Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Billy, we still think of you and miss you every single day. Today is the funeral of Marine Sean Langley. He was killed in Iraq last week at 20 years of age. I have assured his family that he is in good company in Heaven with you and he is actually being laid to rest close to you. We grieve the loss of both of you but are so very thankful that we were blessed by having you both in our lives. We won't forget that you both gave your lives for the good of the rest of us.

Three years, it's not possible. I look at my little girl, and then yours Its not right that we can't keep talking about them together like we used to. I got to read Kaley a story the other day. It was the best feeling. I hope in some way she will remember us, and the ones of us that still come to see your girls. You were a great officer,and friend. I miss talking to you, and of course hacking on you a the same time That radio doesn't sound right. I don't post many messages, I'm here everyday though. Take care 762.. We'll be home soon..

Three years, Billy . . . three years. Seems absolutely impossible. We think of you each day and speak of you so often. We pray that your life is glorious and your rest is peaceful. Can't wait to see you again.

Billy,
Yesterday marked the third anniversary of losing you. Our auxillary had a meeting yesterday morning and we all spoke of how you are missed. You are on my mind constantly. I was at church this morning and had our preacher ask everyone to remember you, Prissy, Kaley and the other families involved. You still make a difference here in Jesaamine County even though you are now seving a higher authority. I have finally hung up my gunbelt for good but you still ride shotgun with me everywhere I go.
Love you brother,
Ballard/775

Don't grieve for me, for now I am free,
I am following the path God laid for me.
I took his hand when I heard him call,
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,
To laugh...to love...to work...to play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way,
For I found peace at the close of the day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joy.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
These things I too miss

Be not burdened with time of sorrow,
For I wish for you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved ones touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all to brief,
Don’t lengthen it now with undo grieve.
So lift up your heart and share with me,
GOD wanted me now ...he has set me free.

You're still sadly missed, and forever thought of.

DON'T CRY

Don't cry any more tears for me.
I am at Peace. I'm finally free.
Like the eagle in the sky,
I am soaring. So, please don't cry.

I know you love me.
I love you, too.
But,my time was over:
was finally through.

I have ascended to a better place,
which is not confined
by time or space.

To those that loved me,
I did not fall.
I only succumbed to a higher call.

Do not mourn me.
I am with you still.
I'll be with you always,
from dawn---until.

Me and mom had a real good talk the other day about me and you when we were younger. We talked about some of the stupid things we used to do as kids. You know that's what I miss the most about you, all the little things. I can remember a song from a cartoon that used to drive me crazy. Any time I would see you, you'd sing that song to aggrivate me, then you'd give that laugh: huh, huh, huh, and that grin. I miss that grin. Jennie says hi. She wishes she had the chance to get to know you more. I got hired by Ingalls Police Department as a reserve. I am taking my pre-basic now, and should be sworn in by Christmas. I wish I could talk to you about it. I'm nervous and excited all at the same time. You know what I'm talking about. Mom went and worked at the funeral of Jake Laird, he was I.P.D. He was killed about two months ago. I'm sure you've met him. You would be proud of mom for that. Everyone in the family is healing in their own ways. They are all very strong. We love you and miss you very much. I'll see you in my dreams, and I know your right beside me in the squad car in Ingalls.

I use to love this time of year. It was my favorite season. Now I wouldn't care it I was able to skip over it. Your little one is so excited about this fall. Talking about the leaves changing colors and falling. Wants to put them all in a pile and jump in them. She carved her first pumpkin last weekend, thought that she would explode while she was doing it. miss and love you

YESTERDAY WAS 9/11, NOT ONLY WILL THAT ALWAYS BE A VIVID MEMORY, BUT SO WILL WATCHING IT WITH YOU, AND HEARING YOU SAY THAT YOU'D LIKE TO GO HELP NEW YORK. YOU WERE SUCH A GOOD PERSON, BILLY, AND TRULY DID CARE ABOUT OTHERS. I CAN ONLY HOPE THAT OTHERS WILL BE MORE LIKE YOU, AND KNOW THAT EVERYONE IS HUMAN-MAKES MISTAKES, BUT STILL DESERVES TO BE TREATED WITH RESPECT. EVEN IF IT'S AGGRAVATING TO DEAL WITH THEM ALL THE TIME. THERE'S NO ONE LIKE YOU. YOU'RE SADLY MISSED, AND FOREVER WILL BE.

Billy, thinking of you today as this weekend is yet another holiday without you. Your Mom misses you so much, and reminds us of how precious life really is. She loves you soooo much. You would be very proud of her, as we are too. Even though she is not in Lexington and living here she still reminds people of her son that was such a hero to others. She always mentions how serving others was your life. As its hers too. AS the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. WE love you this day and always.

Hey, Billy It's been a while, moved to a new office, your picture graces my wall and your memory lives on every day. Life is moving on, I think we might be closer to "going home" than we realize. You probably already know! Take care, Billy, watch our backs.

You are still thought of, and remembered every day, and forever will be. It just doesn't seem fair that everything continues on without you. I know that's how it has to be, but it's sad. continue to rest in peace.

August 25, 2004

Billy, just wanted to let you know you are still missed. Take care, my friend.

August 20, 2004

Billy,
Your tragedy came just one week after starting my tour as a police officer. I remember meeting you several years ago in Civil Air Patrol and through scouting. We chatted a few times while you worked for Fayette Co. SO. It is funny how you make an impression on people so fast and how you won't be forgotten. I know you are watching over all of us while on the streets, and we Than You for that.

Hello. Just thinking of you today. Thinking about one of the times you were "dieting", trying to eat better/healthier and then when you finally went off of that, how you gorged on subway and chips and a huge pop. You were so funny. I miss your jokes and stories.

July 20, 2004

Just wanted to say how much you are missed and that your example lives in all who knew you. I hope you can look down and be happy how we do the job. You left the bar very high!! I pray for your family.

Billy, we are thinking of you often and miss you a great deal. You meant so much to so many and touched so many lives we can't even fathom. Our family still seems to look for completion. I keep finding myself looking for you at Reunion's, birthdays and holidays as that was when we could actually sit down and catch up on things. I miss asking you how things are going and what your next goal is. You were always goal oriented. Life has gone on but not without thoughts of you. Love you.
