We, here at Southern Oaks, all love and miss Mr. Putt. He used to sit under our big oak tree out front and watch over our little community. Mr. Putt always had time for us,he was never to busy to stop and make sure every thing was OK. Things are not the same since he is gone. No one sits under the oak tree anymore, but when WE look out our front door at that TREE, we think of Our brave Asst. Cheif of Police, Mr. Putt, and always will. Our love and prayers goes out to the family, who we know miss him very much.

We would have been married 37 years today.YOU were my best bud,we could still laugh over the silliest mess.One of our sons would always say we were like a king and queen sitting on our thrones[recliners],and basically that was the way we were.WE lived in our on little world and didn't seem to need anyone else,just you,me,and Byron.But,oh,how that has changed.Your death has brought me closer to so many people that had seemed to have drifted away from me.So in death there is new life even on earth.I hope you know I'm beening taken care of--just got a hug from Sarah--it hurts me to know you miss things like that.They all miss you so much.Sarah said you and JESUS came in room the other night and stood at her bed.Life is so busy for me but there is still a lonesome void.There is never happiness.Right now I'M listing to the Oak Ridge Boys,I guess it never hurts to hurt sometimes, the song is so much like the way I feel. I try so hard but I just go the motions of living. Maybe things will get better and the tears will stop.But as they say old habits are hard to break and right now withdrawals are killing me.Life should not be like this.I will always LOVE YOU!

The morning you died, the whole town was still and quiet. I felt scared. You had protected me against this man that took your life. You always made me feel safe (knowing you were here), but now what . . . . .? Life goes on, but not without you still in our hearts and thoughts. Thank you for being there for me when I needed your help. You are soooo missed.

putt was the police officer that you always felt safe knowing he was there.when i heard what had happen i was in sunday school and got up and left crying.all i could think was not putt and that i had to find sue.putt always made me laugh,life has changed so much,for me and for sue,i understand her pain more than she knows.i think of her has a very good friend and i will always be here,i can tell her that time helps but the pain never goes away,we just get better at hiding it,we are never the same.putt was a good man,but only sue knows what a great man he was.and yes sue i look for him still under the oak tree. ,a friend,wanda

THIS MORNING WAS A SAD TIME FOR ME AS I DROVE THUR OUR TOWN OF WISNER AND YOUR PATROL CAR WASN'T THERE PARKED UNDER THE PINE TREES AT THE CHURCH. I KNEW TODAY AS I WENT TO WORK FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A WHILE THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF MY LIFE WITHOUT YOU. THE TERRIBLE SADNESS DOES END, BUT A NEW SADNESS BEGINS, THE SADNESS OF A LIFE WITHOUT A PERSON YOU SPENT ALMOST FORTY YEARS WITH. LOVE

My First Christmas In Heaven
I see countless Christmas trees
Around the world below
With tiny lights, like Heaven's stars
Reflecting in the snow.
The sight is so spectacular,
Please wipe away the tear.
For I am spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.
I hear the many Christmas songs
That people hold so dear,
But the sounds of music can't compare
With the Christmas choir up here.
I have no words to tell you,
The joy their voices bring.
For it is beyond description
To hear the angels sing.
I know how much you miss me,
I see the pain inside your heart;
But I am not so far away,
We really aren't apart.
So be happy for me, dear ones,
You know I hold you dear
And be glad I'm spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.
I sent you each a special gift,
From my heavenly home above,
I sent you each a memory
Of my undying love.
After all, love is a precious gift
More precious than pure gold;
It was always most important
In the stories Jesus told.
Please love and keep each other,
As my Father said to do.
For I can't count the blessings
Or love he has for each of you.
So have a Merry Christmas
And wipe away the tear
Remember I'm spending Christmas
With Jesus Christ this year.

Upon the markers of their graves
Our heroes etched in names we save
For all the life they gave with pride
To keep the peace within life's stride
To honor serve and do their best
To keep us safe through any quest
They gave up what was theirs to share
Their spirits shall be always near
No fear within the hearts and minds
To keep us safe within our times
The glory that is ours to see
Those special hearts of bravery
They have walked where no man dare
Their lives in danger with no care
For they have given all they could
For their courage we have stood
In awe of every one who gave
His life for others who they saved
So we will know their contribution
Their firm resolve and resolution
For those they left with hearts so broken
In every whispered word that's spoken
We bow our heads in confirmation
In every word life's revelation
Those who stand within their shoes
Will follow courage as they choose
And give to all the best they had
They carry on with spirits glad
We will know that they walked through
With colors bright and hearts so true
No Island stands alone they say
For heroes they are born this way
Protecting those with loyalty
A glimpse of so much royalty
Within the years of courage bound
These officers have earned their crown
Upon the earth we shall remember
The special goals and all their thunder
That proves a hero came our way
Who left their hearts on earth to stay.

I first met Mr. Putt when he went to work with the Baskin P.D. Throughout the years, I developed a special relationship with him and have always had the utmost respect for him. Ms. Sue, Bryan, Carol, and Shane, I can't put into words how much my heart aches for you all, but know that I'll always carry with me the memories that me and Mr. Putt shared! I love you all and will continue to pray for GOD to give you strength and HIS love through this! Mr. Putt, I'll miss seeing you parked under your tree in Wisner! We love you! The Eubanks Family
