always wearing that flag tie pin too as a symbol to show your respect for our country. missing you so much everyday wishing you to be here not missing out on so much that is going on here too andrew is having his 18th birthday soon and yet again you will miss another important day in your son's life and your daughter's life they miss you too
As always
love you forever
forever in my mind and in my heart

hey, i know its been a whild but since mama and daddy's house burned i just have not had time to sit and email but you have been on my mind just as much as always- maybe more but i am wanting just wanting to say hi and miss you there is no way i could say miss you enough to get my point across i know you miss me megan and andrew too they miss you so very much andrew is about to turn 18 i remember when you were 18 that don't seem so long ago now. each day brings on new things we (you) could spend so much time talking about. words are just not enough to say how much i miss you. sometimes as andrew is getting older i just wish you could see him and how much he is getting to look like you
love ya always and forever- remember that

hey daddy, i haven't talked to you in awhile but i know that you are around. I wish everyday of my life that i could see you. Yesterday i was with mom and i saw a man that looked exactly like you i wanted to run up and say don't you know who i am? But i didn't because i knew deep inside it was not you only a look alike. I bet he didn't have the same attitude as u or that same special grin that i miss so much. Well anyway i just wanted to say that i miss you and i know that u miss us. Love ya megan

hey, just wnating to talk to you have one more conversation together- cause i miss you and to tell you mama and daddy's house burned last weekend saturday morning early and like us they were not home at the time of the fire they had left on a trip to the mountains remember all the times we did that too. they are alright they still have each other like us as long as we had one another we could do almost anything now life is a stand still. i miss looking into those crystal blue eyes of yours and knowing everything will be alright. you seem so far away and yet so near- yesterday as i sat by you in the cementary it was as if i could feel your arms around me i didn't want to go. to say i miss you just don't seem strong enough of words to say or explain just how i feel at the thought of you and no return it has been a long time now. all my love now, always and forever

hey, just wanted to say hi to you today love and miss you. i have really noticed just how much andrew favors you. you know he was coming in to the house a few days ago and i looked out the window and saw him and my heart skipped a few beats cause he looked so much like you coming home FINALLY! then the excitement left as quickly as it came cause i realized it was not you. megan is doing fine for now she still has her days that you weigh heavy on her mind. in the next few days she and andrew will have some bad days with father's day approaching. i know they are not looking forward to that day any more than i am but you are missed everyday not just holidays or special days we think of you everyday and miss you everyday. i hope you can rest peacefully though and not know of our pain here.
love ya always

I find myself looking at this page often. It just breaks my heart to know that this wonderful father, husband, and officer was taken from us. I often find myself with tears in my eyes as I read your messages to your father and husband. May the Lord ease your pain and know that Your father, and husband hears your every thought and prayer. Just wanted to say hey to my brother in blue. Rest in peace toney.

I never dreamed it would be me, my name for all eternity, recorded here at this hallow place, alas, my name, no more my face.
"In the line of duty," I hear them say: my family now the price to pay. My folded flag stained with their tears; we only had those few short years.
The badge no longer on my chest, I sleep now in eternal rest. My sword I pass to those behind, and pray they keep this thought in mind.
I never dreamed it would be me, and with heavy heart and bended knee, I ask for all here from the past: Dear God, let my name be the last.

I miss you buddy!

hey its me hope you are okay now we are having some hard days still you are always in my thoughts and in my heart forever. where has this four years gone it don't seem some days that it has been four long years but then again it feels like eternity has taken the place of time like forever since you were here and talking to me and assuring that everything would be okay. i'm missing you so very much that no words can say. all i can say is it seems so very unreal still to this day that you are not home with us/me. its hard not to look and listen for you to come in the door each day. love ya so much miss you so very much always
