Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Happy Easter Bill,
Once again another holiday without you. I look at the picture taken last Easter of all of us, re-creating the picture taken when we were young, and you have that grin on your face and I can still hear your laugh that went with it..I treasure those times, even though right now they make me sad knowing you are not here and why. I never imagined you would not be here and always looked forward to being together - I miss hearing that giant walk of yours knowing you had arrived. I miss you. Thanks for being with mom on Friday - she could feel you with her. Love you-Jayne

Its baseball season Bill and this time of year really has me missing you(although I miss you everyday!)One of my earliest memories is of you me dad and mr mosely going to the cards/giants game in 66 and the hours and hours we spent in the backyard playing catch,fuzzball and wallball.Then at night taking our shoeboxs to bed and making baseball card trades.The last conversation we had on this earth was about baseball...you knew your stuff you were almost impossible to stump at baseball trivia!!You also were a good player Id like to think its because you had agood player to practice with!Ill keep leaving the baseballs because it was one of the things that when I think about it brings a smile to my face and now adays those are hard to come by mike

I really miss you. I could always talk to you and always end up laughing. I could really use one of those talks now. Love you-Jayne

The fifth of the month is here again. Time keeps moving on, but my heart is still in the same place. I'm trying to learn to live without you, but it's a hard journey. I miss talking to you, laughing with you and knowing that you were always there. You are the first and last thing on my mind each day. I can still see that Boston cap, that boyish grin and that lumbering walk. Rest in peace my giant little brother. I will never forget you. Love, Kath

I may lie and try to feel that I am dreaming,
I may lie and try to say, "Thy will be done"-
But a hundred such as I will never comfort Erin
For the loss of that noble son!

Bill,
I just found out about this today! I am so damn sorry to learn this. It's just not fair. I guess its been 16-17 years since I've talked to ya. You were just one of the new kids on the department when I left but I can see and hear you right now as we used to sit, parked side by side, talkin' on some of the midnight shifts. As big, impressive, deep voiced and sincere as you were -- you held me in awe of you even when you were a young rookie. If I'm remembering correctly, you were still single with no children yet -- just an impressive kid intent on being a good cop. I'm sorry Bill. I am so very sorry -- but I know you're up there watching over and taking care of the other guys on KPD.
Help 'em out.

Bill, It's seven months today. I wish I could say its easier. But its not. I miss you everyday, I miss you every minute. Please continue to pray for us. I love you always, Kath.

February 5, 2006

Bill,
Tomorrow will be seven months and it hasn't gotten any easier. There have been so many things lately that I want to pick up the phone and talk to you about and this is when the pain hits the hardest. I can still see your face and of course, hear your laugh, so vividly. We were just talking about one of your laughs the other night where Mike would get you going so hard that you couldn't breathe - and of course, we all laughed because we all tried to imitate it! We all miss you so, so much and wish we could hear that laugh again in person. Please give us your strength and guidance. We need it. Love you-Jayne

February 4, 2006

coming up on 7 months and I still cant believe your gone I think of you every day I wish I could have talked with you just one last time When I hear that song "one more day" I think of you...one more day!!!I love you Bill

I was thinking about that time we were with Gram at the Nursing Facility. You were wheeling her down the hall and all the other residents were just in awe of you. They all wanted to meet you and you were very friendly saying "Hi" and "Nice to meet you." You looked like such a giant next to them. Well, a crowd was kind of gathering and Gram got a little mad and yelled "DO YOU THINK I COULD SPEND TIME WITH MY OWN GRANDSON?" I was thinking how proud of you she must be up there and I'm wondering if she's telling the angels, "Can I spend time with my own Grandson?" Love you Kath
