Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I just heard about the bowling party?(what else should I call it)that the pd and friends had in your honor. They half-way, kind of, sort of, shared bits and pieces. I know you LOVED it....Just like I love them now. What would I do without them. They are getting braver about telling me things:)and every little story means more to me than anyone could ever understand.

I love you Son, I miss you more than the world. I wish you would come and hug me, but until you do again, I know you see that the guys are doing it for you.

Someone said your name the other day and I could actually see your name floating in the air as they said it. It was beautiful and amazing. The power of your name and your love is the only thing that keeps me moving through some days. A sad thing happened in our neighborhood yesterday. I used to not understand how things like that happened, now I do. We just hold on to each other and you.......never giving up.......for each other and you.

Matt,

Finally, I finally got hired at Harriman. It would not have been possible if not for you and your parents, I know I will never be able to repay that debt or let them know how much it means to me and how much I love them all. I'll never forget, on my first call Mark, John and myself were outside a house talking to a girl when I just happened to look down and there was a penny heads up sitting right by my foot, I couldn't help but smile because I knew you were right there with me, and always will be. But, if there was any doubt it was taken away on my next call, Mark and I went into a house to take a report, some guy just appeared behind me, I never heard him come up, kinda spooked me being my 1st day and all, but then I just happened to look at the clock and it said 9:20, not just by chance, I know that was you telling me you were with me again, and wouldn't let anything happen to me. I miss you so much and wish we were working together, but I know you are with me everyday and I will see you again.

Love you brother,
Kasey

Matt-
Remember the year mom and dad booked that New Year's trip for us as a family? Pretty sure it was the same weekend of the famous ski experience. I will never try to ski again, by the way. So, anyhow, there we were in this fancy Gatlinburg hotel heading for the 'party' with mom, dad and Jess where we oh-so-quickly found out that we were the ONLY 'kids'. It was like a class reunion and everone was 60 or older. And they played Beach Boys music and we must have rolled our eyes a thousand times. And how we would periodically go out to the hall area to 'get some air', but in reality I was buying a couple glasses of wine and managed to sneak one to you? Too funny. I laugh my rear off remembering that trip. It WAS fun. Aside from the part where you and Jessica left me on the mountain at Ober Gatlinburg with a face full of snow; it is one of my most favorite family adventure memories. I love you.

Tonight I visited Matt's reflections and as always I wept reading your loving messages to your beloved Matt. Your motherly love for Matt radiated from every word. How wonderful the joy we had being a Mom to adorable babies, then fascinating boys who grew into honorable men. How very special each memory is. How blessed we were to have them in our lives. How anquished we are that they are no longer physically here with us, but instead eternally on watch. My mind and soul embraces you tonight.

My thoughts are with your family today. I know it will be the 3rd Christmas for your loved ones to be without you, just as it is with my family and for some reason it feels worse than the last two Christmas' for me. Their thoughts will be of you and all of the past memories of past holidays. You have not been forgotten Matt, nor will that ever happen. Continue to keep watch over your loved ones and protect them.

Beautiful Matthew "Gift of God" I love you more than the world. I keep looking at your precious face as I drive around doing things for Christmas. I'm trying Son. I wish I could hear what you wanted for Christmas........you always had some crazy request that seemed perfectly logical and acceptable to you.......you were the same way about giving gifts.....if you wanted to give it, you did, no holding back. I hope you think your present to Ethan and Ella measures up to your standards. I wonder how long they will believe that you are sending them down from heaven. Maybe long enough.

I love you, I miss you.
Merry Christmas my Baby Boy.

As the holiday season comes upon us we reflect on the good times and how much we miss our loved ones. This Christmas will be as all the others, there will be joy, love and sadness. But as my wife told me "Grieve as you must, but soon you will smile as I would want you to."

May your family find love and joy during this holiday season.

The guardian angels of life sometimes fly so high as to be beyond our sight, but they are always looking down upon us.

Rittenhouse Family, I know Matt is always watching over all of you and us. We can count on that.

I had a dream about you the other night. I could see you right inside of heaven and you were GLOWING. You looked so beautiful and happy. I hope this brings some comfort to your family. You are missed so much on this earth.

you were well. I would love to catch up and share what blessings and time have brought us.I'm still in Litchfield
. Wish I had your email.I hope you see this message and know you miss your son.He was clearly
a fine man to be proud of. Be Well, David
