Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Clint, keep protecting your family. I know their tears will flow for a long long time and every day is a real challenge for them. All they can do is take one day at a time. They will keep your memory alive for as long as they walk this earth and so will those in the Blue Family. You will never be forgotten. I wish there were some words to say to your loved ones to help them with their loss and pain, but there are none. Stay close to them, protect them, guide them and show them the right path in life to take. You will never be forgotten.

SUGARBEAR,
SATURDAY WAS A VERY HARD DAY!!! IT MADE 2 YEARS SINCE WE WERE SEPERATED BY THE WORST THING "DEATH". IT IS STILL SO HARD FOR ME TO BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE GONE. I WOULD DO ANYTHING IN THE WORLD IF I COULD GO BACK TO THAT MORNING AND JUST STOP YOU FROM GOING, JUST KEEP YOU HOME LOVING ON ME. YET, AS I HAVE LEARNED OVER THE PAST FEW WEEKS FOR SURE, IS THAT WHEN IT IS YOUR TIME TO GO, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH DOCTORS OR PRAYERS TO SAVE YOU. AS I KNOW YOU KNOW I LOST SWEET MIDNIGHT ON WEDNESDAY MORNING. IT WAS JUST HEART BREAKING TO SEE HER LIKE SHE WAS. IT WAS JUST SUCH A SHOCK. ALOT LIKE YOU. IT JUST WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN. I TOOK HER TO THE VET AND SHE HAD TO HAVE SURGERY 11 DAYS BEFORE SHE DIED. SHE WAS DOING GREAT THOUGH, I WAS GOING TO TAKE TO THE VET SATURDAY TO HAVE HER STITCHES CHECKED, WELL THAT DID NOT HAPPEN. I SOMETIMES WONDER WHY THINGS HAVE TO HAPPEN THE WAY THEY DO. LIKE WHY DID SHE HAVE TO GO THROUGH THAT KIND OF SURGERY TO SAVE HER LIFE FOR GOD TO STILL TAKE HER. WHEN YOU MADE IT THROUGH SURGERY I JUST PRAYED SO HARD FOR A MIRICLE TO BRING YOU ON BACK. THAT IS WHAT THE DOCTOR SAID YOU WOULD NEED SO THAT IS WHAT I PRAYED FOR. I JUST COULD NOT THINK OF MY LIFE WITHOUT YOU IN IT!!! BUT NOW 2 YEARS LATER I DO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE STILL WITH ME, JUST NOW IT IS ALL THE TIME. I JUST WISH I COULD SEE YOU AND WHEN I TALK TO YOU I WISH I COULD HERE YOU TALK BACK. I DO FEEL YOU WITH ME AND I STILL SEE YOUR LITTLE SIGNS. LIKE THE PENNIES YOU LEFT FOR ME AND YOUR MOM TO FIND ON SATURDAY WITH THE SAME YEAR ON THEM "THE YEAR WE GOT MARRIED" I THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY SPECIAL. BUT THAT IS JUST YOU ALWAYS DOING SPECIAL THINGS FOR THE PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT. I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH I GUESS THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE NO MATTER HOW MANY YEARS GO BY. YOU ARE MY SWEET BABY AND YOU ALWAYS WILL BE. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN. I LOVE YOU BABY.
LOVE ALWAYS,
YOUR WIFE

Two years ago today, the lives of your loved ones were forever changed. I think of them often, especially your Mom. Her support has helped many law enforcement survivors, myself included. I hope the thoughts and prayers of others will make today a little easier for your Mom and the rest of your family.

It's been two years today, and it seems like only yesterday in some ways and others it seem like life times. We are going back to Montgomery today, can't tell you what we are going to do, because we don't really know yet. We are bringing you some flowers and a new flag, and we wanted to go by the Memorial in Prattville, I know you will be there with us.

I just wanted to wish you a Happy Second Birthday in Heaven, and to let you know that I miss you, you will always be a part of me and have a special place in my heart. I love you the most and see you in a little.

It will be two years that you were called away from duty. I know the broken hearts still exist for your family and will for the rest of their lives. I know you loved what you were doing and that is some solace for those that love you. You will never be forgotten and are a true hero. Keep watch over your family and protect them.

Dear Family of Clint,

I am thinking of you and holding you close in my heart as The Day comes up again. Even though our hearts are broken every day there are still some days that bring even a greater pain and agony if that is possible, and unfortunately we know that it is. May the beautiful memories of Clint.....his love, his laugh, and his strong arms bring some comfort to you.

Always remembering,

WHEN I GET WHERE I'M GOING

When I get where I'm going
On the far side of the sky
The first thing that I'm gonna do
Is spread my wings and fly

I'm gonna land beside a lion
Anad run my fingers through his mane
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain

Yeah when I get where I'm going
They'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

I'm gonna walk with my Granddaddy
And he'll match m step for step
And I'll tell him how I missed him
Every minute since he left then I'll hug his neck

Yeah when I get where I'm going
They'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

So much pain and so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
So much work to do

But when I get where I'm going
And I see, my maker's face
I'll stand forever in the light
Of his amazing grace
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
HALLELEJAH
I will love and have no fear
When I get where I'm going
Yeah when I get where I'm going.

This song is alot like Clint, and I think of him everytime it's played.
It's coming up on your second year in heaven. I miss you and can't wait to see you again one day.
I love you the most.

Clint,

Happy 28th Birthday. When we had your last birthday party I told you to alway watch your back and we will celebrate your birthday the same time next year. I did'nt think you would have to watch your back where you were when you got killed. I'm so sorry you were caught off guard. It was'nt your fault. We still want to know what your last words were. Amanda feels what you felt. These holidays in this second year are'nt any easier. They are really harder.......

Love and miss you always,

Your other Mother

P.S. Amanda still has the cheesecake she got you for your last birthday frozen in her freezer with your fork.

Dear Clint,

Am thinking of you and your birthday tomorrow. I know you are celebrating in heaven everyday, it's your family and friends still down here that will have a hard time being happy. It's a very bittersweet day to celebrate your birth without you here. I hope they can share a lot of good stories mixed in with the tears.

Love,

HEY SUGARBEAR,
I HOPE YOU HAD A GOOD CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN AGAIN THIS YEAR. I KNOW IT HAD TO BE BETTER THAN MINE, BECAUSE YOU ARE IN A BETTER PLACE AND I AM HERE WITHOUT YOU. THIS MONTH HAS BEEN VERY HARD, I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET MYSELF TOGETHER AND GET INTO THE WHOLE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT. IT IS JUST NOT THE SAME ANYMORE. IT WAS OUR FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR AND NOW IT IS THE TIME OF YEAR THAT I DREAD THE MOST. I MISS YOU BABY!!! I MISS HOW CUTE YOU ALWAYS WERE ON CHRISTMAS MORNING ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU GOT SOMETHING YOU REALLY WANTED OR YOU WERE ABLE TO SURPRISE ME WITH SOMETHING THAT I REALLY WANTED (LIKE MY FOOD SAVER!!!) BABY YOU WERE WELL MISSED AGAIN THIS CHRISTMAS MORNING.

I GOT SOME REALLY BAD NEWS LAST NIGHT, REMEMBER JESSICA BRACKNELL THAT WORKED WITH ME AT COMALA. THE ONE YOU SAID HAD SUCH A PRETTY FACE. SHE HAD THE CUTE LITTLE BOY, WELL NOW SHE HAS A CUTE LITTLE GIRL TOO. ANYWAY, HER HUSBAND MICHAEL WAS KILLED IN A MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT YESTERDAY MORNING JUST DOWN FROM THEIR HOUSE. MY HEART JUST HURTS FOR HER BECAUSE I KIND OF KNOW WHAT SHE IS GOING THRU. THE TIME OF YEAR AND HAVING THE TWO KIDS AND HER NOT WORKING JUST MAKES EVERYTHING SO MUCH HARDER. I JUST HOPE HER FAMILY AND FRIENDS WILL BE AS SUPPORTIVE AS MINE WERE AND HELP AS MUCH AS THEY CAN WITH THE KIDS. WE ARE SETTING HER UP A FUND HERE LIKE THEY DID WHEN YOU GOT KILLED TO TRY TO HELP HER THE BEST WE CAN. PLEASE WELCOME MICHAEL AND TAKE CARE OF HIM BECAUSE YOU KNOW IT IS GOING TO BE HARD ON HIM LEAVING HIS WIFE AND KIDS, EVEN IF HE IS IN A BETTER PLACE. IT WILL BE JUST AS HARD TO CONVINCE JESSICA OF THAT AS IT WAS TO CONVINCE ME. (AND STILL IS!!!)

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN, I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU BABY. MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
LOVE ALWAYS,
YOUR WIFE

Hey Sweetheart,

Merry Christmas, this is your second Christmas in Heaven. I can only imagine what it's like, I know you'll have things to tell me.
It sure has been hard this year, Dad's been trying really hard to get me in the mood for Christmas. I guess it will never be the same anymore.

We had our Christmas last weekend with the Browning's it was here in Destin. Everyone was here except Barbara, Karen and Cal, I guess you know it rained all day Saturday. Someone said it was you crying cause you couldn't be their. I did find 3 pennies one for each day, and we all thought about you. And how much fun we had in Prattville 2 years ago. We all miss you....

Please tell Jesus Happy Birthday, I'll be thinking about you both tomorrow and everyday.

I love you the most, sure wish I could hear you say that...

Mama

December 24, 2005

Dearest Clint,

We have your picture by Matt's picture in the living room and it makes me smile you all are so much alike. I'm sure you have a lot of mom stories to tell each other. Make Matt tell you about the time I had to fire him during one of the holidays, or the Christmas he and his sister went out on delivery and were gone forever..........because they saw Santa on the side of the road and went all the way home to get a camera to make a picture with him (to heck with all the deliveries:). I can't imagine what you all are getting into in heaven. I hope we see you soon. We all are just hanging on until then.

I know I love you,
Matt's Mom

Clint,

I am having a very difficult time making the holidays happen. I took your stocking to your grave because Santa had already filled it. It was filled with your favorite wax juicies. Until later with all my love-Your other mother.

P.S. I took Amanda a gift for your 9th wedding anniversary. Of course it was an Angel.
