Caton,Miss you my friend .

January 11, 2006

Brother Caton,

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Respectfully,
You’re Brothers in Blue

Caton, It is one year ago today that you got called home. July 9th was the last day I spoke to you on the phone.I just got home after being at a memorial service for you I sat at Greenville waiting for the red&blue lights to come through as i sat waiting the raido played mustang sally i knew then you knew what was going on. It is as hard today as it was last year standing at your grave i have been out many times but today it was hard .all your brother officers had on thier uniforms and 90% of us others had on "IN MEMORY OF CHIEF CATON "shirts i was the first one there and the last one to go. My life has a void so deep i miss talking to you i know you are out of our sight but your memories stay with me day after day. the girls will be home Saturday from thier trip Kelsey still ask alot of questions and i answer her the best i can she bought herself some police books and one of them is in spanish not bad for 12. I washed Elklicks car today you would just love it .This has not been an easy year for anyone but please know you are missed by so many everyday no one can ever take you place .It is hard to let go but i know you are at peace and my life is blessed with having you as a friend and pray that you keep our guys safe .you are a hero and a dear friend . forever missed your IHPI

Dad, it's hard to believe it has been a whole year since you were killed. There's not a day that goes by I don't think about you and think about what happened. It still doesn't seem real to me. It may become a little easier to deal with as time goes by, but it still doesn't seem like it's enough. Everyone always says everything happens for a reason, but as of yet I don't see any reason why this had to happen. Who knows, the reason could be so subtle and simple I may never see it. I'll just wait and hope that someday it will all make sense. I guess the one bright spot that can make this a little easier to deal with is that you're in a better place right now, and you went there doing what you loved best.

One thing I want you to know and remember is that I miss you and I'll never forget you.

Love,
Brian

Policeman's 23rd Psalm



The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want,
His comforting hand reduces fear to naught;
He makes me walk through streets of crime,
But He gives me courage and peace of mind.

He leads me by still waters in the path I trod,
And He says in Romans I'm a "minister of God,"
He leads me in righteousness as He restores my soul,
For His name's sake He keeps me whole.

When I walk through death's valley, right up to the door,
I will fear no evil, for He comforts me more;
For Thou art with me every step of the way,
As thy rod and thy staff protect me each day.

He prepares a table, especially for me,
As I work daily among life's enemies;
He gives me authority to uphold the law,
And He anoints my position in the midst of it all.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me,
Each day of my life through eternity;
As I long to hear Him say, "Well done...,"
When I lay down my life, my badge, and my gun

Caton,Thinking of you as always.I know you are in a better place things are not the same with out you. we all miss you so much .

May 12, 2005

Chief, I just wanted to let you know that it was an honor to call you in-service for your final patrol. It had more meaning than some will ever know. I still fight the emotional tears when I recall that day. I will do my best to keep our brothers safe as you did for me that night. I never got the chance to let you know how grateful I was for your help that rainy night. I'm sure you have heard my thoughts and prayers. I hope that someday we may share a patrol together again. Your memory will always be with me.

Caton,Tomorrow it will 9 months, it still seems like yesterday.You would be so proud of Kelsey she did a memorial window for the Maple festivel in your honor.She got third place.she said that was fine she really didnt care if she won or not she just wanted all the people to see what you did for our town. Rox let her use your duty belt,your hat everything she had from the crash. people could not belive a 12 year old did this window but you know she always said caton is the best and still is.Ron gave Kelsey a ball hat that says POLICE in yellow on it she loves it yesterday she helped move traffic for the festival and she had on one of her 4 in memory of CHIEF CATON shirts we are still getting orders for them.everyone misses you so much nothing is the same with out you. I gave myself to much credit the other day when Rox called and said she was going to bring all your stuff for the window i told myself to be strong well you knoow how long that lasted.the trail should soon start and i will be there what ever he gets will never be enough but i really need to be there nothing will ever bring you back but i hope he burnes i H---.as i sit and type this 120 has a call i know you are there every time i hear 120 .130 or 50 i know you are there.you always will be .i must go so rest well and please watch over all of us. i will write soon.

Hey Caton,
I know it's been a long time since you went to a better place, but I just couldn't seem to do this through the tears. The tears are still here, but I want to do this. I miss you a lot my dear friend. I think, Why him? After all those years of dedicated service, why him? I went to update class today and you weren't there my friend and it really hit me, Caton isn't gonna be here anymore. Not there to make us laugh, not there to tell us how it was in "the old days", not there to look at a fellow officer that is just starting out and telling him, You're still wet behind the ears, kid. Just not there. It was hard for me to fathom you not being there, my friend. I miss you so much. I know that you are up there looking down on us saying, Come on guys, carry on, you know I went the way I wanted. I will carry on, but not without a tear, and not without thinking of you every day.

Hey Caton, sorry it took so long!
