Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Today would have been your 38th birthday. I can't believe this is the third birthday you've missed. I was imagining Cody waking you up with "Happy birthday daddy" and giving you hugs and kisses.

I went to the cemetery today and as I was sitting there I heard bagpipes off in the distance. I thought it was my imagination at first. After a few minutes it started again. It grew louder and I really felt that it was a sign from you.

Miss you so much. It gets harder each day without you. I would give anything to be able to tell you happy birthday.

I love you

Hi Jo Ann....just wanted to say I think of you and Cody often. I Hope to see you again soon. The both of you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

SAINT MICHAEL'S BOYS

Not long ago, the struggle between Good and Evil erupted, again, into war. The Devil threw his forces against the very Gates of Heaven, themselves. His attack beaten back, he withdrew and called for a meeting with God.

And Satan began.....

Who were those men who stood their ground,
When they were just some thousand few?
And when Gabrielle's Army is clad in gold,
Why did they all wear blue?

"They were out-numbered ten-to-one
And should have run like new-born foals,
But when they showed no fear I realized
That you'd used men who have no souls,

"And there, at last, I have you,
Through all your boasts you've lied,
So no more claims of righteousness
And behind no more Commandments hide,

"You've cheated and you've robbed me,
Those men, they are my proof,
The soul-less can't be yours in Heaven,
But mine in Hell, beneath my roof."

God listened, then replied....

"My poor, misguided child
Can't you see the error of your ways?
Those men just stood against you, now,
As they did in mortal days,

"I knew they wouldn't turn and run,
For they've seen your worst before,
And that is why I placed them there,
To keep safe and guard my door."

"As for those battered coats of blue,
They're worn with such fierce pride
That if I ordered them to change,
Then even I might be defied,

"Ye, you believe they have no souls,
When their souls are why they're here,
For in life each took an oath they kept
Although the price was steep, and dear,

"Even tempted by the face of death
Their hearts did cowardice decline,
You see, they never could be yours,
As they were then, and always, mine,

"And it's strange that you don't know them,
Since you've sent me every one,
Each time your murderers and theives
Killed a policeman's father's son,

"With tear-stained eyes I greet them all,
Cut too soon from their families' joys,
So send me all your soldiers of Hell...
And they'll meet Saint Michael's boys."

May God bless you always. Thank you for your service to mankind.

To your wife and mother, may God continue to give you strenghth and courage to continue. Please remember that Larry is only gone in a physical sense, sprititualy he lives on in all of you. May God craddle him in His loving arms.

Larry,

Thinking of your family during this holiday season. I can't begin to imagine how hard it is for Jo Ann. I have read her reflections and her candle for you shines so bright. I don't ever think the flame will go out. I hope an pray that she makes it through the holidays and that she remembers the magic the holidays hold for Cody. I think about you and your family often. Jo Ann, Cody and your mother are in my prayers and will continue to be.

Jo Ann, I can't imagine how you feel, but stay strong one day at a time one step at a time. Take your old traditions and bring them into Cody's life, but also give him new traditions. Traditions that he will come to know is from your heart to his. Continue to know Larry is with the both of you looking over you and keeping you safe feel him around you. Know he is very proud of you and he will continue to help you find your strenght within. My prayers continue to be with you at this time and always.

Thinking of you and your loved ones during this holiday season. I know how hard it is to wake each day and to go one in this world, during the holidays it's even harder. Cotinue to keep watch over your loved ones and protect them. I decorated the exterior of my home for Christmas in all blue lights. One of those lights has been assigned to you and will be lit every night from now until New Years as a tribute to you and your heroism. You have not been forgotten.

Made it through Thanksgiving. Now I have to make it through my birthday, your birthday and Christmas. This used to be the best time of year and now I hate it. I hope that in the future I'll actually look forward to Christmas again. I really want Cody to have the Christmas spirit we both had. I remember every year you'd open one of your gifts from me early so you'd have something nice to wear on Christmas Eve. I miss buying you clothes. I miss everything!

Cody and Seth had so much fun on Thanksgiving. They were into everything. They were throwing things in the tub, emptying the bubble bath, jumping on the bed and running around. They would go in different directions and laugh because they knew I couldn't chase them both. It must be how you and James were as kids. I needed a nap after that. You would've loved watching them. Cody thinks Seth is so cool and will follow him anywhere.

Love you

LL,
I think of you everyday, but Holidays seem to be the toughest. We are thinking of you,Jo,Cody and your loving family today, and know that they have you looking all over them.

As you know, we continue to recognize you, Ray and your families in our prayers. The kids are only begining to get an understanding of what a special person you will always be to our family.

I miss you and as always, wish that day would have never happend. God bless you "Barnes", miss you.

Jo Ann & Cody,

I know this must be a ruff time for you, but I hope you are able to find some happiness and reasons to smile. You are still in my thoughts and prays. I hope this Thanksgiving you are able to remember the many things you do have to be thankful for. Jo Ann, you have a love that many will never have and a beautiful little boy that I know just melts your heart when he looks at you or wraps those little arms around your neck.
You are in my thoughts for true happiness again one day.

I know this song would've been added to that CD you made.


IF YOU'RE READING THIS
TIM MCGRAW

If you're reading this
My momma is sitting there
Looks like I only got a one way ticket over here
I sure wish I could give you one more kiss
War was just a game we played when we were kids

Well I'm laying down my gun
I'm hanging up my boots
I'm up here with God
And we're both watching over you

So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul
Is where my momma always prayed where it would go.
If you're reading this I'm already home.

If you're reading this
Half way around the world
I won't be there to see the birth of our little girl
I hope she looks like you
I hope she fights like me
Stand up for the innocent and the weak

I'm laying down my gun
Hanging up my boots
Tell dad I don't regret that I followed in his shoes

So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul is where my momma always prayed where it would go
If you're reading this, I'm already home

If you're reading this, there is going to come a day
You move on and find someone else and that's okay
Just remember this
I'm in a better place
Soldiers live in peace and angels sing amazing grace

So lay me down
In that open field out on the edge of town
And know my soul is where my momma prayed where that it would go
If you're reading this
If you're reading this
I'm already home

I was just checking in to see what Cody was up to and saw that your first trial has ended with a death penelty conviction! That is a relief, and I'm so glad you all were able to make it through that ordeal. I hope the next one will go swift and to your satisfaction. We STILL have not gone to trial for my daddy's murder and my husband's attempted murder (and the 2 neighbor's murders) that took place 11/11/04!!! Maybe in the Spring, but that's what they said last year. Now my Daddy's brother has been diagnosed with terminal cancer and may not live long enough to see his brother's murderer get justice. Selfishly, he may not be here to help me get through a trial. Since Daddy died, my uncle has been so wonderful to be there for my brothers and me. I know Larry's family is tight knit and supportive and that is what has sustained them all. Unfortunately, that isn't always the case. Continue to love each other, and honor Larry's memory. And, Precious Cody, to answer your question "Daddy...where?" he's right there with you~ he'll never leave you, and he loves you with a love we can't understand until the day we join him and all those who've gone on before us. God bless you, Sweet Boy! Love from your Daddy's home State of NC~

Well said!

Death ends a life, not a relationship. We all love you so much and there were many thoughts this week about what a glorious day October 23, 1999 was, and what a stunning couple you and Jo Ann were on your wedding day.

Forever loving you

Mom

October 25, 2007

Jo Ann; I am so sorry for your lose and your pain. I hope some how some were you will find peace and happiness again! Nothing will take the place of what you shared with Larry, but I hope you can find a different type of happiness one day.

October 25, 2007

8 years ago today was our wedding. What a wonderful day that was for us. I still can't believe that I'll never see you again. Life is so unfair. We should be planning something special for our anniversary.

I love you and I always will.

Our wedding song was so perfect for us:

ALL MY ROADS
By Colin Raye

Looking back from where I stand tonight
I wouldn't change a thing about my life
Wrong turns I had to take back in those crazy years
Could not have been mistakes if they brought me here

'Cause all my roads have led me to
This night, this love I share with you
And though the road was never smooth
Life has made me someone who
Could be the right someone for you

I don't regret a single broken heart
That taught me what love is and what it's not
Someone must have planned our two paths would cross
I couldn't see it then but I was never lost

'Cause all my roads have led me to
This night, this love I share with you
And though the road was never smooth
Life has made me someone who
Could be the right someone for you

Detours, dead ends, endless explorations
You were my only destination

'Cause all my roads have led me to
This night, this love I share with you
And though the road was never smooth
Life has made me someone who
Could be the right someone for you

October 23, 2007

You would be proud of Cody. He can say 'FALCONS'. Cody and Jo Ann have been coming to the home games to watch Joseph and Vincent play football. Now he looks at the field and points and says 'FALCONS'. Then, the other night he was over our house and Joseph and Vincent were on the computer. They pulled up the College Park web site and it showed a picture of the football field. Cody said, 'Football Joe Vince'! when he recognized the College Park Football field.

Jo Ann,
I was very happy to see you had been on the site and that all was well with you and Cody. I am sure you need your down time, but I enjoy hearing in your words how you and Cody are and how he is growing.
I hope you are doing well. Continue to remember many of us keep you, Cody and your family in our prayers and thoughts.

Cody loves to ask "mommy...doing" or "mommy...happened" and I have to tell him exactly what I'm doing. So cute! He also loves to swim in the bath. He'll kick his little legs and say "I SWIM" After he gets out of the bath he always gives me the biggest hug. He's really a sweet boy. Today we went to the cemetery and on the way he asked daddy...where? He's getting so big, I just can't believe he's over 2 already. He's still obsessed with guitars and he'll pretend that everything is a guitar. He'll pick up a pan and say "guitar...no...pan" It's his little joke and he thinks it's hilarious. He's still carrying around his little stuffed cat kitty-o. I think he'll be carrying it around for a long time. He sometimes has a 2 year old moment but most of the time he's a happy boy.


Love you
