Hi #2 Son

Just wanted to stop by and wish you a Merry Christmas. Another Christmas is going by without you being here, and that really sucks. I guess what really keeps us going is watching Jared and Dusty trying to guess what Santa has left them. I think this year they will have a rough time thinking that they might know what is in their packages. I only wish you could be here. I know you will be watching from up there and getting a good laugh to see us pull one over on them. I hope it doesn't take all day.

They keep saying it will get easier, but I wonder when that will be.

Love and miss you.

Hey Scott

You were in my dream the other night...not really a dream so much as reliving a nightmare. Was at your viewing and I was walking past the casket...it was so real and disheartening. Not sure why all the sudden I dreamed of that out of the blue, then I got to thinking....it was in the early morning hours of Dec 6...the 40th month anniversary of when you were taken and 40 being the last birthday you got to celebrate.

As you know, Ive been going through alot of crap lately and I would like to think it was your way of telling me to hang in there...things could be much worse!

Thanks for watching over all your friends...we miss you!

Happy Thanksgiving #2 son

Sorry I haven't been here in a while.

We did our usual Thanksgiving trip, which we have been doing for the last 4 years. My only regret is and it breaks my heart is that you are not here taking that trip. This was you trip from the beginning, but one scum bag took that away from you and from us.

We were (as you well know) at the new Cowboy's stadium. I want to thank Barry, Carly, Gene, Betty & Dan for always making us welcome and taking us under their wing and making us part of their family and also seeing that we have a wonderful time. It is such a pleasure for me and something I will cherish for the rest of my life to see Josh and Jared having such a wonderful time meeting quite a few of the players and getting their autographs.

We got to tour the new stadium. It is just so amazing. Even if you are not a cowboy's fan, you have to go see it. J.B., our tour guide was really great. One of his questions he asked the group was, "Why did Jerry Jones keep a whole in the roof of the dome? Someone answered, so God to see his angels play. I wanted to reply to that and say there was another reason and that was so Scotty Wertz (a true die hard Cowboy's fan) could also see his cowboy's play. THANK YOU JERRY JONES.

Please be with us as we have to go through another Christmas without you. It just does not get any easier. I just think of all the guessing that we all will miss and the surprises. The only one guessing I guess will be Dusty. Jared seems to have to tell us what he would like, cause heaven forbid it is not easy trying to get things for a teenager when they don't even know what they want.

Love and miss you.

Hey Hon. I was listening to my i-pod today when the song "In Memory Of" came on. It was written about police officers who die in the line of duty. I can't seem to find the words anywhere. But anyway, it made me think of you and how much I miss you! Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Although it has "only" been 3 years, it sometimes feels like a lifetime ago. Jared and Josh did very well this season in football and soccer. I saw you flying by several times so I know you were there! I know I say it often, but it just breaks my heart that you are not here in person. It kills me that you are not here to help them become men. I try my best, but I'm not you!

There have been some big changes in my life, as you know. I want to thank you for helping me with them. Although these changes have been a blessing, it doesn't change the way I feel about you or how much I miss you. I'm trying to live my life the best way I know how without you here. You know I would want the same for you if I wasn't here and you were!

Please continue to watch over us, especially the boys!! We all love and miss you terribly! Until we meet again . . .

Love forever,

Trish

This is not the web site for the New York Yankees gift shop ??? ...... lol.. What's up Brother ??
The Yankees did it, World Series Champs... I know your proud of them. Since I took your place as a Yankees fan I enjoyed every minute of it. The Red Sox fans don't like me, but neither did my ex-wife. I had a World Series bet with Chuck.... if the Philles won I would have to wear a Phillies shirt next time he came up. If the Yankees won ( which they did!! ) Chuck would have to wear a dress next time he came up !!. Looks like Chuck will be shopping for a dress !!.


Good bye for now,

This was Nicholas' first year of football. He is amazing. He was put on the Varsity team, and he is the happiest little kid ever. He started off as a safety and and end, but ended up being a wing back & linebacker. HE is CRAZY!!!!This boy is so freakin fast it is unbelievable. When he gets a hold of that ball and runs, forget about it,he dusts them.I wish you could see him. You definitely would be proud. He makes the same facial expressions that you do. It's amazing how he looks so much like izzy, but sometimes he looks just like you. Definitely acts like you. Loving his sports, wrestling start soon, and we will be running around with that, and then baseball. We really miss you not being here, and it breaks my heart that Nicholas will never really get to really see what his Uncle Scott is like. I tell him stories all of the time, but it just is not the same. I miss you so much, and not a day goes by that you are not on my mind. I love you Scott, and I miss you more everyday.

I carry you in my heart:)

Love you so much.

Hey Hon. Well, today was our "baby's" first day of high school and Josh's first day of 5th grade. They both did well. (It is amazing how time flies!!) It just kills me that you are not here in person to be with them and see them. However, I know you are always watching over them so that brings some comfort. Just know that we love you and miss you like crazy and there isn't an hour of the day that you are not thought of by one of us!

Love forever,

Hi #2 son

I wrote this on your 3rd anniversary, but for some reason it did not get posted. Here it is, three horrible years later since you were taken from us. I hoped it would get easier, but it just is not happening. There are some happy days and that is whyen we know you are here watching over us.

It is still so hard for me to accept that you are no longer with us, and I know I have to face the fact that it is so.

I want to thank you for stopping by the other day. You always seem to know when we are having a bad day and when we need you and we can count on you always being there. It is such a pleasure and makes us feel so good when we see and know you are here watching over us.

Thank you for giving us some sunshine on Sunday so we could get your ride in. I would like to thank everyone who came out and also all the ones who couldn't make the ride due to the weather or having to work, but they were thinking of you and how you were on their minds and in their hearts. They just want you to know that you will never be forgotten.

Please be with Trish and the boys so this day can be a little easier for them.

Love and miss you.

3 Years today.....Not any easier this year than any other.

Last year on this day we were sitting at your trial. The year before that we had wings with Trish. The year before that, I was at Steph and Wayne's house when you kept calling Leisey about the game Sunday. I will always remember what I was doing that night and will always remember were and what I was doing when I got the call....That horrible,horrible night. I will never forget it.

Sending love back.....Lisa

Scott,

Unfortunately, my daughter's birthday also marks the week you were taken from your family and friends. I hope your family knows that so many people still remember you and hurt because you are gone. We will always remember and honor you.

Hey Scott...been thinking about you all day knowing it's been three years since you were taken away. The RPD is not the same without you. I still see that smirk you had on the last day I saw you with your red hat worn backwards walking the 4th floor in the services center.

Trish...I hope you're doing okay. I know it's been a while since I've been on but you're always in my prayers.

Well here it is 3 horrible years later since you were taken from us. I hoped it would get easier, but it just doesn't seem to happen. There are some happy days and that is when we know you are here watching over us. It is still so hard for me to accept that you are no longer with us., but I want to thank you for stopping by the other day. It is such a pleasure and makes us feel so good when we see and know you are here.

Thank you for giving us some sunshine on Sunday so we could get your ride in. Thanks to everyone who was there and also to the people who couldn't come (DUE TO THE WEATHER) but were thinking of you and how you were on their minds and in their hearts. They just want you to know that you are not or will never be forgotten.

It just breaks my heart that you are not here in person to see all the accomplishments that the boys do or all their firsts. We miss your hearty laughs that would always let us know you were around.

Please be with Trish day and give her the strength to get through this day. I know it is not easy for her and she seems to hide the hurt and heart ache very well.

Love and miss you so much.
