Reflections for Trooper Paul Francis Barry

My dear husband..... my best friend.......watch over our beautiful children and keep them close......such a tough timeline for them, with your anniversary and Father's Day this weekend. You were the son, brother, friend, father, and husband that everyone wishes they had, and the kind of person everyone wants to be like. The passage of time is so different for us, and 6 years can feel like six seconds. Your physical presence is so deeply missed in our home everyday, try though we do to go forward, living our lives in your honor. You live on always in our hearts, and in all our happy memories, and we are deeply grateful that God blessed us with you ~ you are forever missed and endlessly loved. Forever, for always and no matter what. 9-4

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 6th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace,

I pray for the solace of all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever. Your family is in my heart's embrace. Thanks to your family and friends for sharing their memories and devotion to you through their reflections.

You are my heart and soul, and always on my mind, but never more than when we head to DC for Peace Officers Memorial Week services. Hopefully, we can be of help to other families, facing such impossible loss. You are so deeply missed every day in our home, loved beyond words, and we will honor you by going forward, for you, for the rest of our lives. I love you Paul.....forever, for always, and no matter what. 9-4

As the New year is here and it sit and think, you hit the top of the list. I know I haven't wrote much lately and that doesn't mean your not on my mind. Not a day goes by that I don't travel past the spot we meet on the highway that morning. Not a day goes by that I don't travel under the overpass that bears your name. The job I have now puts me at the State Police training academy.... Yhat is the most wounderful place. The thoughts of you hit me the hardest when I go there.. Don't ever think for one day Paul theat I could ever forget about you.. That will never happen.. Watch down on us and take very special care of your loved one's..

Hard to believe sweetheart, our 6th Christmas without you right here with us. I don't know really, how we've gone forward without you, but we had to. Hard time of the year for our babes, so watch over them extra honey....they miss their Daddy so much, not just at Christmas, they miss you and our old life every day. They're amazing kids Paul.....I see you in each and every one of them. Their goodness, kindness and strength of character, and their compassion, patience and tolerance. You would be so proud of them, and I know you are. They never want to be treated differently, or pull 'the sympathy card', as so many kids and people would. They hate that nonsense, like you and I always did, and strive to be normal and regular. And they are. Rest easy my guy, I have our watch and will see our family through. You and our seven children are the best thing that ever happened to me, the greatest blessing I've ever received, and so much more than I ever expected to be given in my life. You are forever loved and deeply missed.....not just at Christmas or the New Year, but each and every day in our home. For me, you were home. I love you Paul, forever for always, and no matter what. 9-4

19 years ago today...I made the best choice I ever made in my life. I married my best friend. Our 16 years together were a blessing, a moment in time, and we were so lucky, and so greatly blessed with our seven amazing children. Crazily, and astonishingly, we'll be at your 5th Memorial Golf Tournament today....it just happened to fall on 'our date'. I love you Paul, more than words can ever say. The kids and I miss you......so deeply, all the time.......every day.....we stay the course, for you, honey, ....forever, for always and no matter what......I love you most

Thinking today Paul, about your amazing life, how you chose to live your life, and what you accomplished in your much too short 39 years. Your life and legacy lives on, through our beautiful children....the greatest gifts we ever gave to each other......I see so much of you in each of them..... all the best of you and me is in the 7 of them, and they so remind me of you in different ways........it's a blessing, and a comfort. I know you're so proud of our children~ they're growing by leaps and bounds, and they "stay the course" with me. Like you, they're incredible, and a gift to this world. Please keep watch over them, protect and guide them as you can....you are so deeply missed, more than I could ever say in words. Rest easy honey......I have our watch, and promise you always that I'll do my absolute best to see our family through. I love you Paul, forever, for always, and no matter what. ME

Paul-
Over the Memorial Day Weekend Mike and I (as well as friend of ours) ran Boston's Run to Remember- Half Marathon in honor of you. Every step we took, we took in your memory. You were in our hearts every step of the way. I don't think I could have finished had I not had you, Maryellen, and the kids on my mind and in my heart. The race started and ended at the 7-11 you and Mike frequented on details, you to get your ice cream sandwich.....brought back a lot of memories for Mike- tears of happiness and sadness. We continue to think of you every day, Maryellen and the kids are in our prayers.

Our love and many hugs sent to you in heaven.
