Gary-how is it possible that 17 years have passed since that horrible day? Some days it feels like yesterday, & other days it seems like forever ago since I last saw you. Trying to simply be grateful for all the years we had together, but it just wasn’t enough. It would never have been enough. Miss & love you more than words can say.
Together Forever-I love you

Gary-the instant I read this saying, it struck my heart. So very true

“And I’d choose you.
In a hundred lifetimes
In a hundred worlds
In any version of reality,
I’d find you & I’d choose you”
I love & miss you always❤️

Gary-
15 years......a lifetime. Miss & love you every day. It's so hard to even comprehend that its been 15 years today since you died.

I wish I knew who wrote this, but it is so perfectly said:

"I was supposed to spend the rest of my life with you
And then I realized....you spent the rest of your life with me
I smile because I know you loved me 'til the day you went away
And will keep loving me....'til the day we're together again"

Gary-today should have been our 30th anniversary. This year it’s harder than most. I’ve now had the same number of anniversaries without you as we did together. Love & miss you always-today it just hurts more.

Gary-pulling out of the drive of our home for the final time was easier than I expected in some ways, yet harder in others.
So hard to actually leave the house that we built 27 years ago -all the hopes & dreams we had. A home filled with laughter & love. Plans to grow old together there

Gary had that larger than life personality. Always smiling, joking and enjoying life. He touched so many lives and continues to do so every year. Missed dearly, never forgotten!

Gary- today, as everyday, my thoughts go to you. National Police Week- a time of remembering and honoring the Fallen Officers. In all the times we went to DC together for Police Week, I never imagined your name on that Wall. Now, 8 1/2 years later-it still seems unreal. You were always a hero to me-well before that day on August 22, 2006. Will honor & love you always

Gary-I can't believe it's been 8 years since your death. This world has changed so much, yet love remains. Today, Sept 11. is a day to remember all those that were lost in 20001. So much sacrificed, so many lives destroyed. My thoughts turn to the memorial bracelet that you wore every day, honoring Officer John D'Allera of NYPD, who was killed that horrible day. You were wearing that bracelet when you died. I keep it by your picture as a reminder of your mission to always Honor the Fallen Officers.
This has been an incredibly heartbreaking year for IN's Police Community-to date, 4 Officers have sacrificed their lives this year. Four families that will forever feel the pain of their loss. Yet, all those that knew and loved you have promised to continue your pledge to Always Remember and Always Honor the Fallen Heroes, and to support those families left behind.
Love & miss you always
