Barry, I served with Michael T in USMC and he so loved you. I have thought of you often as other officers have been lost. Recently tried to find Michael T but to no avail.

Jean, Ed or Cathy (even Whit or Lacy) Please know you are all thought of often, especially now with this anniversary approaching.

I am still in Omaha but not sure of Dawn and MT

Berry, I know you were a very special man, because I have come to know your mom and dad. They are very special people to me. Your mom does so much to help all the rest of us parents of fallen officers. I don't know where she & your dad find the strength to do everything they do for all of us but it is all appreciated. Thank you for being the fine officer I know you were. Say hi to my son Hal for me. I hope he got to welcome you into heaven.

I remember this night as well... I worked the mids shift at IPC while Barrett was there, and had so recently left for patrol, and I remember the shock at hearing this... so soon after Oscar Hill... and knowing that Barrett's daughter were in High School and (one) would soon be graduating.

Sweet memories flood my soul as I flew in to Las Vegas. Your silly songs and laughter as we came in to Las Vegas for the first time. You will forever make my heart smile through the heartache of missing you.

This is my tribute to Barry today. I miss him as much today as I did twelve years ago. But we have learned to dwell on the memories and focus on knowing that one day, we will see him again. I love you, Shug - always have and always will. We all miss you so much...... Mom

Thinking 'bout you.

I'm just sitting here looking out the window and thinking 'bout you.
Thinking of the good times and the things we used to do.
Laying in the floor on Saturday morning watching the morning's cartoons.
Laughing and playing,
Thinking about good times
Speed Racer, Big Wheels, GI Joe
Thinking 'bout you.

Dad and I always knew you'd grow up to be a special man.
You always wanted to be the good guy, never would give in.
You became a husband and a father
And remained a loving son and brother
Went to serve with Uncle Sam in Desert Storm
And later reached your dream of being a lawman.
Thinking about good times
Thinking about Legos
Thinking about swim meets
Thinking 'bout you.

You left us with beautiful memories, some never been shared
I hope you know how much you were loved and how much we cared.
Your life was taken by a lowly piece of a man
Who has no regard for human life; much less a lawman
Life goes on and you're still so near
All I have to do is close my eyes and you're here.
Thinking about good times.
You were my firstborn
You were my first love
I was your first love.
Thinking 'bout you.

Mom

Hey Bear: Just thinking about you today, as I do every day. I treasure the time we were together, now all I have are the precious memories. I came across the receipt we have from the hospital you were born in....$5.34 !! (I was in the Marine Corps and had permission to use a civilian hospital)....I love you and miss you terribly.....
See you in Heaven..

Happy Fathers Day Bear. Our daughters are the women they are today because of the character and integrity you instilled in them by being a living example. Thank you for being a Godly daddy to our girls. They learned to look to their Father because of you. I love you forever, C

Another year is slipping by and yet it seems like yesterday. Not a day goes by that I don't relive that morning. You are still my partner.

Deputy Hill,

I attended a seminar your wife put on for COPS. Dude, you would be so proud of what your wife has accomplished. She is making positive changes in our profession. I am absolutely amazed she took a horrible situation and has done her damndest to change the way we do things during a critical incident. I have listened to her and I am going to make sure my agency listens to her! You have every right to smile right now because she is doing something great!!

Your Mom recently left a reflection at my son Michael's page, I thank her for that. I know how much it means for others to remember our fallen officers and to never let them be forgotten. I am sure there were people that came to your parents and said they would always there for them but as time goes on they slowly drift away and continue on with their lives. The lives of those that loved you dearly seemed to have stopped and time is measured by two segments, 1)Before you were Killed and 2)After you were killed. Holidays come and you are the talk of the day, but in the past and thats good because it is a way to keep your memory alive. You will always be remembered as you are a true hero and heroes never die. Continue to wrap your wings around all of your loved ones and keep them safe. I have left the following concerning a bereaved mother at other pages for Moms' and I would like to leave it for your Mom for I know her feelings and the aching heart she lives with every day.

"Do not judge the bereaved mother...She comes in many forms...She is breathing, but she is dying...She may look young, but inside she has become ancient...She smiles, but her heart sobs...She walks, she talks, she cooks, she cleans, she works she IS but she IS NOT, all at once...She is here, but part of her is elsewhere for eternity."
