Leave a Reflection

Reflections for Trooper Paul Francis Barry

Paul was my classmate and a great trooper. We broke-in together in the Holden barracks. Paul leave behind his seven children along with his loving wife, Mary-Ellen. For those of you who didn't know Paul, he was "family man". He worked hard to support his family and loved them with all his heart. Paul didn't have a mean bone in his body and was loved by all who had the blessing of knowing him. It's a sad day for us but Paul and his family will not be forgotten. Rest in peace by classmate and rest assured that the Massachusetts State Police will take care of its' own; your family.

Policeman's Prayer

.....Author Unknown

When I start my tour of duty God
wherever crime may be,
As I walk the darkened streets alone,
let me be close to Thee.

Please give me understanding
with both the young and old.
Let me listen with attention
until their story's told.

Let me never make a judgement
in a rash or callous way,
but let me hold my patience,
let each man have his say.

Lord, if some dark and dreary night,
I must give up my life.
Lord, with your understanding love,
protect my children and wife.

I look on this website every few days to read the reflections that were left for my husband. He was killed January 1 by a driver who fell asleep and it still seems like yesterday. It is hard to believe that it has been almost 6 months and I wish I could tell you that it gets easier. I am so sorry that you and your kids have to go through this. One thing that has helped me is knowing that everyday he is remembered by many all over. Our husbands left this world with honour and respect and forever will be viewed as a hero. With love, Tara.
