Your big sister has just driven off with the last three deliveries and now I'm getting weepy thinking of you two delivering together.......what I would give to be wondering where in the world you two were and how in the heck could the deliveries be taking as long as they were!?! Aw yes, the explanations....."Matt would never get out of the car", "it was Jenny's turn", "Santa was on the side of the road and I needed my picture made with him",....and those were just the excuses I actually heard :). But! It's over!! Ethan helped load the van several times, and Ella reminded me she still wants to run the shop with Aunt Jess so maybe there's hope for another generation.

You have been on my mind so much. I was thinking of when Daddy and I were headed to the hospital to have you....the Friday before Mother's Day and I had waited as long as I could because he and Grandpa were so busy at the shop; finally I called and said "We have to go!". Daddy ran to the house, we jumped in the car and headed for UT Hospital. On the way I said "So what are we going to name him or her" ( because we had not been able to agree on names) daddy said "Baby, whatever you want to!" (Lesson--on the way to the hospital to have a baby you can get your way really fast). And then it was YOU!!! Jesse Matthew, always, always I haved loved your name.....it's exactly the name you were meant to have and we were meant to have YOU.

I love you my Son, my Life. Tomorrow I will again wear the 'diamond bracelet' you proudly gave me one mothers day, and the necklace that you all gave me and included the cat and the dog with the three of you.....every mother should be so blessed as I have been.

Forever and Always, to Eternity and Beyond

Matt,

I wanted to wish you an early Happy Birthday. I'll be on my honeymoon in Ireland and I don't know how much internet access I'll have to be able to do it on that day. I just want you to know that I miss you and I'll be thinking of you every time we see a Celtic cross.

I miss you terribly, but I feel like I could turn my head at any minute and you would be standing here.

Happy Easter My Beautiful Son.

I love Easter. I love it because it reminds me that I KNOW you are okay and that we will be with you again.

I love you. We all have our journey- mine is more mundane than yours and Jessica's...lol, but...I am grateful for the journey and all that goes with it. I am grateful for you.

I love reading the notes your mom sends to you; it reminds me of what is important in life and make me appreciate what I have.

May God continue to watch over you and your family.

Thank you.

Back from our trip which was awesome; and really? could you have sent us any more pennies?:)the one I found on the cobblestone streets in Old San Juan; the one directly in Jessica's path as we going to the ferry to say goodbye; the WHOLE lookout window in Fort San Cristobal filled with hundreds of them; the one an older lady in the airport leaned down and picked up and then turned immediately and handed to Dad....and oh yes, the one you sent Jenny!( who was holding down the shop and crazy busy while we were running around the island:)! It never ends, because our love never ends.....and never will. I love you forever, to eternity and beyond.

Going to see Jessica tomorrow in Puerto Rico :). Wish it was that easy to come and see you. I know you will be watching over us and with us as always in our hearts and souls.

Love you more than forever.

I read an entry written by your mom on another fallen officer's memorial wall and came to see yours. It is obvious that you were a very loved young man, and it hurts my heart to think of the suffering of your family.

As a mother and a police officer myself, I cannot imagine ever being without my kids, or my kids being without me. Your mom is obviously a strong lady...probably where you got it from.

My thoughts and prayers are with all who love and miss you. RIP brother.

Well, the holiday I love to hate is over.....honestly it went very well (other than daddy being so sick he could hardly stand there and put the roses in the vases) but they were spectacular as always and everyone stepped up and got it done. Josh said at one point gosh Aunt Linnie you're still in a good mood :). The huge space that is you will never be filled but your guys were here still helping deliver and give me a hug. I talked to you before I started the day and just asked you to be with me and keep your arm around me and you did. I love you son that's what the day is really about, all of us being together. I know you are amazed at Jenny, I walked up front at one point and she had like 12 different orders in both hands and was answering the phone and waiting on people ALL with a beautiful smile.......what can I say.........my kids ARE AWESOME!!!!! Jenny, Matthew, Jessica you are the valentines of my heart for always and forever.

Matt,

I'm so sorry I have been by here lately. I am absolutely crazy stressed with the wedding planning. BUT..I'm almost done and I have 92 days left. I was thinking of you the other day when I went through Harriman. Thinking about all the places you'd hide to get behind me, run my tag, and the Nextel me while dispatch was reading my tag back to you. You were always silly like that. I miss you a lot.

I'll try not to be away too long again.

You were a great SRO. The kids always looked up to you. You are not forgotten in this town or county. Saw your mom the other day.....you are always in her heart.
