Dear Paul,

We want you to know that we love you dearly and you are truly missed by all of us. You would be so proud of your Jeremy. He is growing up to be a wonderful young man. He is always talking about you. He’ll tell us that he knows his; Nino Paul was a good man. Jeremy is doing wonderful in school and he’ll be playing varsity football next year. I think you may have had to look up at Jeremy being that he is 6”6 and a ½ now… I’m so thankful that Mark and you became such wonderful friends. You accepted Mark into your life as if he was part of your family, no questions asked. What a wonderful place this world would be if there were more people like you in it…We wish you were here to see our Little Aiden Paul. We will be sure to tell him all about you when he’s old enough to understand. Our love is with you, Maryellen, The Barry Kids, Mom, Dad, Brother and Sister.

Hi Bub: We were at the bridge dedication on Friday, Edward did a good job speaking...he had a hard time at the end thanking your buddy Jeff for all the work he did to get this to happen....all the dignataries were there and were so sincere it was heart wrenching.....Mark Delaney is a great man and is always so warm and friendly....and your friend Karen was there to greet us as usual..she is awesome...it was difficult for your children and us but at the same same Dad and I were so proud of you.. nothing new.....Someone asked me what I was thinking when they unveiled the sign and all I could think of was this was my 3 pound baby boy .....who would think there would be a bridge named after that little boy named Paul Francis Barry and I wept.....missing you every day of my life...you were part of me and will always be a part of me.....Love you always Mum, Dad, Edward, Mary et al......

Hi Paul ~ The bridge that Jeff Gilbert has wanted to be dedicated to you in Holden for the last two years, today, became reality. You know how Jeff is, how he's been with us from the first minute, and how hard he worked to see this through. So difficult to realize that next month will mark three years without you here with us, but startling as that is, I mark the passage of time, which must go on, through our beautiful children. I looked at their beautiful faces beside me today at the ceremony,and saw you in every one of them, in their goodness and kindness. The children are a credit to us Paul, and most especially to you. I know like always, they're your pride and joy. They trust in me to stay our course, and I hope every day that I'm doing and choosing whatever we would have done here together, had our time been longer. You are and always will be my best friend, and you and these children are the absolute best thing that ever happened to me ~ so much more than I ever expected to be blessed with in my life. The bridge in your name is perfect -a road you patrolled so much of your career. Everyone that mattered to you was at the dedication, all of our family,and so many of your dearest friends and classmates, who still watch over and check in on us. So many kind words about you were spoken ~ all so true about the finest person I will ever know. Like I told the kids at dinner tonight, a million years from now, this is a permanant memorial to your Daddy. Like our love for each other, it's something that never changes, never ends. Watch over all of your family and friends Paul, in all the ways you can, and protect and guide our children, who miss you beyond words. As time goes on and makes it so much harder to carry on, give me your strength to see our family forward. I love you Paul, with all my heart, forever,for always, and no matter what. 9-4

Dear Trooper Barry,

Although I never met you, I do know three of your children.
They are amazing girls with sweet, sweet spirits. I give them horseback riding lessons and I have been so impressed by their personalities and mannerisms. My heart aches for your wife and children. But they are so very brave.

The girls are loving playing with the horses and are really connecting with them, and learning very quickly. You and your wife obviously did a great job raising them. I give Maryellen so much credit for how she has dealt with the tragedy in your family, and how she has helped the children heal. I am honored to be a part of their lives, and I pray that God continues to strengthen, guide, and comfort them.

Life goes on day after day for me, but not a day goes by that you, your family and children and your brotherhood at the Mass. State Police aren't in my mind. That June morning is still hard to forget. I know I did what i could, but wanted so much more. You put your life on the line for people you didn't even know. In some small way I tried to return to you all you did to help others. Please know Paul that I will never forget you. I see your smiling picture on my fridge ever day... To the Mass. State Police,what I did for Paul, I would do for any of you.. It takes a lot of of me to write what i feel without crying, but I do it out of love and respect of the fallen

even almost after 3 years, I still can't forget that morning of june 15' 2006. I felt that as I was at your side, we had a connection without words. There is not a day that goes by I don't think about you and your family. I felt like I lost my own brother that day. I know words aren't enough, but I do miss you and pray for your family. With the grace of god and help from friends I know your family will be safe and protected.

I always pray for you and your family Paul. I know when I do you are probably saying not him again with that grin on your face. I always read the nice words Maryellen has to say and I want you to know that not many kids from Dorchester Graduate from College and yet the boys did and they each have a Degree in Criminal Justice. They want to be members of the MSP or work in Law Enforcement. Even as you passed on you inspired those around you to be better people every day. I know you will be watching over them as you patrol the streets of Gold in Heaven. I wish more people had the opportunity to meet you because we were all so Blessed to have that time together. Rest in Peace Paul

Our third new year Paul, surviving without you ~ impossible but true. I think of you every minute of every day, and stay the course without you here ,simply for our beautiful children, that we were so very blessed to have together. The kids are amazing Paul, all 7 are so unique, yet each one of them reminds me of you. I know you are so proud of them, and it comforts me, that you live on through them. They are truly all the good of you and I. Just like you, they're the absolute best thing that ever happened in my life, and so much more than I ever expected. The 9 of us were so fortunate to have each other, and our wonderful life together ~ for us it was perfect. Watch over us, and all your family and friends, and protect our children Paul. Help them with their indescribable loss of you, their beloved Daddy, in any ways you can. You were and are the father of their dreams, and they need you with them always, however you can be. The kids and I miss you, and our old day to day life, more than I could ever say in words, but I'm sure you know that. Stay with us, and give me your strength, and the courage to go on without you physically by my side. You are and always will be my best friend, my go to guy. I love you Paul - rest easy that I have your watch, and always will. I love you with all my heart, forever, for always, and no matter what. ME

What kindof peace do we seek?Not a Pax
Americana enforced on the world by American
weapons of war.Not the peace of the grave
or the security of the slave.I am talking
about genuine peace,the kind of peace that
makes life on earth worth living...not
merely peace for Americans,but peace for
all men and women;not merely peace in our
time,but peace for all time.

John F. Kennedy

Happy thanksgiving to you brother Barry and to the peaple you love and to the State police.I love to see those E.P.Cruisers with those beautiful blue lights that mean caring and safe.I always rmember you because I know how much you care for making peaple safe.
