My dear Paul,

As the years go on you are missed even more deeply than I could ever express in words. Every day, and at every gathering of family and friends, small or large, and at all the milestones we mark over time, you are always in our thoughts. You truly left this world a better place by being the kind of person that you were in your all too short of a time here with us. You are forever loved, and will always live on through our beautiful children, and in the minds and hearts of everyone who was so blessed to know and love you. True love never ends and we love you forever, for always, and no matter what. 9-4

Every time I take a road trip I note the names listed on memorial markers throughout my journey. When I get home, I look up the names that I've come across so I can learn a little more about the man or woman listed on the marker and how they came to their end of tour.

While making my way from Georgia to Massachusetts, just a week before the horrific bombings at the Boston Marathon, I came across a marker for Trooper Barry. I hope that one of his family members will see this reflection and smile knowing that a perfect stranger has now walked away with a little bit of knowledge about their loved one and the difference that he made in people's lives.

How you loved your birthday my dear Paul.......and every birthday and party that we had! Our shared August birthday parties were the best. We were so very blessed together, and to have our beautiful children; that was the time of our lives, and we were lucky to know and appreciate that. You are so deeply missed in our home and day to day life, and forever loved Paul. Please watch over our children and keep them safe......they miss their amazing Dad so terribly, but strive to live their lives well, and to make you proud......... I tell them I know that you are so proud of them all. Send me your strength Paul, if you can, so I can continue carrying on without you here by my side, for our wonderful family. I love you bud, always have, always will. Thinking of you today on your birthday even more than usual. Forever, for always and no matter what. 9-4 M.E.

It is that time of year again, when we think about and honor the fathers in our lives. Although you have been gone for 6 years, your influence as a great father continues. You are still in the hearts and minds of 7 lovely children, 1 beautiful woman who is your soul mate, and a huge group of family and friends who still miss and love you. Rest in Peace, dear man. Maryellen remains on duty.

My dear husband..... my best friend.......watch over our beautiful children and keep them close......such a tough timeline for them, with your anniversary and Father's Day this weekend. You were the son, brother, friend, father, and husband that everyone wishes they had, and the kind of person everyone wants to be like. The passage of time is so different for us, and 6 years can feel like six seconds. Your physical presence is so deeply missed in our home everyday, try though we do to go forward, living our lives in your honor. You live on always in our hearts, and in all our happy memories, and we are deeply grateful that God blessed us with you ~ you are forever missed and endlessly loved. Forever, for always and no matter what. 9-4
