Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Hey Bub: Sunday is the Dot Day parade..that was the last time we partied together, I just pulled out the tee shirt you bought me and I'll wear it on Sunday. Oh to be able to have those days back again, even one day, would be awesome. You are missed in everything we do, each n every day. You are so loved,your neice talks of you all the time. She misses her Godfather very much..but then she always favored her "Unclepaul" (one word).You will be in my thoughts on Sunday remembering what a nice day we had..Love you, Mum,,Dad,,Ed,,Mary,,et al

Hey Bub: So many days I get or have a different experience of you, by you or just about you...and I just chalk it up to feeling you with me or trying to make sure I think about you, which in life you always made sure you were on my mind in some way or another...today I passed a parked State Trooper watching the traffic from his cruiser get this: #1376 what a jolt it gave me...had to pull over and regain my composure...it is not the first and wont be the last..You are always present each and every day...Love you Mum, Dad, Edward and Mary etal

Hey Eleanor hope there is another poker touney this year to see you at. I dont know if you heard the story of what happened to me in the summer of 08 so ill tell you. My uncle always told me that Paul did not like when people would speed even his own friends and that Paul always would say "go slow". My uncle would tell me this all the time and one morning I was driving and speeding a little bit but the song go slow take it easy came on the radio and I thought of Pauls words "go slow". So because of that I slowed down one minute later I almost hit a pole if I did not slow down when I heard those words I would have hit the pole. I came home and told my uncle what had happened and he told me that Paul was with me right then watching over me and I belive he was. When I go visit my uncle "UN" at the grave I always go by Paul's too cause I never know which one they are hanging out at that day. The only thing that helps is knowing that they are together watching over all of us. My brother and I will be going up to Camp Fatima this year for EC week to make Paul and UN proud. Keep in touch.

Allegedly,:) the first year of loss is the hardest..... for the kids, me, and our wonderful families Paul, EVERYTHING is a first.We just choose to try and go forward, and we stay the course for you, because I know that's what you want and expect, the same as I would of you. Impossible to believe we'll soon mark four years without you here physically. The kids are amazing, growing soooo fast, by leaps and bounds.They try so hard and are doing so well really, in the face of such a terrible loss, when they were so young. Sometimes when I can look back, I can't believe Elizabeth was only 9 months old when this happened to our beautiful family. But I promise you they'll do you proud sweetheart,as they grow into adulthood..... please watch over them and guide them....give them your strength in any way you're able to. The kids and I miss you so terribly in our day to day family life, and they need you to be a constant in their lives. You are and always will be the love of my life, my best friend, my favorite person. I love you more than words can ever say Paul. You and these beautiful kids are the very best thing that ever happened to me, and so much more than I ever could have expected. We were very blessed, and they're the blessings of our lives. Rest easy, I have your watch, no worries. Until we meet again, forever for always and no matter what. Love you always, M.E.

Hey Bub: We were all together today to celebrate your 10yr old and your 7 year old...they are so beautiful...as are your 4 "rotten" teenagers....God bless Maryellen to handle them at the same age..and the princess is growing and so lovely...you are missed so much each day of my life but it especially hurts when we get together, your brother said something wise and wouldn't repeat it so I know it was fresh to me...and he laughed so hard and just said Paul would be on the floor laughing..so you nI know it was fresh...I think he misses the fresh comments you both would banter about when we were together..you are loved and missed every day by all of us and you always will be..
We love you Bub ...Mum Dad Edward Mary et al

Thinking of you today Paul and pray that you are up there flying with the angels. I just want you to know how hard my husband tried that day to save you, but God had other plans for you, if you could only see what I deal with, my husband is not the same anymore, I wish that day never happened as much as your family wishes it didnt, may you RIP and fly with the angels.

Sorry I haven't wrote in a while, but you are still in my prayers and thoughts. As I drive I see your bridge with your name on it and the Trooper Paul Barry Way with houses in it. I can't seem to get past what happened the morning. Nothing seems to be the same in my life. If I don't write to you for a while, it's not because I forgot you, it's because the pain and hurt of loseing you that day are still very much with me....

Marking the beginning of another year sweetheart, and you are so deeply loved and missed by everyone who had the great fortune to have you in their lives. The hardest thing for all of us to accept, I think, is that as time goes by it doesn't get easier, and that we miss you so much more. We feel your presence at every gathering, but wish more than I could ever explain in words, that you were here with us, physically.

Our wonderful children are growing by leaps and bounds.....I see so much of you in each of them......in their beautiful faces, in their mannerisms, and in their kind hearts and their strength of character. It's like we always told them Paul, and I still do.... that we love you so much that we don't know where we begin or you end, we're connected by our heartstrings, our souls...... It gives me such comfort to know that you truly live on with them Paul.

We have been so greatly blessed these last years to be surrounded by the family and friends who continue to stay close to us......your Dad and Mom, Mary, Ed and their families, my Mom and siblings and families.......our closest group of friends from MSP, Dorchester, Fatima and Franklin are always with us,and help me with everything,and with raising our brood :) You took such amazing care of us in your time here Paul, and I know how hard you're working from Heaven to watch over us with your strength, but I want you to have no worries. Rest easy my guy, I have our watch and will see our family through. You are and always will be my best friend, and you and the kids are the best thing that ever happened to me. Our time together was much too short by far, but you're all the blessings of my life.... so much more than I ever expected to be given. As we go into this new year honey, watch over us all still, pray for us to continue on in your honor, and help us in all the ways that you can.

With unending love,until we meet again. 9-4, Forever, for always and no matter what. M

Paul dad came home with a card for edward for Christmas and it just reminded him and me of our other son as well...you both were our pride and joy all of your life.
Here it is:
A son brings memoreis that melt your heart...Hope that lights up your life...Love that never stops growing...
Some of the most important gifts you give on Christmas morning. No package could never be big enough to contain the happiness you bring. No box could ever be large enough to hold the pride and love that comes from having a son like you. Love you and miss you... we all were always so proud of you Mum Dad Edward Mary et al

Today marks the third year of your passing. I still have the tape of your crash playing in my head everyday. You became a friend that day at 04:45 and then I lost you at 05:01. You don't know how much I hurt when I think about all that happened that morning. I still have your picture on my fridge and look at everyday. Your gentle and kind ways will never be forgotten Trooper. I hope that god is keeping you close and that you are looking down on your family in that loveing way you have... R.I.P. Trooper Barry and god bless your family......
