What kindof peace do we seek?Not a Pax
Americana enforced on the world by American
weapons of war.Not the peace of the grave
or the security of the slave.I am talking
about genuine peace,the kind of peace that
makes life on earth worth living...not
merely peace for Americans,but peace for
all men and women;not merely peace in our
time,but peace for all time.
John F. Kennedy
Happy thanksgiving to you brother Barry and to the peaple you love and to the State police.I love to see those E.P.Cruisers with those beautiful blue lights that mean caring and safe.I always rmember you because I know how much you care for making peaple safe.

On my regular jogging route, I run by the street in Franklin that is named after you. I never met you, the the MSP officers I know tell me you were an honorable man.
To the family of Trooper Barry:
"I pray that the Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom."

Dear Daddy:
God took the strength of a mountain
The magesty of a summer sun
The calm o a quiet sea
The generous soul of nature
The conforting arm of night
The wisdom of the ages
The power of the eagles flight
Then God combined these qualities
When there was nothing to add
He knew his masterpiece was complete
And so he called it Dad
We love you with all our hearts forever

flowers

Your memory continues to live on and not a day passes in which you are forgotten. I remember working the mid-shift that early June morning and think of your family daily. May God continue to watch over them.

Fill not your hearts wirh pain
and sorrow,but remember me
in every tomorrow.Remember the
joy,the laughter,the smiles.I've
only gone to rest for a while.
Although my leaving causes pain
and grief,my going has eased my
hurt and given me relief.So dry
your eyes and remember me,not as
I am but as I used to be.Because,
I will remember you all and look
on with a smile.Understand in
your hearts,I've onle gone to
rest a while.As long as I have
the love of you,I can live my
life in the hearts of all of you.
Happy birthday to you brother Barry.
We still remember you every day specially your family.

Today marks the third birthday we've had without you here with us Paul, and the children and I miss you more than I can ever put into words. The kids started school today, and James had kindergarten orientation. He's so you Paul;it amazes and comforts me, that you are here, in all our beautiful children. The passage of time that I mark through them takes my breath away. They are wonderful people Paul, and I know you are so proud of them. They're everything we ever wanted,more than we ever dreamed of,and all the good of me and you is in the children we were so blessed to create. Stay near us all Paul,and watch over the family and friends who miss you so deeply and love you so much. Help me in all the ways that you can , to stay the course and see us through like I promised you. I love you Paul, with all my heart. Forever, for always, and no matter what. 2-4 Maryellen

Father's Day Blessing from Saint Mark's Parish:
Dear God,when I am called father,
it makes me uneasy!
Being a parent is like being a God.
A"god"to my children who constantly
need me to provide food,shelter and clothing,
education and health care,and a home where
love is the growing force.
Being a parent helps me realize how much
I depend on you:
how much I am your child.
Let my children teach me how to be
dependent on You,my Father,
and grant me the strength to witness
to my children that love that you have
for them as well as for me.
Bless my endeavors to never lose sight
of your blessings and your call to
be an example of love and goodness to my children.
I ask all of this in your name! AMEN
We love you Brother Barry.Happy Father's Day.

Dear Maryellen and Children
You and Paul are in our prayers every day. After reading the reflections on this page, it is clear to see that Paul can be very proud of his dear Maryellen and the job she is doing with their wonderful 7 children. I know he is with them and guides them every day. Paul was MaryE's soul mate and is her spirit mate.
Emily, your words are beautiful and you are a fine representative of your sisters and brothers. Dad is proud of all of you.
Be well and be sure that someday you will be held in Paul's embrace again.
Love,
Auntie Karen (and Bill)

It's so difficult Paul, to believe that tomorrow we arrive at your two year anniversary. In my mind, it was a moment ago, our last day together as our beautiful family of nine. Nothing is perfect I know, but that day was just so good- the dinner we all had together, swimming in the pool even in the rain, and me trying my hardest to get you to call off what would prove to be your last detail. You being you, you wanted to save your time off for the perfect weather days, and went to work - taking such care of me and the children, as always. Our beautiful children are growing by leaps and bounds, and truly sustain me. I find such comfort in their sky blue eyes, amazing smiles, and their laughs that are so like yours, that they make me want to laugh too! Every day I see all the goodness of you developing in them - their great love of life, and their kindness and compassion towards everyone, that is so like yours. I know for sure they will grow up to be wonderful people Paul, and will be your legacy, and such a tribute to your life, so well lived. I am so grateful always, Paul, to have ever had a moment with you. We were so richly blessed, and you and the children are the best thing that ever happened to me. I will never know why I was so fortunate to have been given so much in my time here. I promise you always to continue to honor you in every way possible, and to see our family through. I hope you rest easy,my beautiful husband, knowing I have your watch forever, until we meet again. Stay with us Paul, and give us your love, strength, and support. Watch over us, and all of our family and friends, that help me and the children so much, to get through each day.I love you Paul, with all my heart, forever, for always and no matter what. 9-4, with all my love, Maryellen

It just doesn't get any easier without you with us.
