Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Well Scotty, 3 years..... I just want to curl up in a ball and sleep through the rest of this week.It does not seem like 3 years. I still live in denial most of the time.

I had wings with Jarad and Ryan tonight. He finally got his hair cut. I kept referring to you as brother because he just reminded me so much of you Scott.He had his hat on backwards, just like you use to. He is so tall, and has your thick eyebrows. Just like when you were his age. I have to look up at him now, he is bigger than me. He asked me a bunch of stuff about when we were kids. I don't think I know a brother & a sister who had such a close childhood as we did. Every memory is just such happy times. I will always be here to tell the boys about you growing up. Jarad got a little grossed out about how you and I would wrestle & you would pin me on my back and hold me down, and loog up a hocker & let it hang down to my face just before it hit me & suck it right back up. I hated that so bad!!!!! OOOh! you would make me so mad.

I love you, I miss you, and I will always keep your memory alive.

Nicholas says he loves you, Uncle Scott. He misses you more than the whole entire galaxy!!!

I will carry you in my heart forever & ever!!!

Well, you worked your magic at riding time!! Too bad the weather just couldn't cooperate before that! The turnout wasn't so good, but I know it was because of the weather. Hopefully next year we will have better luck!!! It is coming up on 3 years and it still feels like yesterday sometimes. Actually a lot of the time. We miss you soooooo much. The boys are what keep me going and I see so much of you in them that sometimes it is scary (in a good way)! Thank you for always watching over us and keeping us safe. Also, thank you for easing my worries and getting Jared safely to and from Colorado. We will never, ever forget your sacrifice. Thank god we have the many wonderful memories to hold onto!! We love you! Always thinking of you . . .

Love forever,

Trish

Hey Hon. Well today was a "rite of passage" so to speak for our "baby". He had to fly to COPS Outward bound in Colorado all by himself. Needless to say, I did not do as well as he seemed to. I at least waited until everyone boarded the plane before I lost it. (I don't know what I'm going to do when he leaves for college!!!!!) I'm glad he gets these opportunities, but I absolutely hate the reason for them!! I know you will be watching over him and looking out for him.

Thinking of you as always and missing you like crazy!! Love you!

Love forever,

Trish

Hi #2 son,

Wanted to stop by and say hi. I also need a favor. I need you to watch out for Jared and keep him safe in his adventure that he his going to be taking. It will be quite an experience for him. I know that you are really good at rafting and hope that you will be there with him for his new adventure and keep him safe..

Thank you

Time does not make it any easier.

Love and miss you a lot.

I was cleaning off my table and found the newspaper John brought down. I thought maybe I would read it and maybe feel better about what happened. I got to the part where it said....."Scott was Dead".

I can't read it....I just don't know how Trish does it, again it reminds me just how strong she is.

Thinking of you......Lisa

Well, as you know Chad had his wedding on Saturday. We were listening to the radio as we were getting Mary ready, and your songs came on. Not just one, but three in a row. So, I got your message, and I thank you for letting me know you were there. You were definitely a huge void that was missing & we all felt it. No matter how hard I try, you not being here... it changes everything as we know it. I dont know why you had to go? You were such an important part of all of our lives. How did the lord above think we could make it without you? You are needed more here than you could ever have possibly imagined. Trish gave me this chain that has a picture of you on it. I wear it everyday. I usually never leave the house without it being on. When I put it on, it somehow makes me feel like I am safe. It sounds strange, but It makes me feel like you are with me. Well, I love you, miss you, keep shining down on us.

I carry you in my heart.

I heard about the article in today's paper..still have not read it.

I'm not even sure I will....
I don't even get the Eagle, but I do read it on line.
I think I must have gotten 10 calls about it asking if I wanted the paper.
I actually told everyone to save it for me.....why?
Why would I need all those papers? Especially if I won't even read it????
I guess maybe for a reminder of how short life really is.

After almost 3 years it still doesn't seem real....
Sometimes I just stop and say.." What the "F"????" What the heck is going on and why you?.

Maybe one day we will all find comfort in losing you...
At least I hope Jared and Josh will.
Us adults just move on...and on and on.....

SENDING LOVE BACK.......Lisa

I am wearing my red "Wertz" shirt today and was thinking of Scott. His presence is missed around the neighborhood. Somewhere in heaven he is watching out for Tricia and the boys and smiling.

Sorry that I haven't been here for quite some time, it is not because I have not been thinking of you. How can anyone ever forget you. You are the one person that will never be forgotten.

I just want to wish you a "Happy Father's Day" My only wish is that you would be here in person, but we know that will never happen. Thank you for visiting with us as often as you do.

We love and miss you.

A former co-worker was killed yesterday at the Holocaust Museum in an act of extreme hatred. His name won't be added here or on the wall because he was "only" a security officer. But that's okay because I know you and Mike were there at the gates to meet him. Thank you for that.

Hi Hon. Here's another song that every time I hear I think of you. It is called Sissy's Song by Alan Jackson. I just replaced the shes with hes/woman with man, etc. It is what I believe and I hope brings some comfort to others!! I know it does for me.

Why did he have to go
So young I just don't know why
Things happen half the time
Without reason without rhyme
Lovely, sweet young man
Son, husband and father
Makes no sense to me
I just have to believe

He flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And he walks with Jesus and his loved ones waiting
And I know he's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me

Loved ones he left behind
Just trying to survive
And understand the why
Feeling so lost inside
Anger shot straight at God
Then asking for His love
Empty with disbelief
Just hoping that maybe

He flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And he walks with Jesus and his loved ones waiting
And I know he's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me

It's hard to say goodbye
His picture in my mind
Will always be of times I'll cherish
And I won't cry 'cause

He flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And he walks with jesus and his loved ones waiting
And I know he's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me
Don't worry 'bout me
Don`t worry 'bout me




Love you and miss you like crazy!!

Love forever,

Trish

Hey Hon. I've heard this song many times and every time I do I think of you. It is by Caitlin & Will. It's called Address in the Stars.

I stumbled across your picture today
I could barely breathe
The moment stopped me cold and grabbed me like a thief
I dialed your number but you wouldn't be there
I knew the whole time but it's still not fair
I just wanted to hear your voice
I just needed to hear your voice

What do I do with
All I need to say so much
I wanna tell you everyday though it breaks my heart
I cry these tears in the dark
I write these letters to you but they get lost in the blue
Cause there's no address in the stars

Now I'm drivin' through the pitch black dark
I'm screaming at the sky
Oh cause it hurts so bad
Everybody tells me, oh all I need is time
Then the mornin rolls in and it hits me again
Light ain't nothin' but a lie

What do I do with
All I need to say so much
I wanna tell you everyday though it breaks my heart
I cry these tears in the dark
I write these letters to you but they get lost in the blue
Cause there's no address in the stars

Without you here with me
I don't know what to do
I'd give anything just to talk to you
Though it breaks my heart
Oh it breaks my heart
All i can do is write these letters to you
But there's no address in the stars



I know you are always with us in spirit and in our hearts and that you "see" all that is going on. It just kills me that you are not here in body to "experience" it with us. So much happens every day that I wish you were here "in body" for. While life goes on, so they say, it doesn't ever change the way we feel about you or that we miss you any less!!!

Always thinking of you . . .

Love you forever,

Trish

I was looking at a friend of mines list of his friends on Facebook and the last two friends on his list were "Wertz" and "Wise". It made me think of both of your families and hope that they are all doing as well as they can be.
