Hey Hon. I was listening to my i-pod today when the song "In Memory Of" came on. It was written about police officers who die in the line of duty. I can't seem to find the words anywhere. But anyway, it made me think of you and how much I miss you! Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Although it has "only" been 3 years, it sometimes feels like a lifetime ago. Jared and Josh did very well this season in football and soccer. I saw you flying by several times so I know you were there! I know I say it often, but it just breaks my heart that you are not here in person. It kills me that you are not here to help them become men. I try my best, but I'm not you!
There have been some big changes in my life, as you know. I want to thank you for helping me with them. Although these changes have been a blessing, it doesn't change the way I feel about you or how much I miss you. I'm trying to live my life the best way I know how without you here. You know I would want the same for you if I wasn't here and you were!
Please continue to watch over us, especially the boys!! We all love and miss you terribly! Until we meet again . . .
Love forever,
Trish Trish Wertz

This is not the web site for the New York Yankees gift shop ??? ...... lol.. What's up Brother ??
The Yankees did it, World Series Champs... I know your proud of them. Since I took your place as a Yankees fan I enjoyed every minute of it. The Red Sox fans don't like me, but neither did my ex-wife. I had a World Series bet with Chuck.... if the Philles won I would have to wear a Phillies shirt next time he came up. If the Yankees won ( which they did!! ) Chuck would have to wear a dress next time he came up !!. Looks like Chuck will be shopping for a dress !!.
Good bye for now,

This was Nicholas' first year of football. He is amazing. He was put on the Varsity team, and he is the happiest little kid ever. He started off as a safety and and end, but ended up being a wing back & linebacker. HE is CRAZY!!!!This boy is so freakin fast it is unbelievable. When he gets a hold of that ball and runs, forget about it,he dusts them.I wish you could see him. You definitely would be proud. He makes the same facial expressions that you do. It's amazing how he looks so much like izzy, but sometimes he looks just like you. Definitely acts like you. Loving his sports, wrestling start soon, and we will be running around with that, and then baseball. We really miss you not being here, and it breaks my heart that Nicholas will never really get to really see what his Uncle Scott is like. I tell him stories all of the time, but it just is not the same. I miss you so much, and not a day goes by that you are not on my mind. I love you Scott, and I miss you more everyday.
I carry you in my heart:)
Love you so much.

Hey Hon. Well, today was our "baby's" first day of high school and Josh's first day of 5th grade. They both did well. (It is amazing how time flies!!) It just kills me that you are not here in person to be with them and see them. However, I know you are always watching over them so that brings some comfort. Just know that we love you and miss you like crazy and there isn't an hour of the day that you are not thought of by one of us!
Love forever,

Hi #2 son
I wrote this on your 3rd anniversary, but for some reason it did not get posted. Here it is, three horrible years later since you were taken from us. I hoped it would get easier, but it just is not happening. There are some happy days and that is whyen we know you are here watching over us.
It is still so hard for me to accept that you are no longer with us, and I know I have to face the fact that it is so.
I want to thank you for stopping by the other day. You always seem to know when we are having a bad day and when we need you and we can count on you always being there. It is such a pleasure and makes us feel so good when we see and know you are here watching over us.
Thank you for giving us some sunshine on Sunday so we could get your ride in. I would like to thank everyone who came out and also all the ones who couldn't make the ride due to the weather or having to work, but they were thinking of you and how you were on their minds and in their hearts. They just want you to know that you will never be forgotten.
Please be with Trish and the boys so this day can be a little easier for them.
Love and miss you. Barb

3 Years today.....Not any easier this year than any other.
Last year on this day we were sitting at your trial. The year before that we had wings with Trish. The year before that, I was at Steph and Wayne's house when you kept calling Leisey about the game Sunday. I will always remember what I was doing that night and will always remember were and what I was doing when I got the call....That horrible,horrible night. I will never forget it.
Sending love back.....Lisa Lisa Fronina

Hey Scott...been thinking about you all day knowing it's been three years since you were taken away. The RPD is not the same without you. I still see that smirk you had on the last day I saw you with your red hat worn backwards walking the 4th floor in the services center.
Trish...I hope you're doing okay. I know it's been a while since I've been on but you're always in my prayers. Becky Mooney

Hi #2 son
Well here it is 3 horrible years later since you were taken from us. I hoped it would get easier, but it just doesn't seem to happen. There are some happy days and that is when we know you are here watching over us. It is still so hard for me to accept that you are no longer with us., but I want to thank you for stopping by the other day. It is such a pleasure and makes us feel so good when we see and know you are here.
Thank you for giving us some sunshine on Sunday so we could get your ride in. Thanks to everyone who was there and also to the people who couldn't come (DUE TO THE WEATHER) but were thinking of you and how you were on their minds and in their hearts. They just want you to know that you are not or will never be forgotten.
It just breaks my heart that you are not here in person to see all the accomplishments that the boys do or all their firsts. We miss your hearty laughs that would always let us know you were around.
Please be with Trish day and give her the strength to get through this day. I know it is not easy for her and she seems to hide the hurt and heart ache very well.
Love and miss you so much. Barb

Three F###&** years and it still hurts like it was yesterday!!! I miss you brother. Chucky

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!!! Michele

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,

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,

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. Barb
