Reflections for Detective John T. Young

Hi Johnny,
You know when I log on to talk to you I sit and cry because I never got the chance to say good bye but then I start to think that it is never really good bye because I do talk to you every day, probably more now then ever. I do miss you and love you very very much. Always Have, Always Will. Say hello to the rest of the family and don't hasitate to put in my head a "I am just saying". I will know your are near... Love you....

Hi Daddy. Merry Christmas! We spent the day with the WHOLE family. mommy, all of the kids, their husbands and wives and children. it was such a great time. we really missed having you there. you would have gotten a kick out of watching peyton opening her gifts from santa. she actually fell asleep half way through opening them. of course camryn had no concept of what was going on. and come to think of it, i don't think peyton really got it either, but she did enjoy tearing the paper off the packages. mommmy did a beautiful job with everything and went overboard, as usuall. all of us kids did our best to make mom's christmas wonderful, as we know you would have done for her. i'm just getting ready to wrap up the day and get your two beautiful granddaughters to bed. we love you and miss you more than you could know. continue watching over my girls and shannons little boy. and we'll all watch over mommy for you. we love you always.
love kristin

Hi Uncle Johnny,
I haven't written to you in a while, but not a day goes by that I don't think of you and pray to you for your guidance and help. Thank you for answering my prayers and sending me an amazing guy that I am now engaged too. We plan on getting married next October! We are so happy together. As you know I've been praying to you for your help and guidance in this other difficult situation we are going through. I am asking you to send me strength in dealing with this. I was able to see Aunt Maura, Kristin and Shannon and your 2 beautiful granddaughters they are gorgeous. I can't wait to meet Shannon's little boy soon. I truly miss you and wish you could be here to celebrate with me next October, but I know you will be there in spirit.
P.S. I know I hope I am not being a pain with all the prayers, strength and guidance I've been asking for. But I need alot of it right now!
Thank you my guardian angel,
Until we meet again,
Love Always,
Theresa

Hi John -

Just want to let you know what a great friend you are to me & are such a positive mentor in my life. I 'll always hold the fond memories hangin' on my porch w/Jimmy, Bobby, my brother Paul, & myself just about everyday during our school years. Let's not forget your solo during midnight mass @ St. Paul's. Though you had the larengittis ...you still sounded like an angel. "T.G.T.B.F." RIP my friend.

Love Vicky

Hey John;
I took a nice beautiful ride early this morning to come visit with you. I got there just as the sun was rising above the hills. It was nice to enjoy the peacefullness of the morning. The beauty of it all can't overshadow the reason why i'm there, its because your NOT. I come to say hi, to sit in the grass just to feel closer to you. There is not a day that goes by without some thought of you on my mind. Alot seems to be happening. Many babies on the way......Kristen, Shannon and even my daughter in law Nicole....the legacy will always continue to grow. Its like the wild kingdom here this morning, about a dozen deer, two dozen turkeys and I even saw 2 coyotes, guess im not the only one up this early. Today is the day that changed the world for all of us...We will move forward for the sake of our children but always know that your wisdom and guidance will forever be etched in our daily lives.
You are sorely missed by all
, but will NEVER be forgotten.
I enjoy our little private time.....it keeps reminding me of how precious our daily lives are..
Til we meet again
PS: The JETS are gonna need some help...see what you can do..
Luv Ya

Hi John,
As 9-11 approaches once again we are faced with the reality that you are not here with us. So many things are happening and changing - for the good and we wish you were here with us to celebrate and enjoy. Your family is growing....three grandchildren will be here by year end.

The events of 9-11 are still claiming lives and ours have been changed forever. You are missed and I think of you often....Say hi to mom and dad. Guard those babies and watch over us! Love and miss you!

Hi Little Brother;
Where has the time gone, so much has happened in what seems like a short period of time. Your family is bursting out all over....Peyton is beautiful, now she is awaiting a younger sibling...And now Shannon, she will make an awesome mom, she has so much of you in her.....and it just so happens that I too will be a grandpa also, David and Nicole are due a week or so after Shannon, in late December.. going to be a good christmas, one that you will be missed at again......but your spirit lives within each and all of us. Oh I almost forgot, despite all of Theresa's setbacks and miseries she has found a shining star, possible with your help....She became engaged this evening, you wouold like her fiancee Tommy, he was there with her thru your final days..They make a nice strong couple and will add to the already growing family.....So with this all said, you have been updated,,always have to keep you in the loop.....even though you probably know before we do..
as you know we miss you everyday, thank you for your guidance and love....
I will visit yo soon.......we have alot to talk about.
luv ya
Freddy
