Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

LOVE YOU STILL...ALWAYS WILL!!!

TODAY, 16 YEARS AGO WE MET. IT WAS DINNER AT YOUR DAD'S, AND I WAS SO NERVOUS! SINCE I KNEW SID HAD SAID SOME THINGS TO YOU ABOUT ME. OH HOW I WAS SCARED TO EVEN GET OUT OF THE CAR. BUT WHEN I FINALLY DID WE PASSED EACH OTHER AND I THOUGHT MY HEART WOULD JUST JUMP OUT OF MY CHEST IT WAS BEATING SO HARD. WHEN WE FINALLY GOT UP ENOUGH COURAGE TO TALK TO ONE ANOTHER IT WAS OVER A HORSE, GO FIGURE! ANYTHING TO BREAK THE ICE! THEN WE WENT UP TO THE HOUSE AND ATE DINNER...REMEMBER THE CAKE WE BROUGHT FOR YOUR DAD? BOY DID THAT EVER GET A LAUGH OUT OF EVERYONE THERE. THEN WE WENT BACK DOWN TO THE BARN AND THAT IS WHEN YOU POPPED ME WITH THAT PIECE OF PVC AND I THEN POPPED YOU BACK, WE WRESTLED OVER IT FOR A MINUTE AND THEN YOU KISSED ME! I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO FAINT RIGHT THERE, MY LEGS WENT WEAK AND I KNEW THEN I WAS A GONER! OUR SISTERS WOULD NOT STOP LAUGHING AT US. YOU TOLD ME LATER THAT YOU KNEW THAT NIGHT YOU WERE GOING TO MARRY ME, AND 4 YEARS LATER YOU DID. THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT THE 21st...WE MET ON FEB.21,1993, GOT ENGAGED ON NOV.21,1995 AND GOT MARRIED ON DEC.21,1996. BUT THAT FIRST NIGHT WAS HALF MY LIFE AGO AND IT IS STILL THE BEST NIGHT OF MY LIFE! I MISS HOW WE USE TO TALK ABOUT THAT NIGHT ALL THE TIME. THIS DAY NEVER PASSES WITHOUT ME THINKING OF YOU AND THAT MAGICAL KISS. I JUST GOT FINISHED BRUSHING DOWN AND FEEDING ALL THE HORSES AND JUST WISHED SO MUCH THAT YOU COULD BE HERE WITH ME. I LOVE YOU SUGARBEAR I ALWAYS HAVE AND I ALWAYS WILL!
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN...
LOVE ALWAYS,
YOUR WIFE

Forgive me for missing the anniversary of your E.O.W., but I felt as though I could not continue to read about so many tragedies. I now realize the visit each day to leave a word of encouragement and hope to the loved ones of others, helps me to remember that I am not alone with my pain and heartbreak. So may I say to your friends and loved ones that my thoughts and prayers are with them now and always. Continue to keep watch over them and those still out on patrol and may they know you will never be forgotten.

To Clint's Mom, his wife, and other loved ones:

I was thinking of you and your beloved son and husband today. The 2008 Christmas season marked your fifth Christmas without him and I am sure your mind was flooded with memories of happier times. It has been 5 years and one month since your lives were forever changed. You are in my heart's embrace today.

Thinking of you and your loved ones today. I missed stopping in on January 14th, but as your loved ones know from walking in my shoes, there are days that it is just too hard for us to write at this site. Continue watching over all of your loved ones, let them feel your presence around them so they know you are near. I know they forever carry your love within their hearts and you are with them wherever they go. You will never be forgotten.

SUGARBEAR,
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I MISS YOU EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE. THIS DAY 5 YEARS AGO WAS THE WORST DAY I COULD HAVE EVER IMAGINED. I CAN'T SAY IT GETS ANY EASIER DAY BY DAY. SO MANY THINGS MAKE ME THINK OF YOU. I MISS YOUR SMILE, YOUR LAUGH, YOUR HUGE BEAR HUGS AND WONDERFUL KISSES. I JUST LOOK AT IT AS EVERY DAY THAT GOES BY IS JUST ONE MORE DAY CLOSER TO ME BEING WITH YOU AGAIN. I THOUGHT ABOUT YOU ALL DAY TODAY, WONDERING IF I WAS GOING TO GO TO THE CEMETERY, WHEN I WAS ASKED IF I WAS GOING I SAID NO. THEN I GOT OFF WORK AND WHERE DO YOU THINK I ENDED UP? YEP, RIGHT THERE WITH YOU, I TOLD MYSELF I DIDN'T NEED TO GO THERE BECAUSE YOU ARE WITH ME EVERY WHERE I GO, BUT THAT DIDN'T MATTER, THERE I WAS. WHEN I LEFT I WENT TO DR. SKINNER'S OFFICE AND HE KNEW WHAT TODAY WAS AND ALL IT TOOK WAS HIM HUGGING ME AND I LOST IT, THEN AS I WAS LAYING THERE FACE DOWN GETTING ADJUSTED, TRYING TO HOLD MYSELF TOGETHER THE SONG HOW CAN I LIVE WITHOUT YOU CAME ON AND I TOLD HIM BOY I REALLY DIDN'T NEED TO HEAR THIS RIGHT NOW. BUT I AM LIVING WITHOUT YOU, LIKE IT OR NOT, AND IT IS HARD ON ME AND EVERYONE ELSE THAT LOVES YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE BEST 11 YEARS OF MY LIFE. I CAN ONLY THANK GOD FOR THE LOVE WE HAD BECAUSE IT WAS TRULY A GIFT FROM HIM JUST LIKE YOU WERE. IT WAS A SHORT TIME BUT IT WAS WORTH EVERY SECOND. I AGREE WITH THOSE WHO SAY IT IS BETTER TO HAVE LOVED AND LOST THAN TO HAVE NEVER HAD LOVE AT ALL. IF I NEVER HAVE LOVE AGAIN AT LEAST I HAD THE BEST LOVE ONCE!!! I LOVE YOU BABY!!! KEEP WATCHING OVER ALL OF US.
TILL WE MEET AGAIN...
LOVE ALWAYS,
YOUR WIFE

Clinton
We have never met, but if what just happened was a sign you are watching out I thank you. I was reading Clintons refections which I do of officers on anniversary of there EOW, when a song came on the radio which I usually just have on for the noise. The song was from Kid Rock, All Summer Long. What caught me was the chorus "Singing Sweet Home Alabama All Summer Long.
My prayers go out to his wife and family, and what they say about officers helping after they are gone, I believe. Your memory will not be forgotten.

Dearest Clint and Family,
It never gets any easier to live here without you precious boys. I know you smile on us and watch over us, but I will be so glad when we get those big hugs again. No one can hug a momma like her son :). The blue lights still burn, your picture is still in the living room by Matt's, you are still missed, always.

Much love.

Clint,
Lt.Yarbrough & I were talking about you the other night at work. As a matter of fact I've had several conversations about you here lately with old & new officers. I still miss you & still tell stories about you. I get choked up sometimes, but I laugh all the time remembering you. The other night I thought of you shaking my hand, you always drew back like you were gonna hit me. I didn't know whether to duck or run! Then you would stick your pinkie finger straight out, grab my hand and about shake my arm off. You had baby hands, arms like tree trunks, but little hands.
Its funny how we remember little details.....
Keep watching over us. Love Ya brother.

Thinking of you and all of your loved ones during this holiday season. I know it is especially hard this time of the year. I have decorated the outside of my home with blue lights and one of those lights burns brightly in your honor. Continue to keep watch over all of your loved ones. You have not been forgotten.

Hey Sweetheart,

We had our Christmas get together this past week-end at Aunt Diana's, yeah we had it early this year we just wanted nice weather. And it was beautiful, we talked alot about you and how much you always loved family get togethers, I told Dad going up that you are already there waiting on us to get there. We played lots of horseshoes, me and your Aunt Sandra were hard to beat. You can just imagine how your Uncle's handled us beating them. We did loose a couple of games, but you know how we ragged them if they lost. We all remembered how much you loved to play, so we felt you there.

Dad and I went by the cemetery a couple of weeks ago, added new flowers and your Alabama flag. I sure wish I lived closer so I could take better care of things up there. But it's probably just as well, cause I would probably always be up there. Getting off the subject, you know me and just rambling on and on. We stopped by the cemetery this week-end and there were about 20 Canadanian Geese sitting around your grave, just like they were keeping you company. Dad and I got lot's of pictures, I'll always remember that sight and how beautiful they were. As we walked up to your grave they just slowly got up and started to walk away, and when we started to leave we noticed them walking back, almost like we were not finished visiting. "WOW" what a beautiful sight, I really needed that.

We sure miss you as much today as the first day. Love you the most.

Hey Sweetheart,

First of all I want you to know that I will never ever forget you, I will think about you everyday. I know you are with us, because some of the things that happen are just to much, and so much like you, I get all the sign you are sending... From the songs on the radio to all the pennies to just the thoughts I have about you, I can feel you so close, and I hope you stay close, I guess you can say I need you to stay close.... I like to get signs from you and to feel you close, I just miss you....

I can just hear you saying how much you love being an Officer and how much you love working with the Prattville Police Department. I just remember the last time I seen you in Prattville and the pride you had with your uniform on and the attitude you had when you got a call to help one of your fellow Officers... Those things stick in my mind like glue... Little Tyler stills remembers you leaving your house to answer a call, to back up a fellow Officers, that was a high light of his trip to Prattville.

Clint I can't imagine living without you or being in this crazy world without you, but I know that you are close and helping me through and guiding me and helping me through, and everything you have done so far has been wonderful. I know there is lots more to come, because I'm not done yet!! Just help me along....

I love you and miss you everyday.... And most of all I will never forget you.. And will not let anyone else forget you....

I love you so much son....

Mama
