Happy Birthday Greg,
I didn't forget your Bithday either. I left you a birthday message on mama's computer and if hers didn't go through neither will mine. I hope you had a happy one. It wasn't too happy down here without you and daddy, never is. Tell daddy I said, "HELLO & I LOVE HIM". I Miss you and Love you. Keep watching over us!!

Happy Birthday Baby!!!

I left this message on your birthday, but there was a problem with submitting reflections, so I guess mine didn't go through. I did not forget your birthday. I remembered how much fun you were, playing pranks with your pepper spray and trying to pull everyone's pants down.

Thirty seven years ago on the 22nd of May was one of the happiest days of my life and five and a half years ago on November 2nd was the very saddest day of my life.

I took flowers and a baloon to the cemetary and wished you a happy birthday. I thought about making your favorite meal, creamed tacos, but it just didn't seem right to make them without you here. You always wanted me to make them instead of a cake.

I now have custody of the girls. They seem happy. Danielle is into sports and cheering and Andi is into pagents. They both passed and made straight "A" on their report cards. I am so proud of them and I know you and Pepaw are too.

Will has grown up to be a handsom young man. He reminds me so much of you, the way he is always joking and picking on someone. I'm so proud of him too.

I love and miss you and Dad more than you can imagine. I hope the next five years are not as sad as the past five. I would just like to remember the happy times we had forget all of the sad times. Maybe that will happen someday.

I LOVE and MISS you and Dad so very much...........

Love,
Mom

Hi Baby,

Yesterday was another very sad day for me. You, along with seven other officers were honored in a beautiful memorial srvice in Hernando. Sheriff Bill Rasco (I know you are happy we now have a good sheriff) spoke and praised your service to the department and talked about what an honor it was for him to have worked with you.

When Tapps was played, the 21 gun salute, the releasing of the doves and the helicopter flew over. it was just like the it was all happening again. Even though I am so proud to call you my son. you will never know the sorrow I feel everytime I think of you and Dad. I am looking forward to the day I can think of you and not feel that pain, if that time ever comes.

Please remember, I miss you and love you and Dad dearly.

Love

Hey Honey,
I can't stay asleep tonight, you keep waking me up with dreams...I don't mind at all, they are very peaceful. Keep them up please. Trey got married and it rained. It was to be an outside wedding that was moved to a beautiful tent with more people that were even invited! You would have loved the reception and the band.
I know you were with me in spirit, because I didn't cry until after they left. The minister said that even though it was raining, it probablly meant to some of us that our special Angels were sending us tears of joy ( ok, i did tear up and kept taking very deep breaths )
Thank you for " holding my hand " and for sending me such sweet dreams lately.

I LOVE YOU and ALWAYS WILL,
Shannon p.s..Give PePaw a big hug from me.! PLEASE!

Hi Baby,

You would have been so proud of Andi last night. She was a contestant in the MS Olive Branch Pageant. She was just beautiful. I almost cried when she said that she wanted to go to college and major in a career in forensics in memory of you. I am so proud of her and Danielle, they are doing so well in school after all they have been through.

Danielle is playing soccer and she loves it. I haven't missed a game yet. She is very competative.

I am so glad that I finally have custody of them. Maybe now they will have some stability in their life and know how much they are loved.

Will has a girlfriend at Mississippi State. We went to his ballgame last week and just watching him on the field reminded me so much of you. He has your build and some of the ways he moves looks just like you. He is doing so well in college and I am so very proud of him.

I love you so very much and miss you and Dad. Life has not been the same without you both.

I love you....

Hey Baby,
Happy Valentines Day! It is 8:40pm and I am doing the same thing I have for the past five years, trying to find something on t.v.( that won't make me cry ) to watch or better yet...just go to sleep and try to have sweet dreams.
I Love You so much and need you! Trey is getting married next month(can you believe it?)but, I would love for you to be standing and celebrating with me. It is just a reminder that everything changes. Some for the bad and some for the good. I hope you will be there with me in spirit and no pranks PLEASE..

p.s... I put a valentine under your pillow and made some "Greg tea" to make me feel better. I'll leave some for you. XOXOXOXOXOXOXO..........Bunches and bunches!!

Hey Uncle Greg,
I am just sitting here in my dorm room (yea i know seems like just yesterday you were playing pranks on me and Andi and Danielle and we were so young). But i was sitting here and I heard a song that reminds me of you and Pepaw and it brought tears to my eyes and it made me stop and realize how much we all miss yall. I cant believe it has been this long since you both left us but i know yall are up there wathcing over us and keeping us safe. just continue to watch over us and especially me, andi, and danielle as we grow into mature adults. i cant beleive i will be 20 this year. doesnt even seem like i should be that old. but i miss both of yall so much and everyday something makes me think about how much fun we had together and i love both of yall so much. keep nano safe as she works and protects others because she loves what she does. and once again we love and miss both of yall so much.

Hi Baby,

I just want to say Merry Christmas to you and Dad. It no longer seems like a happy time at Christmas. I miss you and Dad so very much. We cooked breakfast this morning and everyone opened their presents just like we always did. I could just imagine you opening your gifts. I thought about Dad always leaving you all $50 in your stockings. I guess it is not as exciting to look in the stockings like it used to be.

The girls are doing good. Andi has a new car. That's real scary isn't it? She has had to grow up way too fast. Danielle is still full of herself. She is on the OB Dance team and doing very well in school. Will is growing up so fast. This is his first year of college and he is doing good too.

I don't think I will ever be happy again. Nothing is the same without you and Dad. I love you both so very very much!!

Love,
Mom

I cannot believe it's been 5 long years since that horrible night in September when you had your accident & that horrible day in November when we had to say goodbye. I know that one day we will all be reunited in heaven but until then you and daddy take care of us & watch over us. I pray that ya'll will be Will's angela while he is away at school. You both would be so proud of him and Andi & Danielle. I love you both so much and didn't know how hard it would be without you here with us. Until we meet again, take care of each other & protect us.

Hi Baby,

Five years ago today the most horrible and heart breaking thing that could ever or will ever happened. I know you are still with me, I can feel you and see you in so many things and ways. You will never be gone or forgotten as long as I am alive. I know Daddy is with you now and I miss you both so very much.

The girls are doing really good. They are making really good grades in school. Andi can't wait to be eighteen and Danielle is running me ragged with all of the things she is involved in. Will was home from MSU the other day and a certain way he turned looked so much like you that I almost cried in front of him. He looks more like you every day.

I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW VERY VERY MUCH I LOVE YOU AND DAD. YOU BOTH WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME, IN MY HEART.

I thought it would get easier to bear but I have so many times I feel just like I did the night the SO called me about your wreck. Its been five years and I am still waiting for it to get better.

Just remember You, Denise, Tracey, Will, Andi, Danielle and your Dad are my life. I love you all more than I ever thought possible.

Please, keep watch over our family and know that I love you so very very much.........

Hey Honey,
I am missing you sooo very much! Several times a day is not at all out of the norm for your " big o grin " or laugh or crazy pranks to wisk by me in a dream. Even more so, your soft caring loving side. I miss EVERYTHING...even our arguments.
It's Fall (our favorite time of the year) and it is so darn hard!! I found us the perfect halloween costumes and was actually holding them up in the store, like I was guessing what size I should get. ( I know...Im crazy, that is not a secret ) I just left my basket and went to my car. I lost total control, and just wanted to call you so you could tell me everything was going to be O.K..............Or make a joke, or even call me crazy!
I Love you my marshmallow, prisoner, mailman, and hatchet man...Gosh, We had fun!

Well,it is a after midnite and Im awake again...Just about this time of nite you were usually making plans on what to eat at the FlyingJ or who was going to have the honor of eating with you.(I can hear that laugh like it was yesterday, just so full of life!) Today, not long from this late hour, five long years ago, Denise called and told me you had been in an accident and it was bad. I remember telling her no, that I had just talked to you. Little did I know that my life, AND SOOO MANY OTHERS, would NEVER EVER be the same after that phone call. We never gave up hope and I have never prayed so hard...
So, since you know ALL too well how late I always am, please save me a place in heaven, I'll get there eventually. I Love You Honey

Hi Baby,

Just wanted to tell you how very proud of you I am. Another scholarship is being presented in your memory today. We will all be there to remember you.

I love you so very much. I keep waiting for the sorrow to lessen but it doesn't. It seems like just yesterday you were here playing jokes on everyone. I see you in everything and wonder what you would be doing now.

Tell Dad I love him and miss him so much.

Love,

HEY GREG & DADDY:
I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE YOU ARE BOTH GONE. I GO TO THE CEMETERY & SEE YOUR NAMES ON THE HEADSTONES BUT IT STILL DOESN'T SEEM REAL. I KNOW THAT ONE DAY WE WILL BE TOGETHER AGAIN. WILL HAS GONE OFF TO COLLEGE & IT IS VERY LONELY HERE WITHOUT HIM. I DIDN'T REALIZE HOW HARD IT WOULD BE FOR HIM TO LEAVE HOME. I KNOW THAT HE WILL BE BACK BUT IT IS STILL HARD TO BELIEVE HE IS OLD ENOUGH TO BE ON HIS OWN. YOU BOTH WOULD BE PROUD OF HIM--HE IS REALLY SMART & HAS A GOOD HEAD ON HIS SHOULDERS. ANDI IS DRIVING & THAT IS SCARY ISN'T IT--HAHA! UNTIL WE ARE TOGETHER AGAIN, KEEP WATCHING OVER US & KEEP US SAFE ESPECIALLY WILL. I KNOW HE IS HAVING A BALL & I AM GLAD OF THAT TOO BUT I WANT HIM TO BE SAFE. TELL DAD I SAID HELLO & I LOVE HIM. I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH TOO.

Hey Honey,
I just wanted to tell you how much I love you and miss you every single day. I was clearing out a storage tote to pack some of Garyn's college stuff and I found a book of Andi's. It's a personalized first birthday book from Nano and Pepaw. Nothing else was in it except some empty picture frames and a pair of flip- flops. It caught me off guard, I just knew I was going to find something else...but nothing. Any meaning besides of the fact that I need to get Andi's book back to Nano?
These kids are growing up sooo fast. Too fast if you ask me. Will is going off to college. Garyn is going off to college. Trey graduated from college, has a new career and is engaged to an amazing young lady. They are getting married in March( but I refuse to wear an OLD mom of the groom dress.) HA...I know you are laughing but I wish you would please somehow be by myside. Above all...Your Baby Girls need you to watch over them, and while you are at it...please keep an eye on Willbo, Garyn, and Trey as they all go on their new journeys in life. It's a mean world here.

I LOVE YOU GREGGY-POO
