You are not forgotten Bruce my dear,
Nor ever shall you ever be;
As long as life and memory last
I shall remember thee.

So sadly missed

I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the gentle autumn's rain
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.

Forever in my thoughts.

Missing you today on your 50th birthday. I am back in NH again soaking in the glory of the mountains which remind me always of you.

WE WERE TALKING ABOUT YOU LAST NIGHT AND THIS MORNING. THIS BIRTHDAY WOULD HAVE BEEN A MILESTONE. YOUR DAD CAN'T REMEMBER A TIME WHEN YOU WEREN'T IN HIS LIFE. WHEN HE
WALKS THE DOG LATE, AND LOOKS UP AT THE NIGHT SKY, HE ALWAYS THINKS OF YOU.

Another Birthdate. Should have been the 50th till that someone took that from you. :(

When someone we love becomes a memory,
that memory becomes a treasure.

The video of this incident is very sad. Officer McKay used compassion by employing mace. Unfortunately, the suspect didn't afford him the same. His family are in
my thoughts and prayers. May they know what a true hero
Officer McKay is.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal,
Death leaves memories no one can steal.

Gentle clouds trace the sweep of your angel wing.
Your smile sets the Heavens aglow.
Your precious memories are for keepsakes,
with which we never part,
God has you safely in his keeping,
But we have you forever in our hearts.

Over a year has passed, miss using you as a sounding board for case law and such. Miss the conversation at teh town line. You have been missed.

We hold you close within our hearts

and there you will remain,

to walk with us outside our lives

until we meet again.

B ~ I went to a post wedding bar-b-que today without you by my side. It was an emotionally trying day for me. I thought the day would have been similar to what we had planned: a beautiful morning at the top of Cannon Mountain with the JP, formally exchanging our love and devotion to one another; then a weekend get-away (our secret destination); followed by a small party with our happy kids, immediate family and friends. In my heart I know it would have been my dream come true, complete bliss, total contentment, since I was already living my dream with you. My heart aches deeply and the tears continue to fall. The plans that we had made together have not come to be as we had longingly anticipated and the days we both counted down to making it official seem silly now. Our lives paths had finally merged. Bruce, the love and trust we shared continues to sustain me...

Bru -

More than a year has passed since your brutal murder. Two of our daughter's birthdays have come and gone; two Father's Days; your Birthday; Christmas; and a number of things in between. Time is passing by, but it feels as though we are only going through the motions of daily life. Dazed, sad, confused and lost best describe how we feel. Our hearts are heavy. The pain is intense. This is a nightmare. It is difficult to accept that you are gone. My heart aches for you, your suffering and pain. It aches for our daughter knowing that you will not be physically here to be part of her life, to see her grow and mature from the beautiful young lady that she is today to the beautiful strong woman that she will become. It makes me physically ill to think and try to come to terms with the fact that she will not have you here for the rest of her life - - to talk with, to cuddle with, to hug, to tell you she loves you, to chase away her potential boyfriends, to help get her ready for the Prom, to see her graduate from high school and from college, to walk her down the aisle - - so many things lost. We love you and miss you Bruce. Thank you for being a part of our lives. We honor and remember you daily.

Always,
A

Hi Dear brother

I am here in your beautiful NH North Country visiting your brothers and sisters in blue. I arrived yesterday, visited with your incredible daughter who is growing very tall very fast. I am a proud Aunt indeed. I am showing your LEO friends a memory book I made in your honor and especially for them, along with a special documentary video I put together from Police Week in May. I am happy and sad to be here for obvious reasons, but overall this is an incredibly healing trip for me and I needed to do it. I know why you loved this area of the country so much. It's God's gift.

I miss you with all my heart,
Moon

I am so saddened to hear of Bruce's death. As a college friend from NEC...I always remember what a great guy he was after all these years. He certainly did not deserve to die in the line of duty. I will pray for your family.

God Bless you!!!!! I was looking at some training videos on youtube and one of the videos that were on there was your last moments on this earth and I am soo upset to see that video and had to come here to leave a reflection. I am sooooo sorry that your life ended so violently!!!! I am glad to hear that that marine killed the SOB that shot and ran over you like a animal. Rest in peace and may god wrap his loving arms around you and your family.

They say there is a reason,
They say that time will heal.
But neither time or reason,
Will change the way we feel.
For no one knows the heartache,
That lies beyond our smiles.
No one knows how many times,
We have broken down and cried.
We want to tell you something,
There won't be any doubt
Your wonderful to think of,
Hard to be without.

B~ The tragic news story of your murder and aftermath will air tonite on ABC's 20/20 (Oddly scheduled for Friday the 11th, exactly 14 months since your death). The previews don't look pretty! I only wish that the story isn't sensationalized to tarnish your memory and integrity by those who didn't know you well. What I do know is that any negative thoughts or ideas that may be said about you will not diminish the selfless, kind, loving, and caring man you were to your daughter, my sons, myself and our family. Your spirit lives on in those of us that will always love you dearly. xo~ S
