hey, its me again today its still hard everyday to face a new day without you in it as i sit here and look around your presents is everywhere i feel as though you could still come home at anytime and deep inside i know that is not possible but it is still hard to accept. somedays it seems as though i sit and wait for that moment for you to arrive i just can't believe you won't. andrew and megan are having hard times too andrew is just to macho to admit it to me though you know just how he is with that sometimes i just wish you could talk to him and give him the guidance and wisdom he needs. he was both sad and upset when he came home today he sold a couple of trailers of yours today he was not sure if he had made a good choice. the only thing i could think to tell him was to think of what you would do with them. i only wish you could be here to take care of us as always. you are so missed so very much everyday something comes up and you would understand it so much more than i. you know i never was good at making the decisions that was another one of your jobs that you did so very well. i hope you can not know the hurt left here by your absense.
love you always and forever,
dena remember that was our song well one of them we had quite a few our songs over the years didn't we?

hey, finally our computer is fixed again it was on the blink i missed writing to you it is hard to believe it has already been four long years with out your voice and presence here and again we have missed another one of your birthdays going to the beach was your favorite birthdays and we couldt spend together the days have been hard to say the least we shared so much of our lives together i miss you so much everyday sometimes i still want to watch the patrol cars just to make sure you are not in it. sometimes i still wait for you to come home at night i still leave the light on for you. sometimes i just want to go to the office and tell them to just go out and find you cause i know you are somewhere and someone just won't let you come home to us. megan and andrew don't talk about it much these days they are busy trying to grow up and become adults its hard these days to know just what to say to andrew he is getting close to being a man and i hope he watched you while he had a chance. he is having a hard time trying to learn to be a man he sure could use his dad to show him the way.
love ya always

Daddy, i miss you so much. I can remember that awful day just like it was yesterday. I try to put it out of my mind but the pain of not having you in my life reminds me why you are not with us! This time of the year you used to love, but now i find myself hating it because this was when we lost the MOST important person in our lives!! I miss you everyday! I wish you could see my new dog Jake. He is such a good dog you would've liked him alot!! I love you daddy.
Love ya megan

hey, missing you today i just want to tell you wow so very much today andrew was riding his four wheeler and i just walked out on the porch to see where he was and he looked so much like you it made new tears stream down i just wish you could see him ride that four wheeler it would be like watching some of the stunts you rode on that three wheeler you had. megan is doing better she has had a few bad days of missing you andrew too maybe its just remembering this time of the year and what is about to come up and remembering the days we shared just before our lives changed forever the things that were taking place each day megan looking forward to prom night that weekend and you and andrew burning that brush pile out by the light pole and the weather so very cold and raining and yet you stayed out there in the cold and made sure i stayed inside in the warm or i would have been right by your side helping you as always i can remember cleaning the house watching you from the door to make sure everything was going okay like i could do anything about it if it wasn't that was one of your many jobs making sure everything was okay and it always was. love ya forever, dena

hey, missing you today! wishing we could spend another day together. if we had spent one more day together you would not have taken that awful call and this would not be happening to us. i'm having a few unpleasent days without you here i know you don't want to hear that cause you always wanted us to be happy but truth is that its just to hard to be happy to be here without you don't know what to do or say to anyone. it just seems as though one day i'm going to look around and there you'll be jumping out and saying "boo don't ya think its about time you wake up i'm hungry" cause you sure didn't want to miss a meal did ya? sure wish you would answer me. You are always in my heart.
love ya always, Dena

hey, missing you wanting to talk to you and tell you everything that is going on with our now grown or almost grown children. you have missed so very much parts of their lives now that you would not have ever missed that was one of the reasons you went to that job was to spend more time with megan and andrew's growing up so you could be a part of it with us and now there is no you to spend that special times with them and they miss you dearly but truly try to be strong. the days and let's not forget all those sleepless nights are very hard here without you cause you are so missed and such a special part of our lives that we will not get to share so many special times as our children grow and become adults and have families of their own. our grandchildren will never hear those stories you like to tell or the see the twinkle in your eyes when you laugh but when the time comes i will do the very best that i can to let them know just how special of a person you are and have been to us all.
with all my love

Toney, I can't believe that it's coming up on 4 years without you. I will never forget that Sunday. You came into the center that morning with a smile and great stories about how your "little girl" had grown up and had went to the prom. You and Nathan stood there at my console and we were trying to pull off a joke on the Lt. It was a usual Sunday, kinda a slow dragging day. When the call was taken about a female needing an escort, we just thought it was a routine thing. No big deal huh? We knew you had been on many many others. Something felt different about this one though. I wasn't there on scene but just after your unit, 124, checked on scene, something awful happened. We started getting in several calls from neighbors and they told us that ONE OF OUR OWN, was down. As Nathan tried to scream for help on the radio and the incoming calls, time stood still. We felt like we were moving in slow motion. We started the whole calvary to assist you guys. Nathan's cry for help on the radio is something that I can't get out of my head. I hear every single word still almost 4 years later. We were trying our best to maintain radio traffic and the phones. All the other agencies stopped all traffic to us, your communications. We are your lifeline and sometimes I still feel like we failed you that day. You were a great person to talk to on the other end, never complained about having pending calls or helping out your fellow partners. I just wanted to tell you that your lifeline misses you. Your life was cut so short by such an awful act but you went doing what was most important to you, and that was helping other people. Unit 124 will never be forgotten. Thank you my friend.

hey its me again hope all is okay with you you can't even imagine the things i would like to talk to you about now andrew is having a real tough time still too as well as megan but he seems to keep more to himself til he explodes cause he can't hold it in any more i know you would know just what to say to us all to let us know everything is going to be alright but there is only silence where once there was your voice so strong and easy to lean on and your wisdom seems that you had all the right words just when we needed them you are missed so very much there are no words to express just how much you are missed
love ya always

hey, its snowing outside today! as the snow falls so do the tears of remembering how much fun we had in the snow you always loved to go out to play in the snow with megan and andrew. now it is just sad to watch it fall from the darkened sky. remember the time we were working on our new house trying to get everything finished so we could move back home where you loved to be. it came the biggest snow fall we had seen in several years that winter and yet you found amusement in playing in the snow eventhough it ment us not moving home for several more weeks you still played out in the snow sleding and building snowmen with megan and andrew and me of course because where you was so was i except times at work i miss that so very much i miss you so very much my love.
