Friday AJ & I will be flying to Washington DC to participate in the 2009 COPS Walk. When I broke two bones in my right foot Aug 21st, a few people questioned my ability to take part in this year's event. You are my inspiration for all I do - Run to Remember - Run for Cops -C.O.P.S. Walk. How could I not go? I know you will be there with me - just help me get to the finish line.
Love you forever,

Mom

Sometimes the tears from missing you come out of nowhere. Yesterday, the former Chief of Police from Pekin City called questioning a gun that belonged to your Dad. Thankfully, he left a message because I could not talk - I just cried. Why??? not sure - just a sadness from my heart.
On a positive note - last weekend's golf outing when well - in spite of my broken foot. It was great to see your friends - I'm just so busy that I don't have the time to spend with everyone that I would like.
The foot better heal quickly because on Oct 9th I will be starting my 25 Mile COPS Walk in DC - seven weeks to the day that I gracefully jumped when I should not have.
I miss you so much - more than I dreamed possible.
Love you forever.

Hi Pat,
Your on my mind a lot today. I miss your silly grin. There was a huge storm here the other day and I told my 2 year old that god was bowling and moving furniture in heaven. I laughed and thought of you. You probably would of thought that was cute. She said jesus moving couch? I had a vision of you laughing up there. Miss your laughter.

Patrick,
Two weeks from Saturday we will hold the 5th Annual Patrick Righi Barnard Memorial Golf Outing. Many of your friends will be coming in from all over. It will be so great to see all of them - I feel close to you when I'm with them. The difficult side is the hoping you'll show up - everything was more fun when you were around. I miss you every day. You will be forever in my heart.
Love ya!

Bob & I will be attending Chris's wedding this Fiday - we'll see so many of YOUR friends from Burbank. I would not miss this for the world - hard as it will be without you. I just feel closer to you when I'm around your friends.
Miss you so very much - my life is not the same without you.
Forever in my heart!!!!

Again Saturday I saw how much of you there is in Austin and, surprisingly, how much of me there is in Stacey. A group of us were at the the Extreme game in Bloomington when Austin tossed a nerf football onto the field and hit the only person on the entire field - A hit that was virtually impossible. Of course, Stacey had told him not to throw the football but laughed with the rest of us when the ball hit. You were then blamed for: the hit (you controlled the ball) Austin's actions (the part of him that's like you), the laughter (no one would have laughed louder) - it felt good that you were there - always part of our family.
Forever in our hearts - all of us!!

A group of family and friends attended the Pub Crawl this past Saturday hosted by the Wood Ridge PD (what a great group of guys they are). Laughing – remembering, partying – remembering, drinking – remembering – you were so part of the night.
For me, I feel so less alone after a night of remembering WITH OTHERS. You are on my mind every day – I’m never far from a smile or a tear – nothing – no one can fill the hole created by your lose. You will always be forever in my heart
All my love,

Mom

My radio station just played that song you sang with your band - Eric Clapton had nothing on you. So many memories but I wanted more.
Forever in my heart.
Love ya!

You will be forever in my heart!

You were greatly missed on the holidays again this year! It was so good to see your mom the other day too, Allayna read a poem in your memory at the service. Just wanted you to know that I still think of you often!
