Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Chris~

I think about you often and hope you're okay. I know how hard it was/is on you in dealing with your loss. I'm sure your brother is very proud of the person you've become. May God bless you each and every day & provide comfort to you and your family.

Billy,

We visited your memorial at the SO yesterday, on Father's Day. Had a hard day, especially knowing that this was a special day and not seeing you here. You are still very much a part of us. Memories just seem to flood my mind, searching, trying to find a way that I could of kept this from happening. Still trying to protect you, as only an aunt would. One memory I keep close was when you were in the play down in Danville. We were so proud of you. You were really "hot stuff". Another funny memory has always been when you would beat Jeff at some sort of game or competition and you would have that way of rubbing it in and laughing about it. Oh that would really get his goat. I would just chuckle inside and you would give me that look, and we both knew it was eating him up. But you always knew when to quit.

Just wanted to let you know you are still missed deeply.
Love always,

Karen

Dear Prissy,
Please do not dwell on the death of Billy. Live your life to the fullest, find happiness. You had something soo precious w/him, and yes, it was cut too short, but consider your time w/him as a blessing, and find peace w/it. You're a beautiful young woman, with so much to offer. I can see from your writings that you are still suffering. God Bless You,Find comfort from him. Take comfort in knowing that he loved you sooo much, until the birth of kaley, you were all that he talked about. You completed him and gave him so much happiness. You will see him again,when God is ready. But until then, Be Happy, and don't feel guilty for it. You'll never be forgotten.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of what happened to you, the Captain and Sammy. Even though I have moved on from Jessamine County, you are mentioned quite often. I learned a lot from Mickey, Kimberly, Joey, Kato and everyone else who was around in November of 2001. I take those lessons and their experience with me every night when I come to work to make sure I do the best that I can. I truly believe that Jessamine Co. is one of the best agencies to work for and your legacy lives on. I will always remember you, Prissy and Kayley for what you mean to the special people in Jessamine County and around the state. Thank you!!!

Hi Billy. We were on the internet and decided to leave you a message. I tried out for a softball team last tuesday. One of the best ones in Texas, but I didn't make it. They were way good. I'm playing little league now to get ready for my other tryouts in August(this team isn't as good but still good). I'm excited about that. We only have 3 more days of school left! Last friday we went to schlitterbahn, a huge water park, for our 8th grade trip. I had loads of fun.
I have pretty big plans for the summer. I'm going to Kentucky, and to oklahoma for the womens college world series. I can't wait to go to Kentucky and finally meet Chris. I'm also babysitting all of June. My mom said Hello. It stinks that we never got to know you! We love you!
Love Always,
Lauren

I had prom last month. It was alot of fun. A bunch of us got a limo for the night. We were the only ones too! I bet you saw my dress. I'm going to Alaska with some freinds this summer, so I'm looking foward to that. That's about it. We'll keep in touch!
Love you,

Just wanted to let you know that not a day goes by on a shift that you are not mentioned, its obvious you touched a lot of peoples hearts when you were here serving Nicholasville and Jessamine County. I just wanted to thank you for being there for the citizens and the agency and for making THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE. 568

Billy,
I know it's been awile, but you know how terrible I am about staying in touch. I am sitting here watching the baby, and all I can think about is you. He just turned six months old and my heart just sank thinking about everything. You know he had a hard time in the begining and I turely believe you delivered our prayers personally. I want to thank you for the help and the help you give us all everyday. Billy, thank you for being there and thank you for still being with us.

We miss you Brother.

So many happy things happened this month.......Your birthday, our wonderful daughter was born and our wedding.... This month is full of such great memories and yet I have such a heavy heart this time of year.

Five years old. Can you believe it? Kaley is getting big, and with soooo much attitude. Some times I think so has already beaten me in that department. With my attitude and your temper we really don’t have to worry about her ever holding her own. You would be so proud of her. Smart as a tack, thoughtful, and has a very big heart. God did something right that year!!!! I miss and love you more each day.

Hey Billy,
Its been a long while since I last left you a message, but we lost Ryan in October. Deb and I hope that he is there with you watching over us now. When I was taken out by the two guys in August I some how found the strength to stay in the fight long enough to get help. I hope to again see you one day but for now Deb and I are always trying to raise awareness and money for the Childrens Hospital. Darby, Joey and Mickey are holding a softball tournament in Ryan's name to also help raise some money and attention for the many children in help at the hospital everyday. Well got to go now but I promise not to take so long in writing you again. Prissy came to Ryan's visatation and it was good to see her and all of our friends who came. Love Joe & Deb Saunier

Billy,
I just heard today about another officer who was killed this past Sunday here in Indiana. His name is Scott Severns. Please send angels to help his Mother through this trying time. I know what she is facing and just reading about Scott has brought back a lot of memories and heartache to me. You surely know that I have finally gotten past the anger and am going to church again.
Billy, at times my pain and sorrow gets so bad that I think I will explode. I am comforted by our family and to know that I will see you again in heaven.
I still cannot believe how much Kaley reminds me of you. She even has the same run and walk - the way you used to turn your feet in when you would run. She has our blue eyes and it makes me so happy to see her little bright face and talk to your beautiful daughter. She is such a good little girl. Prissy has done a wonderful job! Kaley and I planted flowers at your grave the Saturday before Easter. We talk about you everytime I see her. I tell her stories about when you were little and how proud I am of you!

Prissy,
I left a message of concern for you quite some time ago. This is the first time I've been to Billy's reflections in a while. My first husband was killed just a month before Billy was and trust me...I know how hard it is to go on. Even when you move on, part of your heart is still back with your husband. I have re-married and still the pain is there everyday and some days its so difficult to have another man in your life. It's so hard not to compare the two of them. Anyway, I just wanted to tell you to hang in there (no I don't think things get much easier, you just learn to deal with them better maybe), and know that I'm praying for you and your little girl.
