I would also like to remind them that they are, and will always be in the prayers of your brother

You know brother:I remembered you this Christmas.I was at mass on Christmas eve and I saw a young couple with their kids.They seemed to be so happy together,like you and your beautifull family used to be.
Santa brought nice gifts to your kids,but the most importante is to know that their father is a great guy who loved his job and was totally devoted to his family.
They will never forget you...
Merry Christmas brother.
I still going to St Marks every Sunday.Thank you for a very special gift...

Fill not your hearts with pain and sorrow,but
remember me in every tomorrow.Remember the joy,the
laughter,the smiles.I've only gone to rest for a
while.Although my leaving causes pain and grief,my
going has eased my hurt and given me relief.So dry
your eyes and remember me,not as I am but as I
used to be.Because,I will remember you all and look
on with a smile.Understand in your hearts,I've only
gone to rest a while.As long as I have the love of
you,I can live my life in the hearts of all of you.

When you were born, you were crying
And everyone around you was smiling.
You lived your life so that when you died,
You're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

To my brother and friend, I will miss you always.

Our first day of school comes to a close Paul - I know how proud you are of our beautiful children, as I am. They are all the good things of us Paul, all rolled up in 7 very unique and amazing people. They will grow and go forward in the world Paul, and do all good things, all because you were ever here. We missed you more than I can ever say on this second birthday without you here. The passage of time has only made it harder to go on without you - I know you try to send us all your love and strength, and the children and I will continue to go forward, and honor you always. We are so fortunate to have the sustaining love and presence of family and friends - I am forever grateful for all the blessings you and I receive. Know always how deeply you are missed and loved. Rest easy my beloved husband. I promise you I will see us through. Forever, for always, and no matter what - With all my love, Maryellen

I was using Google to find something that would help me convey my feelings of how my in-laws are an inspiration to me as I create a homemade anniversary card for them and Trooper Paul Francis Barry's memorial site was one of the first listed. I was about to skim over it and go to the next site, but as I realized it was a memorial site- I stopped and took the time to read ALL of the loving and emotional messages. So, here I am, someone in upstate New York who hasn't even been to Massachusetts- sitting at her computer at 10:33 pm - saying a prayer for this fine man - who based on all I read, was a wonderful son, brother, husband, and father. My prayers tonight go out to Trooper Barry and to all of you in his family. God Bless you ALL!

A Wonderful Husband, Father and Friend...............
Paul....as your first anniversary has past, we all take special time to reflect on what the true meaning of "human being" is and how you truly exemplified its definition.

As you watch from heaven above, it comforts me to know that you continue to see the beautiful and loving person your wife, Maryellen, truly is and how deeply and unconditionally she loves you...always....and your seven blessings that fill her heart with joy every day. The love that they all fill their hearts with of their cherised memories and time with you overflows their hearts and will always be plentiful....because the short time they had with you was so meaningful. Please know that we are here, today - tomorrow - and always to help your family in any way they need it.

Not a day passes that I don't think of you, Maryellen and your seven wonderful children. Thank you for sharing your beautiful wife and seven wonderful children with us. May you continue to Rest In Peace, Paul.

My thoughts are with your loved ones on this first anniversary of your EOW. I know the pain they have felt over the past year, especially your parents as there is no greater loss than to lose a child. Continue to keep watch over all of your loved ones, protect them from harm and let them feel your presence around them. Also, keep watch over those still out on patrol watching over the Thin Blue Line. You have not been forgotten.

One year has passed since the Commonwealth lost a fine man due to a tragic accident. Though you have physically left this world, I know you are still with you family, watching over them and giving them guidance.

God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.

It is still so impossible to me Paul, that one year ago today our life was so normal, high end happy, and "our version" of regular. You and our children are the absolute greatest thing that ever happened to me, and more than I ever could have hoped for. We had more in our too short time than most people dream of in a lifetime - we were blessed. I know you see the amazing outpouring of love and support around me and the children, all because of your beautiful life. That, and the strength I know you send me every moment, is what will carry us through. I see you in each of our beautiful children, and I am so grateful to have part of you in them. I know now we were so right Paul, that the children were the only thing we would leave behind us that ever really mattered. Rest easy my beloved husband, I have our watch and I will see our family through. For as long as I live, and with our children,I promise that you will always live, be remembered, and forever loved. My heart and love Paul, forever, for always and no matter what. 2-4 Maryellen

I can't believe that it has been almost a year since you left this earth. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and your family, and though I do believe that you are in a better place, it's still so hard to understand why you had to leave so soon.

I know that you are up there keeping watch over all your loved ones as you did here on earth. Your spirit and prescence will never leave those that loved you most, and your memory will never leave those that knew you, if only for a brief moment in time.

Take care, Paul.

Love,
Rosemary
