Hello Sweet Brian,

We love you so much! We miss you so much! Our lives are so very empty without you! When you walked on this earth, you were a wonderful, loving, and devoted fiance, son, and brother. You were a proud officer, one of the finest. Now, you are one of Heaven's best angels. Please know that we think about you every minute of every day.

May God bless you. We send all our love to you. Until next time...

Brian,
I will be in D.C. this week for Police Week - I will remember you and will be thinking about your family & friends (especially your Mom who I met during the COPS WALK). I pray the Lord will bring her some peace and healing!

The days come and go
I still miss you so
I try to keep going
The fake side of me I am showing.

I am so tired, so sad
I want to go away and hide.
Everyone seems so loud.
I want to get lost in the crowd.

Noone seems to understand
My love for you has no end
You are always in my heart
You are always in my thoughts.

Inside I am screaming,
Inside I am shaking,
Inside I am so angry....

I LOVE YOU, my Brian.

Dear Brian,

Happy Easter! I have thought about you even more than I normally do, if that is possible, over the past three days because it was on a Good Friday that we met you for the first time. The love of your life brought you to have dinner with us, and she was absolutely glowing! I think back to that day so much often and recall how we were immediately drawn to you. We noticed right away how respectful and polite you were.

We love you and miss you more than words can tell. We have to hold onto the assurance that we will be with you again. Even with that promise, there is a deep void in our hearts every day because you aren't here.

I read this the other day and felt that it fit, so I will share it with you:

"You came into our lives for a little while. You left footprints on our hearts, and we will never be the same." (Author Unknown)

I trust that you are showing Detective Pearson around heaven and that the two of you are discovering how much you have in common. This country has lost far too many Brothers in Blue.

Please always remember that we will cherish you forever. I ask that you look down from above and take care of us. May God bless you!

Mrs. M.

Brian,

Memory is a place I can go to see your face.
But where can I go when I miss your embrace?
I LOVE YOU!!

Dear Brian,

I know that you have been so very busy as of late as you have welcomed the passengers and the crew of Flight 3407 and now an officer from the Wilmington Police Department. Like you, Officer Matthews gave his life trying to provide a safer place for the rest of us to live. From all accounts, he must have been a fine young man. Once again, the same as you. Your dad left a touching message on his memorial page. He and your mother miss you so much! We all miss you and love you more than words can ever say. We will always remember you and will keep you in our hearts forever. "...the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance." (Psalm 112:6) God bless you and keep you.

Just saw the video in your honor on our Law Enforcement driver's training. A great triute to you. Although I did not know you, it shows you touched so many. Thank you for your sacrifice. Please watch over us here still fighting the fight.

God Bless your family and may you forever rest in peace.

Hello Brian,

Today, we begin the year of 2009 without you. Like the previous ones, every day of this year will be a struggle. We can be thankful that you graced our lives with a joy beyond measure; however, we are incredibly sad because your stay was much too short. Your life had such a sterling quality. Your friends and loved ones miss you more than words can ever tell you. We feel such a deep void in our hearts. Please know how very much we love you! Until next time...

Another Christmas has passed without you. I look at your pictures and its like you are still here, how can it be? Life is so hard when you try to go on as usual and nothing is as usual! I wake up each morning and make myself get up and go, but it is a struggle. I Love you so much. My heart is broken. Others seem to go on but I don't think I will ever be able to. Sometimes I reach out just wanting to touch you, thinking that just maybe you will be there.

Dear Brian,

Merry Christmas! We love you and miss you so much, and I wish with all my heart that you were with us. You were such a sweet and kind person while you walked on this earth, and you brought more joy to our lives than you will ever realize. I know that you are an outstanding angel in heaven. A thoughtful lady by the name of Laura left you a reflection and stated that from reading your other messages she understood that you were a wonderful man. She is so right.

Please look down from above and take care of your mom, your dad, your brother, and your best girl. Being without you is so difficult for them. May God bless you. Until next time...

Brian,

Just wanted to say hey again around the holidays and let you know we all still think about you so much. It still does not seem real that you are not here. I have some of your things hanging in my office just to remember how we used to hang out on the ramp before we went on duty. We would get to the ramp about the same time. By the way just so you know the dolphins acutally have a winning record this year. Miss ya. Talk to ya later.

Years, days, minutes, seconds go by and nothing gets a little easier like I have been told. I can't sleep, I push myself to go each day. I cannot believe, or I should say, I refuse to believe you are not still here with me. I LOVE YOU!!!

I like to come by this page a few times a week and leave a note to one of our brave heros. Today I came across your page, Brian. I've read the memories and remembrances left by your family members, co-workers and other loved ones. Since you've left such a great void in the lives of so many people, I gather that you were a wonderful man. I will pray that God heals the hearts of those that have been left behind to remember you. Thank you for your service, sir. But also for being the kind of person who even when off-duty, had the ability to deeply impact the world. You've exemplified the word hero.

To the loved ones of Brian, my heart hurts for you. I pray that Lord wraps his arms around you and provides you with peace.

God rest. Never forgotten.

Dear Brian,

Today is Thanksgiving Day, a sad and empty holiday without you with us. I can be thankful for the way you touched so many lives while on earth and for the joy you brought to our lives. We love and miss you more than words can ever begin to tell. No matter what other people may try to say, I can assure you that time will never heal all hurt. Our hearts are heavy each and every day with the pain of being away from you.

Your star is absolutely brillant tonight, and I feel that brilliance is your way of sending us your love and letting us know that you are safe in heaven. You were such a good man, and I know that you are a wonderful angel. Please look after us from above. We send all our love to you!

I remember the day of your funeral. Even now, it seems really surreal. You, one of our brothers, passed on and entered into the arms of the Lord. We haven't forgotten you. The newer Deputies never met you and I see that as a loss. You were a great man and a great Deputy and I'm proud to say that I had the honor to meet you.

Brian,
I haven't written in a long time however you are always in my thoughts. We at the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office miss you terribly. I drive by your parents house all the time on the way to Wilmington. I say a little prayer for them each time. I hope it helps.
