Bubby,
Your first nephew is finally here. He has those beautiful blue eyes. You'd be so proud! How we all wish you were here to experience this with us. We all miss you so badly. Please keep watch over Daddy and Buck while they're hunting this week. I Love You Bigger than the Sky "Foreber and eber" and I miss you like crazy. Please keep watching over us and protecting us, our guardian angel. All my Love.

Well Chas, little Charlie is almost here. Your first nephew. I'm praying he has his Uncle Charlie's smile, beautiful blue eyes and big loving heart. You're missed terribly, Son, but you already know that. I wonder many times why this had to be, but apparently God needed you more. We've had our times, both good and bad, but you'll always be my first son, no matter what. And it has been both a pleasure and an honor to have you in my life. I love you bigger than the sky, Charlie. You're in my heart for always!

Bubby,
I miss you so much. Even the happiest events have bittersweet emotions. It's not the same anymore. Baby Charlie will be here soon. It tears us up that you won't be here to hold your nephew. The holidays are coming up again. They make it soo much harder to deal with losing you. They say time makes all wounds heal, its not true at all. It feels like yesterday. Its been over 2 years and the wound still feels as fresh. I'm so lost without you. Please keep watch over all of us and keep us all safe, our Guardian Angel. You've been doin a good job. I Love You Bigger than the Sky with all my heart forever and always. Best Buddies "foreber and eber". I miss you Big Guy!

Our sweet baby turned 5 today. His laugh, smile, faces, everything, is a reflection of you. You would be so proud of the boy he is today. Keep watching us from above. All my love.

Just when I feel like I'm alone, you send a reminder. The deer at the cemetary were the perfect reminder of you. Love you.

I miss you so terribly! Everyday is just like the day before. Full of pain. I am so tired of putting on a smile and pretending that i'm ok. I don't know how to put it, im just.. not. It doesnt matter what I do, I am constantly reminded of you. You never leave my mind. Your always there. You always have been and always will be everything to me. Since you've been gone, I have noone to talk to. Noone to convide in. Losing you has changed my life drastically, but not for the better. I feel so empty and alone. Your in every song I hear on the radio. It doesn't matter what the songs about, somehow I can relate it to you. Your in everything. I still have the blanket you gave us for Christmas and I can't sleep without it. It's like having a part of you here with me. Nothing has changed, I still can't sleep. It comforts me to know that you still care, I still have the dreams you send me. I know you mean well and it does comfort me, but I still wake up bawling. I have people tell me I look just like you and Dad. They don't realize how much that means to me. I take it as the greatest compliment in the world. I was looking at Dad the other day and I realized his eyes have done the same thing mine have. They turned blue. We both miss you tremendously. Your our Guardian Angel, and that brings us some comfort. Your nephew will be here soon, and it breaks all of our hearts that you won't be here. Bubby, I will always love you more than anything in this world. You will always be my everything. my #1. Please keep watching over us and protecting us. I Love You Bigger than the Sky, Best buddies "foreber and eber".

I wrote Happy Birthday to you on everything else. I meant to write it on here, I'm Sorry. Happy 31st Birthday Bubby! It would have been wonderful to have you here to celebrate it with, but I bet you had a wonderful birthday with Jesus. We all still miss you terribly down here. We had KK's baby shower, we really missed you there. I know its a girls thing, but you still would've been invited. I miss you so terribly, it will never get any easier. Please keep watching over us and protecting us all. We know your our Guardian Angel. All my Love forever and always! Bigger than the Sky! Still my #1. Best Buddies foreber and eber. Love, Sissy

Happy Birthday Buddy, you'd be 31 today. I was thinking about our last birthday dinner and I made you each sushi, Good Times.

Well Mr. Citizen, I guess you have figured me out. I seem to fit neatly into the category you place me in. I'm stereotyped, characterized, standardized, classified, grouped, and always typical. I'm the "lousy" cop.

Unfortunately, the reverse isn't true. I can never figure you out.

From birth you teach your children that I am a person to be wary of...and then you're shocked when they identify me with my traditional enemy, the criminal.

You accuse me of coddling juvenile criminals, until I catch your kid doing something.

You may take an hour for lunch and several coffee breaks each day, but point me out as a loafer if you see me having just one cup.

You pride yourself on your polished manners, but think nothing of interrupting my meals with your troubles.

You raise hell about the guy who cuts you off in traffic, but let me catch you doing the same thing and I'm picking on you.

You know all the traffic laws, but never got one ticket you deserved.

You shout "Foul!" if you observe me driving fast enroute to an emergency call, but literally raise hell if I take more than ten seconds responding to your call.

You call it "part of my job" if someone strikes me. But its "police brutality" if I strike back.

You wouldn't think of telling your dentist how to pull a badly decayed tooth, or your doctor how to take out your appendix, but you are always willing to give me pointers on law enforcement.

You talk to me in a manner and use language that would assure a bloody nose from anyone else, but you expect me to stand there and take it without batting an eye.

You cry, "Something has to be done about all the crime!" but you can't be bothered with getting involved.

You've got no use for me at all, but, of course, it's OK if I change a tire for your wife, deliver your baby in the back seat of my patrol car on the way to the hospital, save your son's life with mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, or work many hours overtime to find your lost daughter.

So, Dear Citizen, you stand there on your soapbox and rant and rave about the way I do my job, calling me every name in the book, but never stop a minute to think that your property, your family, or maybe your life might depend on one thing - me, or one of my buddies.

Yes, me, the lousy cop.

Today was another somber holiday without you. How I miss your laugh as you would light off the fireworks at night. I miss lighting them off with you. We dont celebrate anymore, considering it was your favorite holiday. It doesnt feel right doing the stuff you used to do. I miss you more than anything. Take care of Chaps for me. I Love You more than anything in the world. You will always be my everything. Still my #1.. you will NEVER be replaced. I dont know how people do it, but your spot in my heart will NEVER be replaced. I will always be incomplete without you. I hope you had a Happy 4th in Heaven! I love you bigger than the sky Bubby! best buddies "foreber and eber". I miss you terribly more and more everyday. I love you

It's hard to believe it's been two years already. We had our second annual Charlie "Cook-out". It was a lot of fun getting together with everyone, but at the same time it's bittersweet because you are not there with us. Trev is getting so big, you would be so proud of the fine young man he is becoming. Renee is doing an amazing job. You would be so proud of her too. We miss you Charlie, and think of you everyday. Gone, but NEVER forgotten.....

I cant believe its been 2 long and dreadful years. It doesnt seem believable. It seems like yesterday. I miss you so terribly. Nothings the same. Lifes so full of misery and heartbreak. I feel so empty inside without you here with me. You are always on my mind. You were the glue that held me together and now that your not here, im falling apart. I am so lucky to have had you as a big brother and a best friend. You always were and will always be my idol. You were such an awesome person to look up to. So full of life and you had such a big heart. I will always wish for one more day with you. All these songs on the radio remind me of you. Im constantly reminded of you in everywhere I go and everything I do. We shared so many good times and memories. I will cherish them always, just as I will you. I wish I could hear you tell me you love me one more time and I could have one more "Bubby Bear Hug". Please watch over us all down here and help us through this terrible day. I will ALWAYS love and cherish you more than anything. You will always be my everything. Thank you for everything you have done for us. Most of all, Thank you for blessing my life with you in it. You have always been my personal angel. Now that your gone your still taking care of me, I just cant see you do it. HEROES LIVE FOREVER.. gone but NEVER forgotten. I love you bigger than the sky. Best buddies "foreber and eber". missing you...
love ya, sissy

I have read every single reflection. I have shed many tears. I feel like I know you all as I know my own family. I wish that there was something I could do to help soften some of your sad days. It is amazing the love that radiates from your words. He is gleaming up there...knowing how deeply he is loved and adored by so many!
